pashley

Pashley were good at a time when little else was available. They haven't
really updated their models in the last 10 years or so, and with the
advances in unicycle technology they've been left behind. They're
perfectly good quality, but as an exmaple their 26" muni doesnt have a
splined hub, doesnt have a strong wide rim, can't support decent tyres,
has an agonising saddle etc. but it very cheap by comparison. My first
ever uni was a pashley, and personally i wouldn't buy another one.

bscailly dont get one, its the old school uni....

for unicycle geeks only. Bad saddles/rounded frames/thin tyres / weak
thin rims / weak hubs / rubbish cranks / bad pedals.

they just need to remake some new ones....

I have a Pashley 26 MUni. It is solid, well built, medium spec. It is
also very very heavy.

I also own a KH and some Nimbuses. I would not buy another Pashley,
knowing what I now know.

Read your insurance policy, or a set of Ikea flat pack instructions. If
you don't fully understand it, then how can you be so certain in your

I just sent Pashley and email asking if they will be upgrading their
technology. It will be interesting to see their response. Having
another option to choose from in the future would be great.

It would be cool, but I can't see it ever happening, pashley's niche
isn't high performance, it's making things you can't get elsewhere i.e.
three wheelers, recumbants, multi-person bikes etc.

They make some fantastic stuff - I once rode a Pashley tandem, and they
made my first unicycle too - a UMX 20".

But they're off the pace now.

They used to make a couple of recumbents (the PDQ, which my next door
neighbour rides, and the PDQ3), but I believe they were both
discontinued several years ago.

Even when they /were/ making bents, it's not as if you couldn't get
them elsewhere.

They were forerunners but have been left behind which is a shame. I rode
my 26 for years.
