  1. Have you ever wanted to design your own unicycle, or have anything that
    you think needs to be done to certain unicycles, any color ideas, part
    changes on certain unicycles, new parts that should be introduced into
    the unicycle industry...
    I think hollowed bolts for the seatpost clamps would be cool, new
    pedals from companies such as Animal, Demolition,Crank Bros the brands
    are endless.Primo makes some pretty cool looking spokes too. The come
    in colors of black, blue,brown,red, yellow and green.A more variety of
    seat post clamps would be nice too. Some of the companies mentioned
    already and many more make some nice seatpost clamps that are a bit
    lighter and nicer than ones that come stock on unicycles already.
    Profile should try to start making colored unicycle hubs because they
    make them colored for the BMX bikes. Thats my little piece of mind,
    what about you?

  2. This all seems to be cosmetics. What does that matter?

    I would like to see a good light TI cranks with a geared strong hub. I
    hate rolling for an hour on my little 19" when I could do it twice as
    fast.

    I would also like to see a studded 19" tire for the winter months here
    in Canada with a rubber compound that doesn't crack.

  5. If you want different colors just order stuff custom powder-coated from
    Bedford. One thing that I would like to see is disk breaks as they work
    awesome on my bike and cost less than the Magura breaks, and I have
    chains on my wheel for the winter and therefore I would only be able to
    have a rim break on for approximately half a year at a time

  6. I think many people would like to see uprated 36" parts: a better rim,
    knobbly tyres and a splined 125mm bearing spacing hub.

    I think the point is parts that don't exist atall, obviously we'd all
    love all unicycle parts to be much cheaper.

    well that could work except that then most of your power would be lost
    on the shocks when you pedaled..... I would like to build a custom
    Titanium 36er frame, but I got a price quote from a guy in my area that
    makes custom titanium bike frames and I gave hime all the dimensions of
    the frame I wanted, the price quote was about 1,500 USD, WAY too
    expensive for my taste....

  11. I would like to see

    A smooth 19" tire, like a Primo Wall

    a gel seat with more than just a tiny pad of gel

    A light geared hub for 19"ers

    I think for this to be worthwhile I would have to go with ideas that
    aren't likely to become a reality, but would be really nice features.

    Firstly, a folding 36" wheel. Being able to get a whole Coker in to a
    backpack to transport it around would be great. It would, of course,
    have to be very light weight, and easily assembleable.

    Secondly, adjustable cranks. Some lightweight cranks that can shorten
    from, say, 170mm down to 90mm on the fly would be superb. A lot of my
    journeys are on variable terrain, so increasing the length for hills,
    and decreasing it for smooth flat runs would help at all. But it's got
    to be instant without dismounting, or taking out spanners.

    Oh, and couple of little tripod legs that deploy automatically so that
    I can stop at traffic lights without having to idle.

    And all of this would be available in purple. Or green. Or purple and
    green.
