Tony and I tried this a couple of years back when our coker wheelsets
arrived but the frames were not yet built.

Photos etc comparing a 20" and 36" ultimate wheel are at:

Advice to all those wanting to try this -
Riding wasn't that hard, mounting with 125mm cranks however was a little
tricky to start with. I would try longer cranks for your first session.
Rolling mounts were actually easier than starting from a static position
using a post.

It's kinda like making a regular ultimate faster transportation, and at
the same time making a Coker easier to pack and transport, cool.

Mine would be easier to transport as I can slide an arm through and
sling it on my shoulder.

Kris' would have to be carried (not by Kris because he would simply
ride it everywhere) and a big ol' Coker wheel is even more awkward when
it can't be rolled

I've ridden mine for 1.5 km's once

Do you need grippiy pinned pedals for this? I now have a coker to try
it on. I guess I'll see for myself.

Okay I went out for a little 20 minute practise on my coker wheel. I've
never tried an UW before today and it certainly is fun...and different.
I can only go about 5m at the moment. I'm hoping to get the hang of it
by the end of the day though. In answer to my question, no you don't
need grippy pedals, but pads help if your technique is as poor as mine
currently is. I was amazed at how much the wheel can wobble and tilt
side to side before you fall off. You can see it in the following
pics.

For those wanting to try it here's my advice. For the first few minutes
it feels utterly impossible (well it did for me anyway) but then you'll
realise that you have to tilt the wheel quite a bit to the side of your
rear pedal as it comes around...at least I do at the stage I'm at now.

I love it.

Andrew, I would think you running flying mount would be a perfect way to
mount this UW. --chirokid--

🙂 Well maybe eventually. I was thinking of trying to jump on while
it's rolling along in a few days. I just got back from another 20
minute ride and did better this time. I went 35m a few times and found
it's easier down a hill but also easy to build up too much speed which
can be a little bit scary. I also went backwards for two full revs
which was great fun. I'm really enjoying this and I'm going to work on
some tricks like 180 twists, etc eventually. Thanks for showing usa
it's possible on a regular coker Kris.

Eh? Whatchu tockin' 'bout Willis? I found that keeping the wheel as
vertical as possible was the best way to ride in control. Try some
shorter cranks (127mm) for extra fun and speed!

i would think it would acually be a little easier since the angle at
which the tire pitches into your legs is less than a smaller wheel.

now imagine a special pair of trousers that have a roller so one could
sit one the tire and ride...sans frame.

Looking at the video I would choose short hills to ride down, that wheel is
gonna have a tendency to do the rest of the hill by itself..

I've never tried to ultimate wheel, but this has all been terribly
inspiring. When the sun comes up, I'll have to give a naked 29er a
go!

And I like the roller idea, jagur! (though, upon reflection, a poorly
designed/positioned roller could have the potential to be severely
uncomfortable)

Yes, but the converse is also of course true... What was the name of
