coker vs 24 " geared uni
The big question is: Can a 24 " geared uni replace the coker for distance riding?

You'll never use the 24 gear, I think the 29/43,5 is much better.

I think a geared 45" is the way to go. Sure, you have to be a bit tall, but it would be really fast.

I don't care what size/gear ratio my uni is as long as I can hydroplane across water.

The 24 wouldn't roll over things as nicely as the Coker does. I think thats the biggest selling point. At that speed, you don't want to hit a crack in the road and fall on your face.

but dont u guys think, it would be nicer to have a more standart wheel size, like the 26" or 29" with a gear than a coker?
Then you could have real nice tyres and sweet rims and it'd be alot cheaper. |

Such as....... - The ride won't feel the same as it would on a coker. - The schlumpf unicycle would probably cost more to fix then a coker. - The coker looks better and stands out more. - From what i can tell the schlumpf is twice (maybe more) as expensive as a coker. Man, thank goodness for the coker. Hazmat

i'd take a coker of a geared uni anyday.
the ride is much smoother your less likely to get nailed by hitting a crack in the road going up hills - momentum - a lot of inertia in a big wheel. looks much much more impressive.
