  1. I wondered about this before I owned a uni, but only now do I see the
    solution...

    To get a uni from a bike, you would have to use the front fork as a
    frame, cut a split in the top to allow a seatpost to be snugged down,
    and stick a seat and seatpost in there... from here you could wheelwalk,
    or if you need cranks then you would have to lace a uni hub into the rim
    to allow the attachment of cranks... then you can chop the sprocket off
    and use those cranks or get uni cranks and bolt em in.

    A bicycle rim won't be very strong though, for unicycling. You're
    putting twice as much weight as it was meant for, so it will probably
    come out of true and deform as you ride...

    Not to mention, unless you fit a uni hub to the wheel, it will only have
    the dinkey axle bearings.

    We are all riding around on bike rims (except for kh5 owners).

  5. Now Im trying to manage some pedals. Screw the seat for now. I already

    with anything. I cant mess with anything. I'll keep trying.
