Remember the story of stone soup? This ended up being exactly that.

My old trials unicycle needed a tyre change and I thought I’d change the frame on that as well so I bought a tyre and a new frame. After changing the tyre, I found that I didn’t have a clamp for the frame so I had to look around for a double-bolt one which shops don’t stock. Meanwhile, the cranks on my old uni started to break and I couldn’t ride it anymore.

So I bought a new hubset and I figured since I had to build a wheel, I might as well get the rim changed. And I bought a rim. Of course, as things go, I then realise the tyre I bought to begin with didn’t fit the new rim. So I had to get a new tyre. And after getting the rim painted, I realised next that my hub isn’t the same specs as my rim.

After figuring everything out, I now have a new unicycle and hey, it’s no longer a trials unicycle.

Well, at least it’s got black scaredy unicorns running all around.
