pressures for traction over loose surfaces and to dampen
out the jolts and jars of Muni riding. Some models can
be equipped with a brake. Of late, there are even differ-
ent types of Muni! Sub-disciplines may have their own
types of equipment adapted to the conditions they en-
counter. Downhill (24” wheel) and long distance, trips
(29” and 27,5” wheel) are two good examples of this.
Trials and Flatland Unicycles
These are very similar in design to Munis. They are never
equipped with brakes or handlebars, they have 19”
or 20” wheels, they can have forks with a flat crown,
useful for certain tricks, and occasionally tyres with a less
knobbly tread.
Downhill (24”), Flat & Trials (19”), long distance (29”
and 36”) and all of them have some special equipment
adapted to their kind of practice.
Classic unicycle
The classic unicycle usually has a 20“ wheel. Better
quality ones have a 20“x1.95“ tire.
Those unicycles are pretty versatile. Some people play
hockey or basketball on them, other people do
Freestyle-tricks on them. The main difference between
a bad and a good unicycle lays in the materials they are
made from.
