Crazy Unicycle design

thus converting a unicyle into a UW while riding.

What is the point? then you have half of your uni on the ground...You
can just not put bolts in your bearing holders then ride around and
pull on the seat when you want it to pop off...🙄

how about a quick release wheel so you can change a tire quicker

My friends were drawing up napkin designs for QR bearing clamps. My
revolutionary idea was wingnuts. Haven't tried it but it is definitely
possible. You can use a lock washer so they stay tight longer (which I
think would be the biggest issue) and washer them out so they fit
around any bearing caps (although I suspect you could get nuts that
would work alone).

^^^^^ what about having one side of the bearing clamps on a hinge and
then the other has a quick release thingy on it, which hooks onto the
other side of the bearing clamp, it would be so much easier than pretty
much anything else.

yeah tomtrevor's got it. put a hinge on one side with a preset gap
according to the bearing size then a quick release on other side that
also has a hinge. You could loosen the qr then bend it away through a
notch in the bearing holder

there's a guy who makes frames with quick release bearing holders,
they're very cool. They have a hinge and I believe work with the same
mechanism as a quick release seatpost clamp.

search for it, you'll probably find the thread.

There was a unicycle design like what you are talking about in the
unicycle book by Jack Wiley. It was made with square or rectangle
tubing that fits together but without any bolts. Then when you fall off
the unicycle falls apart.

The quick release bearing holders are made by Jim_Rob. I have them on
my coker and they work great. If you want some PM him I think he is
still making them. Here's a picture of them.

why would you want your unicycle to fall apart? then you'd have a wheel
going one way and a seat going another and you'd have to go fetch them
and stick em back together.

I think everyone missed the point of the post. I was talking about a
unicycle that in mid-ride could be converted to a UW; possibly from a
remote (lever, button,etc...)

well if you were doing a performance and started by riding a uni that
was connected to a front wheel and handle bars then broke away the
front end, rode some more, then took off the frame and rode it as a uw
it would get a lot of laughs!

This thread isn't really talking about quick release bearing clamps.

I think it's a great idea! It would be hysterical to see your uni fall
apart behind you as you rode. I'd even vote for another mod to that
design to make it spring loaded.. so you can ride seat in front and
then shoot your whole frame/seat off in front of you, and ride away on
an UW.
