Hi everyone,
I am a unicycle rider from way back in the 70's. I have an old Schwinn 24 inch. I have this idea for a fat tire unicycle using a sport bike rear tire and wheel. Has anyone seen anything like this? Would just be for crusin around the neighborhood and lookin cool. Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated. Steve

I am also a uni-rider from way back...here I am in the mid '60s! I too had a classic Chicago Scwhinn 24" with the blade forks (still have it!) and before I bought my first real mountain uni i also put a wider tire on it to try offroad. But they are way heavy and bulky, and not really the greatest quality.

At least the really old ones. I'd get something modern, and torker makes a decent 24. Two models; the LX which is mid-level but decent quality, and their best is the DX. Very strong and isis type hub and cranks.

Here's what I use today: YouTube - Extreme Unicycling: "It's all downhill from here!"

My idea is to use a motor cycle rear tire from a sport bike. Watching a couple now on Ebay. I know it will have some weight to it, but who cares! I think it will be very different and sure will give me a work out which I need. I think the tire will be somewhere around 7 or 8 inch wide. Just some crazy thoughts.
