You're using 35% as the average grade. It's not, it's the peak grade.


By definition, the grade at the peak would be zero. ;)

Fixing wonky brake surface on steel rim

Honestly with that rim, it's not worth the trouble.

However, you have the least of the evils. A projecting rim joint is
much worse than a narrowing one.

Try readjusting your brake pads. Also, you...

Pittsburgh to DC - Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal

Looks like you're doing great!

6x8 is pretty small if there is wind and rain, but perhaps that's one

Tarp shelters for unicycle touring

If you had a small side brace, you could use your wheel/uni for a
support to create a cone shape. For a tarp, the lower the pitch the
better rain protection.

It will take a little bit to get...

Coker Radius, tire width and brake question

The best way is to build your wheel first, then take measurements

Sounds like a great idea, Pete. It seems to me that you'd have to
