  1. I am planning on using my KH29 for our local Duathlon at the end of May
    this year. It has 13 miles of hill running, then 18 miles of road
    cycling. The cycle is on country roads with a good few hills going up
    and down.

    I am on holiday this week, and had a practice on the route to see how I
    got on, having never covered the route by unicycle before. It went
    well, I only had to push up one hill, and enjoyed it a lot. It took me
    2 hours and 20 minutes, with a moving average of 8mph. I know that
    isn't fast, but for some reason that is the speed I seem to unicycle
    at, I had the cranks on the 125mm setting, and I used a 2.0" Big Apple
    tyre.

    I have to get going at picking up my running mileage again, and do a
    few runs with unicycling after them, but I am feeling a little more
    confident that I will manage it on the day, I just hope I get the same
    weather that I had today.

  2. If you're comfortable with the 125s, try a pair of 102s to add some
    speed (or ease) to the ride. This is what I've used for racing in the
    past. Or a Coker, if you have access to one. 🙂 Good luck!
