UniBC

What will this peice of "matal" catch on? How do you go aobut attatching
cranks to a rear hub? No splines to line up the cranks, all you could
do is eyeball it and tighten the Qr.

Max, Learn to spell.

First off, who wants to seat drag down a hill?

Second, why not just learn to glide?

Third, Why would someone put eb plates on something that has cranks and
pedals?

Fourth, Why would I say something is a bad idea just because I didn't
think about it?

Personally, I think the concept of effortless downhill riding and the
capability to go up hills faster than walking is cool, but there is no
need to fill the forums with threads every time you have a new idea.

I'm almost 15, Plus, having someone drive me somewhere is better than
seat-drag-29'er-coasting to my destination.

Ok, firstly. Sorry to totally thread jack and take this completly off
topic, but it has to be said!

I have been a member of the forums for a while now and found most
people polite, pleasent and really friendly to talk to. With the
exception of Evan. When I used to see posts of his, I would bite my
tounge(or fingers?) and not mention anything. Then it got to the point
where, I completly ignored any posts or threads by him, thinking, he's
14 and will probably grow out of putting people down soon.

Your still doing it! It annoys me how you constantly rubbish peoples
ideas and speak coldly to people. Recently I noticed Mike (Swarbrim)
got annoyed with you aswell. I love the fact that unicyclists are such
friendly, warm hearted people and am proud to be part of the community,
but I wish you would grow up a bit and stop with the useless posts!
Just because someone has a different opinion to you doesn't mean you
have to be nasty or rude to them.

Mayby you just really are like that, in which case, please try to think
about others before you post, and the forums might be a nicer place!

You will probably write some smart-ass comment back, but I wouldn't
bother if I were you, I won't read it!

Sorry to lower the tone for everyone else, but that has been simmering
away for weeks now!

Back on topic:

I have been thinking about making a coasting uni for a while, I just
don't have the time! I would love to have a go on one though!

Rock on!

no offence or anything, but i agree with Edd.

and back on topic:

it seems like a totally stupid, pointless idea to me, but if i had the
time i would try to make one and try to ride it for fun. good luck with
it!

oh yeah and how would i go about making a 60" uni?

What, riding a one wheeled bike is stupid? *boggle*

Seriously Evan, you've come up with some pretty wacky inventions
yourself over time. We all ride crazy machines and do crazy things on
them, what's wrong with experimenting?

Quoted message said:

No its not. A car is.

Depends what you're comparing it to, really, doesn't it? Compared to a
normal uni, being able to coast down hills would be pretty nice. Using
your feet is a more practical way of jumping on and off picnic tables,
but it never seems to feature much in trials competitions ;-)

As far as I can tell you're a really talented rider / builder and all -
I love your BC vids, for instance - they helped persuade me to buy a BC
in the first place. I used to think you were pretty cool, but having
seen you be mean to so many people I'm not so sure anymore.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?

Another random idea: if you stuck a little caster wheel on your seatpost
/ frame somewhere, when you drop the seat you can have it run along the
ground (on the wheel) rather than having to hold it off the ground with
something. This will also mean that if you brake, the braking force
will be transferred to the ground, so that you don't have to compensate
by balancing.

You'd want a handheld brake trigger for this, obviously.

Cheers,
Mark

let me explain better. on one crank(the one you seat drop with) would be
afolding up peice of metal the flips out to catch the seat when you
drop it, so that it doesn't hit the ground. there would be no BC
plates, just when yous top pedalling it costs. there would be a brake
so that hen you overbalance backwards you can put it on to lift you
back up. You could pedal forward to gain speed/ correct your balance.

what's bad about it?other than being a bit hard to ride.

Though some might not think this is possible, but, *gasp*, a nice post
by evan byrne....

Cool idea miles, but wont the peice of tubing attatched to the crank,
inhibit it tfrom going around when you are pedaling? Have you thought
about using a disengaging hub for coasting? Verses the rear bike hub?
That way you could ride it around as a normal uni, forward and
backward, then when you get up to speed, pull a shifter lever, and your
coasting like a BC. I think that would be something cool to build.
Also, If you ever want to put one of these ideas into something real, i
can help you build/make it, I have acess to metal, welders, Milling
machines and lathes.

yea, the thing on the crank would have a hinge so that you could flick
the bar with your foot and it would pop out to catch the frame. I
didn't know about dissengaging hubs, are they expensive?

lathes are awesome😎

after I actually get a BC I might take you up on you offer Evan.

Disengaging hubs dont really exist. It would be something you'd have to
make, Pretty much you want a strong unicycle hub, with a locking pin,
or some sort of clutch to engage and disengage when you want.

I don't like that idea.

You guys are talking about making a coasting uni with a roller on the
seat to ride it in a seat drag. So far you have reinvented the
scooter...I am just waiting for the suggestion to put on some handle
bars.
