Re: Coker Frames for Sale?

I weigh 285 lbs. and once mounted a brand-new Coker with the stock steel
rim. It promptly folded before I even had all my weight on the seat.
My Coker has the airfoil rim and I've never even had a hint of problems.

I also have respoked wheels with both types of rims. When I set the
bare rims aside, the stock steel rim bent like a rubber band while not
under tension while the Airfoil rim laid flat and true on the floor.

The stock Coker rim is steel, is made cheaply, and has relatively uneven
sides, not intended for use with brakes.

If you plan to have brakes, the airfoil is almost a given. Otherwise,
it's just stronger and better-looking. It's made by a rim company out of
quality rim material.

I wish I could find an air foil rim. I called unicycle.com just now and
they said that the machine that makes them is broken so they dont know
when they'll get any. If any one knows where I can get one in time for
TWNR reliese (feb 19th) please let me know.

The regular frame with fit but you have to pull it out some so the legs
can get to the bearing well. There was a thread about two weeks ago
asking about a coker frame but no one had any. So it doesnt look good
for getting a frame or a airfoil. I guess not many people will be
upgrading their cokers anytime too soon.

GB4 makes a really nice Coker frame that will fit the Unicycle.com super
wide hub. The frames a custom built to your specifications. Height,
color, brakes or not.

Here's the link. http://www.gb4mfg.com/36touring.html

Unicycle.com's Airfoil wheelset (When available) is being built with
the super wide hub.
