  1. I'm sure you guyz have speedo's on ya cokers, and if ya don't ya should
    :p

    Wondering with what setup included, what is your guyz average speed, on
    whatever route you like to ride?

    Considering whether to get a UDC coker or a KH29 for this Hadrian's
    wall run.

  5. I'm on my way around New England on a Coker with 20lbs of gear on the
    frame. I've clocked my speed on a GPS receiver as high as 16 MPH with
    an average of 10 or 11 MPH.

    I don't quite get what you're asking. A Coker is the fastest unicycle
    you can get without gearing up a giraffe or finding an internally
    geared hub. A lot of distance riders prefer a coker with 4 1/2" cranks
    for maximum distance with minimum stroke.

  7. Yo,

    Do you have more information about this Hadrian's wall run? Is it open
    to the public? What sort of event is it?

    I'm not that fit, and on my Nimbus 29er (125mm cranks), I can average
    8-9mph no problem. My top speed, trying really hard is just a touch
    under 14mph, but that doesn't leave much room for error. These numbers
    are from my cycle computer which is approximately correctly set but may
    not be completely accurate.

    Cheers,
    Mark

    Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
    pedals!
    Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
    Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
    Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

  9. According to my meager research, the best unicycle for riding *up* Mt.
    Diablo in Northern CA (1000+ meters, 3300'😉 is a Coker. When it comes
    down to slogging at your cardio conditioning's limit, the Coker is
    going to go faster than something smaller.

  11. I donno 'bout you, but I don't wear a speedo while riding my coker.
    Anyway, my average speed is usually between 10 and 11 mph, with an
    airfoil rim and 150mm crank arms.
