Is anyone even working on a costing hub/clutch uni? I mean I can totally
understand if they are being developed by someone, and they are hard to
make, ect, ect. But I would personaly spend a great deal of money to
beable to coast down into a half pipe, the possibilities that would open
up for street, and downhill unicyclist, are emense! I'm personaly
suprised geared uni's came before coasting uni's (with a clutch)
Now I know about the coasting uni made by team SWAT I belive it was. But
that is not what we need, we need to beable to ride backwards, forwards,
then pull in a clutch and coast as we please. My personal idea is that
we use a system much like that is in a bicycle, where you can pedal
forwards but not back, but it also has a lock so you can pedal in both
directions, the lock will be permenently "on" and as you please you can
pull it loose with a clutch lever, this way you can still pedal forward
to pick up speed, and then use the uni as a BC wheel, then once you've
slowed enough you can catch your pedals back up with the hub, and if
your not holding the clutch it will automaticly snap back into a locked
position.
This will also create three peices to a uni, that will replace the
single peiced hub, you will have the new hollow hub, axle, and clutch
mechenism, its a pretty simple system to figure out, but I think the
mechenism should be on the side of the hub, and hold onto the axle via
splines, so this way it can be easily replaced if its to break. I dunno
hit me if you think i'm stupid, but yeah KH, Bedford, koxx, Qu-Ax, I
don't care who someone please just atleast make a prototype. I'd be
happy just seeing someone use one.
