Fluffinator,
Sorry about the delay. I don’t spend much leisure time in
front of the computer these days, due to the back injury
that is aggravated by too much sitting, or too much
standing, or too much of anything that provides a chance for
the back to stiffen up. Luckily, unibiking is the best thing
for it since I’m leaning forward with much of my weight
being supported by my arms, my lower back is in constant
motion to control the balance, and my legs are constantly
moving. This doesn’t leave much time for things to stiffen
up. A series of spinal injections are only a few days away,
followed by possible back surgery.
If you haven’t found the requested building tips by now,
take a look at this thread. 'How to Turn an Artistic Bike'
(tinyurl.com2hnc3Open ↗) It explains much of the details
of my favorite pedal powered toy.
You might also benefit from some of the threads concerning
this contraption. A username search for ‘unibiker’ should
provide some additional rambling about the project. Please
consider the danger involved in cutting the forks off.
Dismounts can be painful! It’s just as much fun to ride
with the front wheel in place if it’s not windy, and it’s
much safer.
Good luck.
