The KH24″ ride last week got me all hot and sweaty — for more technical small wheel riding. I headed back to Twin Bridges in cold Autumn rain with my KH20″ to start working on the ‘Winter Steps Challenge’. By the end of Winter the aim is to be able to ride up and down all sets of steps on the Twin Bridges trail on as many wheel sizes as possible. (more…)

After a few days of riding smaller wheels it was a hoot to get back on the 36’er GUNI and head out into the forest for an afternoon ride of ~20km including a variety of trails and ~1200 metres of climbing – enough to keep you busy. (more…)

The KH24 has been getting dusty lately, but not from use on the trail. I’ve been considering selling it over the last couple of months as not many of the forest rails close to our house require a 24″ unicycle for the most part – though the 24″ was my main ride before the bigger wheels arrived. Today’s ride welcomed back the 24! (more…)

I’ve had this thing about unicycling ‘in town’… I never have, preferring to ride in the forest near our home. Today I finally got over it and man, what a blast of an afternoon! (more…)

Mid last year I purchased a Garmin GSC 10 Speed and Cadence sensor which I mounted for a short time on my KH 29’er. A recent thread on ‘Quantifying the effect of unicycle gearing and crank length on speed‘ inspired me to fit the GSC 10 to my KH36 GUNI to learn more about my natural spin and what effect the 2 speed hub has on it.

Spare Schlumpf Shifter Buttons Arrive!

MIA Schlumpf Shifter Button

Post category:Mountain Unicycling Schlumpf Hub

Out on an afternoon forest ride in early April the familiar clicking sound as I went to change gears was absent, my ankle and shoe couldn’t seem to find the shifter button. No wonder – the button was MIA. How useful is a GUNI 36’er on the trail without those little shifter buttons? Not very… ARGH! (more…)

Pimp My Ride

It all started off with a mismatched paint job on my new KH36 unicycle last October. No big deal but UDCA kindly offered to have the frame powder coated. I couldn’t decide on a color and didn’t want the 36er to be out of action for a couple of weeks. I also thought if I ever got around to doing anything about the paint job, removing it and going for a polished Alu look could be cool. (more…)
