MOUNTAIN UNICYCLING

Crazy but not stupid!

No that's not me, It's Kris Holm, the world Mountain Unicycle Champion from Vancouver and his riding level is in my dreams!

 

 

Bored of mountain running or mountain biking? Try the same trails on a Unicycle!

 

Tools Of The Trade:

Norco Trials Uni
20" wheel. 150mm tapered cranks, Miyata seat. I learned the basics on it. It's good for trials (tricks etc) but wont stand a big drop.

The Pig as it's know is a lot better on mountain trails than the 20". 170mm splined cranks, Velo seat, Gazz tire.
The extra wheel size and the big tundra tire make a lot of difference riding over roots and rocks. The ground clearance for the pedals made the biggest impact for me. It's even got a Magura hydraulic brake, which is great for long down hill runs.
I really wanted a Wilder 6160 which has a super light frame but the cost was to high. Also I wanted to play with the brake and there are no brake bosses.

Pig has a high wow factor!
