Bicycle hooks work much better than a stand assuming you can drill in to the walls. The standard steel uni stands are pretty bad btw.

Don't make a new thread!! You have a perfectly good one right here, with the right subject line and everything!

I was never into stands. I started hanging my unicycles on hooks as soon as I had 5 or so. It gets them out of the way.

I usually just kinda let mine lay on the floor or against the wall. I have a stand, but never quite figured out how to use it.

So how's 7th grade treating you, QCA?



That's cool that you made a stand, narnia12. It's probably better than something I could do.

my wheel won't hang from a normal hook very well, I have a super sized megaduty bikehook. Its kinda cool, it holds the wheel quite nicely.
