http://smile.amazon.com/Torker-Unistar-LX-Unicycle-Red/dp/B015S11E96/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1463853666&sr=8-4&keywords=unicycle+20

This is what I got a year ago as my first uni. (Except mine is orange with a cool orange tire.) The reviews were great, and it is great. Especially for a starter, nice quality for a nice price.

I'm 5'10" and it's comfortable. There is room to adjust the seat higher.

However, you might want a slightly bigger tire. I went with the smaller tire because of the price and good reviews for a starter.

For my next unicycle purchase I'll either be getting one with a larger tire for better speed/distance or one with a fat tire to handle rough terrain. Or maybe both! Who knows?

My wife bought me my first unicycle for Christmas two years ago, and I got this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QDFYF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_a0qRDbVM0PACW

It still works, but I upgraded in the summer that year. I was able to learn on it, and it was pretty comfortable.

I upgraded to a nimbus and the quality is amazingly better, but for $60 I think the one listed above held up well.

The way I'm imagining it, you're hanging it from a shelf on the wall. (Or how do you hang it from the edge of the seat?) If I didn't miss anything, you may be looking for a bike stand so it can live in the back of the closet.

If you can't drill (or be bothered to), there's a kind that can be taped to the wall. It may fall a few times before you get the tape right, but that's what unicycles do anyway.

Locally, you're more likely to find the kind of stand that is basically a big hook. Super cheap, easy to find, and likely what the local bike shop uses themselves. You can even find it at a hardware store!

There's also free-standing unicycle stands, which take up floor space instead of wall space, if you can spare that instead.

Everyone always suggest Torker but me and my friends have gone through 3 of them and not one held up to a day of muni i think your better of with one of these 20" 24".

u/juggleaddict · 1 pointr/unicycling

So, kinda crummy, but, as you may have guessed, neither is truly 24". Using a decimal vs a ratio indicates a different ERD (effective rim diameter). A tire like https://www.amazon.com/1-75-White-Wall-Brick-Tread/dp/B003N8HHPM should be a close match to what you had before. If you want something a little thicker, go with something like the Kenda Kniption 24" x 2.3" but make sure it fits the width first. : ) See http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tyre-sizing.html for more details on ERD.

this is what I learned on. Its a solid uni for beginners, and once you learn you can loan it to friends for them to learn.

u/thechevalier · 1 pointr/unicycling

I recently bought one of these. http://amzn.com/B001NGD5HK

It's pretty decent.

u/poorlyexecutedjab · 2 pointsr/unicycling

For touring, I'll wear a helmet, wrist guards, and knee pads as I tend to ride in traffic. I'm confident of my skills, but drivers have proven time and again how reckless they are, especially in my urban environment. When riding in bicycle/pedestrian only areas, I'll typically wear just the wrist guards.

Definitely go for the wrist guards and decent knee pads. I've never come close to hitting my head from an unplanned dismount. For reference, I have the Hillbilly Half Finger Wrist Guards. They're slightly cheaper at Amazon than unicycle.com.

Had a Sun, that was pretty flimsy and the rim broke soon as I started to learn how to hop. I have a 20 in. nimbus and I couldn't be happier! Unless of course I had the bank to buy a Kris Holm uni.

what I had

what I currently have
It also does great off road

If you are serious about buying a unicycle, I would recommend purchasing one that you know you will use in the future, instead of buying a cheap-o and end up growing out of it in 3-6 months and wasting your money. Then again, you may find out that unicycling isn't for you and regret buying an expensive you. It's your call.

u/SimplestSimonSays · 1 pointr/unicycling

I really like my Odyssey pedals. I think these are the ones, but I'm not sure because I got them from Darren Bedford.

I'm curious about the 2.5" tire. Is that a slimmer tire than you had before? I thought the thicker the tire, the slower you generally go. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Also, one other thing you might consider for speed is shorter cranks. If you can find a unicycle club and try one with shorter cranks, you might like it. Be careful of going too short though! Stopping and going up or down hills can get tricky.

That looks like a kids unicycle. 18" is an odd tire size that I think was built specifically for little kids. 20" is where most adult freestyle/jugglers would want to be at.

u/Duckism · 1 pointr/unicycling

seriously?

http://www.amazon.com/Torker-Unistar-DX-Unicycle-Black/dp/B0030L1K8W

you want someone who has no experience on unicycling to spend over 300 bucks when they don't even know if they'd end up liking it or stick to it?

u/thisalone · 2 pointsr/unicycling

24" avenir dlx that I learned on. Soon to be owner of a nimbus 29" road unicycle. Can't wait to ride it. :D (edit: formatting)

u/psdtwk · 1 pointr/unicycling

$5.75 on Amazon. and every hardware store has them for the same price range.

u/zck · 3 pointsr/unicycling

I have a 24" Torker LX. I've only ridden once this year; I should get back into it.

u/unnaturalpenis · 4 pointsr/unicycling

avoid this one, it does this

tho, 26" fucking rocks, I'll never go smaller, except with my 16".
