New Hour Record by Jan Logemann - 27.564km

[redwelly]

I haven't heard this on r.s.u so far, so I thought I'd flag it up:

Jan Logemann has set a new One Hour World Record of *27.564km* (17.127
miles), riding a Schlumpf 36".

Congratulations Jan!

(Does anyone have any more info?)

very windy.

Great job, I was wondering who the first person with a schlumpf 36 was
going to be to tackle this record. What was the previous record again?

previous was I think 27.18km

http://eenwiel.nl/index.php?menuid=59&pageid=162

That's jolly fast. Although still less fast than the marathon record
which is 28.9 something if I got my sums right? I wonder if Chuck is
having a go at it any time.

Hello,

here are two pictures where you can see the nice weather. :)
Knut Steffens the worldrekord holder in track coasting rode with me.
He rode a 36" uni with 90mm cranks.
At the end he was 3 rounds behind me. But the first pass was after
35min.

Nadine Wegner rode with me, too. She had a 28" geared uni ( 1:2,5 ).
She rode 23,659km. That's the rekord for females now.

That's awesome, well done Jan! 27+ kph around the corners of an
athletics track must be pretty scary!

Wow, that's pretty impressive to go at those speeds in that weather, on
what looks like quite a tight running track, and it's really cool that
you had friends racing you too.

Did you find the corners slowing you down much?

Congratulations! You had to pick a day that was worse than the Time
Trial at RTL, eh? Well, Siafrirede beat me to it, but it brings a song
to mind..... :D

Still, I can't imagine how much faster must be possible on a larger or
straighter course.

I think the corners were no big problem for the speed.
At the last 20min. my back hurts, because you have always the same
position.
And the wind was very hart so I couldn't sit with a streghted back. (do
you understand what I mean?)

I think, if the weather is better I can manage 28-29km.

Congratulations to Jan for owning the world record now. You are a true
German Speeder, especially with the bad weather.

And congratulations for Nadine for setting the female world record.

I remember Nadine's interesting gearing design, I talked to her and
took pictures of the gear system during Unicon. A design like the
Schlumpf hub has a theoretical maximum gear ratio approaching 2:1. In
Nadine's unicycle the gearing system is not built into a hub, and hence
the ring can be fixed to the frame. Therefore the ratio can
theoretically approach 3:1. During Unicon she had a 29" tyre on it,
making the virtual wheel diameter something like 72 inches!

Nice one Jan.

It is an exciting time for Unicycling just now thanks to people like
you using the new technology to the maximum.

I can't imagine riding at those speeds at all, never mind for an hour.
Do you have any plans for another run if you feel you could go faster?

Innes
