Hi people,
You guys must get these questions all the time, so thanks for taking the
time to read this.
I am new to unicycling. I am looking at buying my first unicycle
(standard introduction...).
I live in Australia, so the range here is limited. I went to a bicyce
show today, and got a product list from the people from unicycle.com.
I want to do be able to do this with my unicycle:
- Be comfortable
- Ride moderate distances (and depending on how I go, longer
distances)
- Some basic tricks (ride backwards, one foot pedalling, and thats about
all)
I do not want to do this:
- Treat my unicycle like a pogo stick (ie. jump on and off things)
- Ride it off road
- Juggle (I can barely juggle off the unicycle)
Now, I test rode a 24" Nimbus 2 today and it was so comfy and smooth.
For an extra $35 (AUS dollars) I can buy the 29" version. Question I
have, what size should I go for? I am slightly above average height
(184cm, of 6ft something in imperial).
I would probably favour commuting over tricks. Are tricks at all
possible with a 29" wheel?
Thanks for your help
Ross
