    did my first miler without falling off (although that was not from a
    free mount)

    That's one more of us and one less of them.

    Another way to rotate the tyre is to take the cranks off and move them
    one face on.
    It'll make sense when you have them off.
    It might be slighly like swatting a fly with a Buick to do it this way,
    but then you don't have to worry about the tube moving or not moving or
    getting caught anywhere.
    The other advantage is that you'll realise it's actually quite easy to
    remove cranks (with the right tool) and that you too can start playing
    around with different length cranks.

    wouldn't that be kind of mean to the garbage can? 😄

    good point. perhaps just light it on fire. xD

    thanks a lot for all of your help. i'm going to do some of those things
    today.

    also, thanks a LOT, trials_uni, for your awesome tutorial. i would be
    so lost without it. i'll post later on to tell you how it went (and
    probably ask where i can get new cranks 😄). wish me luck!

    nah, don't light it on fire, the tire is still good, and the
    seatpost... you could even make something like a unicycle rack out of
    it!!
    hmmm
    how to do it
    you can figure out
    but it would look cool
    almost like a tandem unicycle
