36" Unicycle Inseam Requirement

feel the light wrote:
I am not sure what the practical lower limit is, but I am sure it is a
lot shorter then 5' tall , or 150 cm.

Besides cutting the seat post down, it is also possible to take a few
inches off the top of the frame.

I don't know why so many sites list inseam requirements. They don't
seem useful at all. Go ahead and buy a 36, unless you are way south
of 5'.




yes I know of a nimbus in the Uk, owned by a couple of different
members of this forum, that was cut down to get people 5 foot tall on
it. It retained the T7 handle, but 125 cranks had to be used to
decrease the inseam requirement.

I'm 5'6" with quite short legs even for my height and I've got a Nimbus
36" that I can ride comfortably with 150 cranks and still leave about
50mm of downward adjustment on the seat post.

All generalisations are dangerous, even this one.

My two cents:
Get a Nimbus 36. Cut down the seat post; if that isn't short enough for
you, cut up to 1.5" off the top of your frame, dremel in a new slot and
drill a new hole (for the seat clamp to pressurize the seat post).

Louise, my girlfriend, is 5'2" and rides a N36 with 150mm cranks. (but
prefers 125 or 140mm).

I don't think that frame is necessary anymore. The n36 works fine.
