The National Unicycle is now in its seventh year, establishing itself at THE unicycle race event of the year. Its inclusive if you can ride –at least the mile laps and free-mount then you can enter. Lets try and increase the numbers this year….

This weeks Deal Of The Week is the 24" Nimbue E-Sport Race unicycle.  For one week only this fantastic unicycle is available for just £270. Thats a saving of £70, but only until the 4th October.



The Nimbus E-Sport race unicycle is at the top of its game with the best unicycle parts and newest technologies. Comes with the latest generation Nimbus one-piece aluminium (90mm wide) hub for optimum race performance and durability. The super stiff Nimbus VCX cranks give the most efficient transfer of power directly to your wheel, meaning all your power goes solely into propelling you forward to victory. The Nimbus aluminium E-Sport frame is narrow enough at the top to minimise catching your knees but still has enough crown to enable a secure foot placement for one-foot riding. With the E-sport frame being 300mm long (from crown to top of seatpost) this puts the seatpost clamp nicely out of the way minimising any discomfort.

The E-Sport Race comes with a 559mm rim and a thin tyre. So, it is designed and optimized to ride on a track. This unicycle conforms to the IUF’s (International Unicycle Federation) Track racing rules and unicycle specifications 2B.2 See below for full details or click here to see IUF rule book document.

What some of our customers said about the 26" Club:

Ed
Well, when I say Great starter uni, what I mean is...Great uni if you want to add a 26'' to your collection but not sure and/or can't afford a nimbus. I've had mine over a year now. I ordered 127mm cranks with it, and I love it. I've gone for miles on it, and nothing has worked loose or even squeaks.
I said great as a starter as well if you've learnt on a 20'' and want to add another uni to your stable, this is a cheap way of going about it. To see if you can get along with a bigger uni.
It doesn't come with brake mounts but no probs, after a couple of years if you want to do muni you can save up and get a Nimbus.
Yup, very good uni, Love it!
