I’d been looking into GPS gadgets mid 2008 as we live on the edge of the Wombat State Forest which has endless tracks, many unmarked and unmapped. A GPS would allow me to record my rides, for my own knowledge as well as sharing ride info with others. (more…)
On a recent trip to Melbourne I collected 10 unicycles for uni classes I’ll be running at the school my kids attend, after the Easter holidays. Should be great fun! (more…)
There are several natural enemies of the unicyclist. Loose shoe laces are one of them. You’re buzzing along on the uni, on road, off road, unbeknownst to you your shoelace has come loose and is winding itself around the pedal spindle and anything else it can find. Before you know it you’re posting pictures to the unicycle forum, x-rays of the new plates and screws in your body. No joke! (more…)
It turned out to be too hot in the middle of the day for a ride, so with a craft knife in hand I decided it was time to starting working on converting my 36 Nightrider into a knobby tire. (more…)
On a trip to Melbourne a few weeks ago I came across a pair of Speedplay Drillium pedals and they’ve have been on my mind ever since – the larger platform would be really useful on the 36 GUNI which has become my main off road uni, and along with light weight dang these pedals look awesome. (more…)
My second set of Ay Up lights arrived the other day. It was finally time to test them! I’d ordered a narrow light to replace the intermediate light on my helmet, with the intermediate light now being fitted to my XC bars, resulting in a typical MTB night Ay Up setup. (more…)
Unfortunately nothing I do seems to stop my Schlumpf hub from eating Moment cranks. By that I mean eventually a crank (on either side) will progressively move close to the frame to the point of almost touching it – at which time I replace the cranks rather than damage either myself, the frame or the hub. I am now onto my third pair of cranks, which is a concern as Moment cranks aren’t cheap. (more…)
Could the KH36 GUNI be the perfect uni? Maybe! I have really been enjoying riding my KH36 GUNI. (more…)
