Yeah it does work, got a puncture straight off so changed the tube and gave it a go, its pretty hard with the suspension though, need lockout on them lol.

Not much clearance between the pedals and the ground. Plenty of space for a bigger wheel though

[JakeyR]

I know but it'd look real odd with a 26in wheel on it, plus itd be too tall it's already borderline.

that's fantastic.

How do the pedals turn though, are they bolted to the outside of the forks? Maybe I'm just really tired and hungover but I fail to see how the wheel turns?

I'm tempted to try this this afternoon but no doubt it'll fail somewhat dreadfully in comparison to your beast.

Nice one

Steve.

Needs a bigger wheel and a knobbly tyre

A mate of mine used to do unicycle trials, that shit was crazy.

EDIT: Nut welded into crank, not bolt.

Met this guy at work, he chopped up a BMX and rides it like that.

He said he use to have two wheels but he use to do crazy speed and stunts so he needs 1 wheel and no handles to calm him down.

Oddly enough...

I saw a guy on the A720 Edinburgh city bypass on a unicycle. He must have been doing something for charity although, you're not allowed on the bypass with a pedal bike.

I wonder if he made it to the other end.

Theres also a guy I see going up and down Leith Walk on one, I can't help but think, why not just get a bike? You look like a twat on that thing.

But then, each to their own and all that shiz.

There used to be a couple of guys near me who used unicycles. They were Swampy look-a-likes who thought you had to ride a unicycle to hug a tree.

Would these fit onto an axle and therefore eliminate the need to weld a nut into a crank?

I'm looking for an easy way out lol, and a cheaper alternative to a proper unicycle

Unicycle Crank Arms

Cheers,
Steve

[G]

No - they are just like normal crank arms as far as I know.
It's not like unicycles are massively expensive in the first place - £35 or so new for a cheap one, less second hand.
