For touring or commuting on a 36, would YOU recommend getting a Schlumpf hub? In other words, if it was YOU, would you get one for your 36?

[ttt8699]

@oofooh Well, I ride my 36er regularly, and have only a regular, non-geared hub. I don't have any interest in adding a shlumpf to that, and going any faster, lol.

That's so awesome man. I gotta have one. Once switched to high gear it's like whooosh!!! yer flying!!!

Nice to see a musicless video for a change :) And the kh-shlumpf hub with you on top is obviously always a pleasure to watch :)

Again....I got Schlumpf envy! Zooming Feller...

[ttt8699]

@shugemery I'm going to start riding me good 'ol fat-tired 24 again! I want to do some high flyin' stuff while I still can...but I don't know. haven't tried it in a while. Just can't do that stuff on the GMuni, which keeps me pretty much land-locked! :^)

One person is un-balanced! :)

37, thats it? ive been unicycling in january while its snowing cats and dogs, it was a bit cold ill admit.

[t4200blaster]

thanks and do you know what a good tire pressure is for trial unicycling?

[ttt8699]

@t4200blaster Really depends on rider weight, type of tire and other factors. In general, you want to have anough psi so the tire won't bottom out on the rim when you hop or do drops, and not so much that the tire won't compress. I go by feel and never look at my psi. It's like shoes-if they fit, that's all that matters. :)

[ttt8699]

@t4200blaster A lot! The hub alone, uninstalled, is about $1.750. The you need a rim, spokes and all the rest and a good wheel builder who KNOWS how to lace up a schlumpf hub.

[ttt8699]

@joejumps4fun haha yeah, and I could have gone faster, but I was a scared! :=0
