Knowing the Parts of a Unicycle

Video Transcript

Okay, and we're back. I'm going to teach you the different parts of the unicycle so that you know when you get your first unicycle, what all this is. Okay, it's very basic. It's just like a bicycle except half of a bike here. Okay, you have your seat right here that you're going to be sitting on, right? This on the front is a handle. Okay, now this is going to be good to stable yourself as you get on top of the unicycle to adjust yourself however you need to be to get your balance. Okay, then you have the post right here. Now the post is very important because if this is not tightened up, the seat's going to fall right into the wheel and you're going to have a hard time, alright. Right here we have an allen wrench bolts. You're going to have to loosen those up and you're going to have to adjust this to your certain height depending on your height. I'm six-two, so I have to have it quit a ways up for me to get my feet farther away from the petals here. Okay, then we come down right here and we have a pneumatic tire. Make sure your tire is always inflated, unless you're going to be doing off-roading unicycling, then you're going to want it a little bit under inflated. Just like off-roading on a car. Your pneumatic tire, you can change pressure just by letting air in or out it. Okay, then the rest of the wheel right here and the spokes. These differ in a lot of different unicycles. I started out on a lot smaller tire right here. This one is a lot smaller tire. These are much harder to learn how to ride. I definitely recommend getting a bigger tire to start out with, because you're going to be doing a lot less work. It's going to be a lot easier with the bigger tire because the rotations that your foot are doing are going to be a lot smaller. Then we have our petals right here. Now let me show you this next step.
