Re: Gear inch equivalent for muni climbing

Yes, keeping balance takes some of the power that you could put into climbing when on a bike. However, with more practice the portion of your power devoted to balance becomes less. Same for sustained momentum, because with more practice you can go quite slow on a muni and still keep your balance. On the plus side: what works in your favour is that a unicycle is lighter than a bicycle. In the end, with enough experience, a 1:1 bike and a 1:1 unicycle with the same size wheels can pretty much climb the same hills. If traction is an issue (steep hill and mud or loose sand), a unicycle may even have an advantage because it has all-wheel drive! -- Klaas Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Klaas Bil's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3442 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70916 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
