What Size do i need ? What color ?
Our unicycles are available
in many sizes and colors. To order the right unicycle size for you, simply measure your
inseam (the distance from the floor to crotch, with shoes on), and
use this information as a guide.
If your inseam is 21 inches, consider ordering a 16-inch unicycle;
If your inseam is 23 inches, consider ordering an 18-inch unicycle;
If your inseam is 24 inches, consider ordering a 20-inch unicycle;
If your inseam is 30 inches, consider ordering a 24-inch unicycle;
If your inseam is 33 inches, consider ordering a 26-inch or larger
unicycle.

Circus Unicycles
The most popular size for
performers is the 20-inch unicycle. The smaller tire is easy to
control, yet large enough to support the torque required for tricks.
Mountain Unicycles
(Muni)
To traditional unicylists, this
is a curious sport. At popular events around the world, one can
see large numbers of otherwise sensible adults riding one wheel
up and down steep, unpaved and uneven hills. Their appetite for
adventure may be considered a bit extreme, but we applaud their
fortitude.
The general concensus among muni riders is, the 26-inch unicycle
is best all-around performer. If you're into climbing, order your
muni with longer cranks (5-1/2-inch or 6 inch).
Unicycling
for Fitness
For round-the-town riding, we recommend the largest size you can
comforably mount. We prefer the 26-inch or larger unicycle. If you
live in an area with steep hills, consider ordering your uni with
longer cranks (5-1/2 to 6-inches).
We suggest that you start your fitness riding in small increments.
If you're a new rider or haven't ridden in awhile, keep your distance
to about a half-mile for your first week. You'll experience some
saddle-soreness at first, but that'll ease up. Expand your distance
about a half-mile each week. Make it fun!

Tips:
Saddle Soreness: One
popular way to reduce saddle soreness: remove the foam padding from
inside your unicycle seat and replace it with a 12-inch tire tube
(available from Unicycle.com, of course!). Pump up the tube to your
satisfaction!
