The Nimbus Nightfox is specially designed so it can be used by short people, but we never envisaged that it would be ridden by a 6 year old. Seeing Min Jo Kim ride the massive 36" unicycle with ease is amazing.
The UK's national road race takes place in Horwich each year. The event is hosted by the Horwich cycle event and organised by Julien Page.

Here at Unicycle.com we are the unicycle specialists, so of course we support the building and maintenance of unicycle. We have built in to our website a tool that allows you to work out the length of the spokes you need to build your unicycle or penny farthing.
The spoke calculator has built in a drop down menu to allow you to select the hub and rims. Should you wish to work out a spoke length for a rim or hub that is not on the drop down menu you can just type in the figures.
Within the spoke calculator is a mini FAQ on how to measure spokes, hubs and rims.
