  1. Just received my new Coker! Tried to get it put together on my lunch
    hour but ran out of time. Will try it out on my street tonight and
    post some photos. It feels pretty light, I'm going to weigh it. There
    is no way that it is 4 pounds heavier than the BigOne. I can't imagine
    the frame is much more than 4 lbs. by itself.

  6. Pictures or it didn't happen!

    I really hope you had tons of distractions while putting it together,
    it takes me about 5 minutes to build my Unicycle...

    Yeah, I had to eat, and drive to and from my office. It takes longer
    to get it out of the box than put it together.

  9. Nice squiddy! I've been out to Aliso several times lately for
    stairstepper and rockit rides, so the next time I'm out there maybe you
    could meet me there before or after my ride so I could get JL's trials
    Uni back.😎 Maybe this Sunday.

  11. Squid in motorcycling circles means "Stupidly Quick, Underequipped, and
    Inevitably Dead". We should come up with an acronym for this squidly
    unicycle. "Stupidly Quick Unicycle Inspires Desire"?

    I like it!
    I weighed it at 17 pounds today. I am going to take it to my LBS where
    they have a more accurate scale. It seems lighter than the 19 pounds
    advertised.
    Installed the "linear pull" brake today, nice, clean install. light and
    works well. Shake down cruise will be a local bike trail tomorrow.
    Details coming.

  13. Here's a photo of the brake install, very clean.

    Did my first Coker ride, 12 miles on a busy bike trail. Really smooth,
    fun and a good cardio work out. I'm hooked.

    Do you not bang your knees on that frame? It looks to me like it would
    get in the way a lot.

    I was thinking that too. I've been waiting for someone who had ridden
    it to tell me otherwise.

  16. In the picture above, what's all the hardware around the seatpost,
    surrounding the seatpost clamp? Something to do with attaching the
    brake?

    I occaisionally brush the back of my thigh on it, but I am running the
    seat a bit low because I have never ridden a 36er and am a little
    sketchy. Once I get comfy, I'll raise the seat and it will be a
    non-issue. The tubes are smaller diameter than single tube frames.

    That is the clamp on my bike stand holding it up! Here is a clampless

  19. I like the look of the 48 spoke wheel on a 36er
    I wonder if there would be any strength gain for those doing off road
    on 36ers?
