Re: home made geared uni


The pic's and story really show a lot. I think you are a bumbling garage
hack LOL.:) But you already know that. It looks like you are having
fun. Thank you for blessing the forum with your stuff. Welcome, Danger
dog, sir.:)

You are quite the bodger though. I find it odd that anyone would
compare you to the spam Dakorman's whatever miracle drive bull. I
accord you great respect as a determined fabricator. Not that I am
impressed really, just that it's great to see someone learning and
sharing so much, and as I am sure UNisk8tor and others think as they
read my crap, your crap is so much more then anything I have ever
offered. Not that I am calling your crap.....crap. Rather, it is very
obvious to astute observers that you are on to something. I see in your
future great unicycles, you are both talented and determined. Your
future constructions shall make this present piece of art seem like one
of Picasso's napkin sketches.

Many of us have plans of the great guni, yet most are like me,
building nothing, instead of like you. A man of action.:cool:

Still, it is a crap design, the jackshaft arrangement. It works, but no
matter how well you align it, even with perfect fabrication, two chains
in series has double the mechanical friction of a single set of chain
and sprocket.

My idea for a better design, (shared by many, not really mine) would be
to have a chain and sprocket set for each side of the wheel. I think
that would be the ultimate design, because of lower drive train
friction.

Anyway, thank you for the effort you have put forth, and your cool
pictures.I hope you keep visiting the forum. You are a real uni making
artist.:)
