If you ask nicely maybe they could make you a custom 36" version of the Schlumpf Geared Unicycle.

Dave Stockton and I made a geared Coker (I think the first) with one of my hubs for Kris Holm. It's being passed around among several riders until Kris has room for it in his new digs. I believe Florian makes a frame for a 36" to fit his hubs. Mike Scalisi owns a geared Coker made from one of my hubs that Steve Howard modified. Pete Perron has made a few renditions of his jackshaft design in gear ratios of (approximately) 1.2, 1.6, and 1.9. Pete's design is the most flexible, I believe, in that there are many gear ratios that may be chosen from. His limitation is that it is fixed gear and the cogs must be changed to alter the ratio so no shifting during a ride. Pete's design may be available through Dave Stockton's Live Wire Unicycles.

Alright, so you have to change the gears manually ? so When you want to change gears you have to stop? corect me if I am wrong.. Also.. no price is up on the website anyone got an idea of how much it should be ?

I wrote about it here (if anyone cares to read a very mediocre rider's experiences with a geared Coker). maxcarriere, Greg's Coker is a one-speed (fast). You don't shift it. I don't know anything about other geared Cokers, though. |

I don't know if U-Turn has had any interest in the geared Outta Phaze yet. Costs would likely include the design time necessary to get it designed and then there's custom machining that needs to be done to make the hub. U-Turn has the rights to the basic design but I don't know if he has a specific design already engineered. If you do ask him, make sure you're sitting down and ready for a wallop. At worst then you'll end up pleasantly surprised if it comes in under your expectations. ![]() A very cool unicycle though. I predict that an Outta Phaze will ultimately end up owning the hour record and the 100 mile record. Course with the gearing ratio possibilities with the Outta Phaze design you could make it with a 29er wheel rather than the Coker wheel. Just gear it up more. You'll end up with a lighter wheel. Might be better that way for speed and endurance records.

You can get schlumpf geared 36ers, loosemoose has one. Basically you buy the hub cranks and frame from schlumpf, then buy a rim, spokes, tyre, seat etc. and stick the lot together. Expect to pay in excess of £1k ($2k) for it though. I've ridden it quite a lot and it's a good setup, albeit tricky to change gears at speed.

The two styles of geared unicycles we currently have are the Schlumpf style hub and the Outta Phaze style jackshaft gearing. I was talking about the Outta Phaze style that LiveWire Unicycles (U-Turn) can make. Of course U-Turn could also make a geared Coker using the Schlumpf hub too. Some info on the Outta Phaze design are here: http://www.livewireunicycles.com/Outta%20Phaze.htm
