Re: Imagine riding a unicycle with these cranks

[steveyo]

There are a pair of these "powercranks" on eBay right now - 'here'
(http://tinyurl.com/r963d).

I found this old thread to resurrect instead of starting a new one.
They're quite pricey, but they'd be an interesting experiment for a
unicycle. I think it would be like a coaster hub, more or less, but
with adjustable length.

They are not square taper (see the 'photo' (http://tinyurl.com/z6ent) on
the ebay page). I don't know of a uni hub that will fit them.

sounds interesting for training on a bike. i'd like to try them on a
unicycle, but i doubt it'd be very useful.
