I got my new unicycle delivered on monday, and started
riding it a bit on monday. I have been riding a 20" schwinn
for 6 years on and off. It Took me two tries to freemount
with the 29" then after a couple minutes i didnt mess up.
Right away i rode it off my porch and onto the street. It
felt so much different, and even lighter than my 20"
schwinn. After about 5-10 minutes I was able to do 180 jump
turns with it, and could ride backwards, hop onto the curb
and ride on it, and ride with my stomach on the seat. I
could easily do these tricks on the 20", but I didnt expect
I would be able to adjust so fast to the 29". So if anyone
is worried about adjustment from different wheel sizes, it
isnt too much of a difference (for me at least). It goes a
lot faster and I have been riding it nonstop ever since
monday. I have the 150 cranks on right now (maybe thats why
the transition was also very easy). I think i will order the
125s soon, so I can go faster. I rode about 10 miles today,
and the only pain I really felt after the ride was saddle
soreness. The Kris Holm seat is a lot better than the
schwinn seat, but I still start to get sore after 15-20
minutes. I am going to have to experiment with airseats and
maybe biking shorts with padding. Do the biking shorts help
at all with saddle soreness?
