Good video! I've been also riding Sapim DB Spokes for some time, but was feeling like the standard were lasting longer in the long run. Tubolito's got way quicker flats for me and the landing on drops felt weird, maybe a good option for flat riding with a lot of flip tricks. Flips got way quicker with them, but wouldn’t have payed money for them. For a rim in street riding I'd always recommend a welded one. The Exceed Carbon Saddle was feeling super uncomfortable with seat in landings, so I enjoy the banana shape of the Railigion base way more. Just a few things I wanted to add to a super informative video :)
Dude thanks. I like comments like these because it shows people’s different preferences in riding. Super interesting to hear you rode both the tubolito and Spain DB spokes. I’ve found with the spokes so far that they come loose waaay quicker but the spokes themselves have not broken or snapped at all. So far so good. And for me the tubolito landings do feel different and I definitely had to get use to it. But for me I’ve only flatted once and it was a full speed case on a stair trying to flip up it with a slightly deflated tire. Besides that I haven’t flatted the tubes at all.
I/m rideing two 20" one is 36 mm wide rim with standard tube and speedball tire, another is 42 mm wide rim, tubolito and primo tire. First one feels a lot more poppy and soft while jumping or landing. Wider rim prewents tire from bendind one side, but with tubolito and soft tire it feels like there is tiny spot with propper preassure which allows some compression and keeps tube safe. tubolito can catch a snake bite with little low preassure and skatchy landing from a curb.
Cool video I really like to talk about setups. One thing that I did for my 20inch I just bought a salt plus (bmx) rim because back in Chile I couldn't find any "unicycle rim" but honestly I love my salt plus mesa (rim). By the way I ride with nimbus 114m cranks and now I cannot longer ride with 138mm cranks on my 20inch it is just so much faster and smoother with shorter cranks. Great video!
Thanks Fabi :) That's awesome to hear! Yeah I personally love the bmx/20" rims for unicycling. I think they will have a good future in the sport of unicycling and if I ever create my own brand *wink wink* I would have a fleet of 20's. The shorter cranks are great for flow. They can be harder to land on, but they are just so smooth to ride on
@@jacksebbenunicyclistHaving an own brand sounds amazing, I have a friend in China who has his own brand too it's named Teliang I got my long neck frame from him. And yeah I have a year living in Madison, Wisconsin now but I'm originally from Chile.
I feel like there's more titanium parts in China than any other place. Kingkong and I both use a Ti frame, seat post, hub, and clamp lol. And I can't wait to try the titanium "saddle" that he just manufactured.
Whaaat that sounds whacky!? Titanium saddle!? wtf I would love an all Ti set up. The only problem is that it is expensive and absorbs impacts a lot better :p The Steel frame I've found to be super responsive and smoother in terms of riding - but of course you sacrifice weight. I also use to have a Ti frame for my 22" that I had custom built in China but when it broke I had no one to repair it for cheap enough so I had to sadly scrap it 😭Someday I might venture back to Ti.
@@jacksebbenunicyclist For sure to ask me when you wanna try some other Ti stuff, it's much easier to manufacture over in China. I will send you a pic of the Ti saddle when I have it haha
@@jacksebbenunicyclist He recently got back in contact actually, has built up a 20" street une and starting riding a little again. I'll DM you some Pics of his machine as it looks great ☺️
watching the crank part made me sad because my 110 moments are really creaky rn from ware :'(, I am really glad you did the video tho because I was wondering what your frame was.
@@jacksebbenunicyclist do you think this could lead to damaging the hub? I’m. Not content with the amount of life I got out of mine and really wanna see if I can make them wear down slower
@@nathannavarro873 I don't think the hub will be too effected, although it definitely will damage the hub in some way. Cranks might be a little looser in the future maybe?
I've been using double butted spokes for years. Definitely stronger. If you're running a hub with smaller flanges it helps to use brass washers to avoid breaking spokes at the bends.
I actually forgot to mention in this video - but I do run spoke washers on the rim, which I do believe has also saved a lot of my spokes too. I've considered upgrading to a hub like the Exceed hub but those small flanges and the occasional horror stories of wheel taco-ing scares me !
@@jacksebbenunicyclist Use the washers on the hub end. Saves spokes breaking that way. All the UK bois run Exceed Ti hubs like this, Mike Taylor, Simon Berry, Cam Peacock. No tacos here.
Sounds like a good unicycle to me! It'll be good for street, flat and trials. I would personally get a square frame instead of a round one like the gravity because then you won't be able to learn coasting tricks. But that's just a personal preference. If you don't care for those tricks then the gravity round frame will be good for you and it will also save your shins and knees from bashing off those sharp corners!
I thought it will be 22" rim. from mine experience 20" rim with possibly any tire will fits standard unicycle frame. have you beed rideing actual 22" rim? What it was like and why you're no on 20"?
Right now I'm on 20" just using the 22" frame on it. I just ride the frame because I love the look hehe. 22" I found to be a really fun unicycle to use for bigger street.
Top unicycle cost like a super budget videocard these days, lol. Also about spokes: usually I use the cheapest stainless steel spokes that are available here. 60 pieces cost just a bit more than $2. Loooooool Never had any issues with them. And what the weight of your uni?
Very informative vid. Question: What other parts account for the sweet, sweet Rotational Weight? Tire, tube , spokes, hub What about cranks and pedals?
Thanks Billy! I actually plan on getting to these in a future video on how to save rotational weight ^^ For tires there are multiple ways you can save weight, one being having foldables over wire bead tires (although this comes with down sides too). Investing in a quality double or triple butted spoke is another way, buying a tubolito tube, and light weight hubs can all help in this. These all come with there own pros and cons, but I will get to those specifics later. It's a really in depth topic! But these are some things you can definitely look into if you're interested.
You can’t go wrong with any BMX branded pedals. Just make sure you get plastic or something similar. Never get metal pedals if you’re learning tricks unless you want to do trials maybe. Hope this helps!

DoubleButted spoke haha
frame is a piece of art
110mm cranks baybeeee short cranks is the way to go. Long cranks make me feel like im stomping around to accordian music or something
+1
Amen duuuude. Short cranks all the way! I find long cranks feel a little more clunky and hurt on impacts more.
Thanks for another great video Jack
Glad to have delivered and glad you enjoyed guys 😁
really enjoyed this video. love to see the setups
Thank you Mr.Stevens .
I actually ride with Jakob, it's so cool to see his stuff in "the wild".
Jakob is a cool guy! You live near him?
His frames are truly beautiful
Sick setup dude would love a go of the beast, that flansberrium frame is gorgeous 😍 honestly sick video as always bro
Thanks as always Lewis :) Hopefully someday we can sesh eachother's unis!

Didn't talk about the bearing clamps, that's a dislike from me.

... and nothing about the pedals either.

Great video. Im gonna buy 19" impact gravity unicycle. Do you think thats good unicycle?
for tiral and street one of the best out there. Frame shape is cool and i love it but it makes some trick's harder.

What would you recommend for pedals?
You can’t go wrong with any BMX branded pedals. Just make sure you get plastic or something similar. Never get metal pedals if you’re learning tricks unless you want to do trials maybe. Hope this helps!
@@jacksebbenunicyclist ok but with pins or with grip tape ,the plastic ones will be good for street?
This very good me likey
Glad you likey
hehe
I'm curious...how much does your unicycle weigh? The way you handle it makes it look extremely lightweight.
This set up was what I would call normal weight. The frame was heavy, but the wheel was fairly average in weight.
Well *MY* 26" Nimbus Oregon cost *$1,200* Cad... ;)
Yeah those bigger wheel set-ups start to get costly!
Yeah those bigger wheel set-ups start to get costly!
Jack you didn't mention pedals did you? Or else my alzheimer is getting worse ;-)
You are right, I did not mention pedals. I break pedals so often that I just didn't mention them. I usually have mix-matched pedals on all the time :p
