Santa often needs a little help around this time of year, so we offer you advice on when we need to get orders in to get them delivered before Christmas. Our shopping cart does not let you buy unless the item is actually in our warehouse, so we have better and more reliable last shipping day that most companies.

We are proud to announce the release of a major new update to the KH range of products.

Kris has introduced a new hub and brake format for the 2023 season.  Gone is the Spirit (and moment) cranks with their external disc and ISIS interface.  In comes a splined interface with a more traditional internal disc brake with the range name of "Boundary".

Boundary cranks are the latest offering from Kris Holm to enable the highest possible strength to weight ratio and pedal performance in a unicycle hub.

Boundary cranks are constructed from tough, stiff 7050 alloy for all types of riding, Boundary Cranks use the Q-Axle micro-spline standard for maximum strength and stiffness.  The Q-axle micro spine is parallel (not tapered) and secures with pinch-bolts on the crank.  This makes it easy to install and remove, without the wear and tear of a tapered spline interface.   Boundary cranks are angled outwards by 8 mm (Q-factor), which maintains a slim profile with just enough clearance to avoid bruised ankle bones.  For geared, KH/Schlumpf hub riders, the crank shape is configured to enable easy shifting and avoid accidental shifts. The Boundary crank comes with two pedal hole options to suit different riding conditions and rider preferences. Compatible with Q-Axle hubs including the Kris Holm Boundary hub. 

Available lengths: 110/127 mm (373 g), 117/137 mm (414 g), 127/150 mm (444 g)

 

The Boundary hub uses the Q-Axle micro spine, which has a larger (24mm) diameter compared to the ISIS-typical 22mm, enabling high strength at 33% lower weight than the KH Spirit hub. Cranks are fixed by tightening two bolts on the crank, which makes them easy to install and remove without wear-and-tear on the splines. Available in disc-mount and standard models, with a 42 mm bearing and 100-mm bearing-bearing spacing.

This update has been long awaited and other than the new hub and cranks, the new range will be familiar to everyone with it's emphasis on quality and riding experience. The only other things of note is that the unicycles come fitted with 203 rotors as standard and that the 36" in mainland Europe will be supplied with the King George tyre and a QuAx rim rather than the Dominator 2.

 

On the Saturday the 28th of October there will be one of the biggest hockey tournaments in the UK taking place. This will be a hosted by the Cardiff Unicycle Hockey Club at the City House of Sport in Cardiff.

We are closing our store in Russia due to the current on going situation. We hope this will only be a temporary.

This video is an explanation from Roger on how he took his 50" race Penny Farthing to the Swedish 3 day event in Lund by aeroplane. The video shows the packing process and explains the process when you arrive at the airport with an oversize piece of luggage.

Are you comfortable with mounting your unicycle and riding it forward?
The next step is to try out some of these tricks and skills.
Knowing how to perform some of these will open the door to more advanced tricks and riding.

We are happy to announce that the production for the UDC Penny Farthing has restarted and we are expecting delivery in October 2023. This new batch also comes with some enhancements.

A blog by Julian Page, enjoy!

I thought i would submit a blog celebrating my 26” Oracle Unicycles 10th Birthday, it remains my favourite unicycle to ride. It has completed 1170 miles over 290 rides, mostly in the North West of England. A couple of years ago it had a new hub, as the metal around the holes for two spokes broke free and had a new tyre and bearings. Otherwise it looks after itself.

Juggling a three ball cascade is a fantastic basic skill to learn and one that everyone can do.

Roger has put a video together to help you learn how to juggle. He follows the instructions supplied with the Unicycle.com Juggling ball sets. Some people find juggling easy and others find it hard. Roger is definitely in that second category, but he has been learning for a long time! This does make him an excellent teacher. In the video he gives you a good structure to learn and also highlights many of the common mistakes people make when learning.

Due to the ongoing problems with the Royal Mail International service we have suspended this service on our website for the current time. We hope this is only a temporary. We still offer our premium shipping service DHL Express.
