We’ll be holding the 1 November sessions at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Big thanks to Hong Wei for securing a location. He’s President of the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Unicycling Club so if you’re in NP and am interested to ditch that training wheel, turn up and look for him.
The 31 Oct sessions will be held at the fenced up Street Soccer Court behind Blk 51 New Upper Changi Road. It’s right beside Blk 55 if you need another reference. Map here
Registration for the event is still open. Drop us an email with your preferred session, your height, contact number and if you own a unicycle and we’ll get back to you.
See you all soon!

Team-Uni is looking at organizing a a FREE beginners unicycle session sometime towards the end of this month (that’s Oct) or early next. Details are not confirmed yet but we ‘d like to get a feel of attendance. If we do have such a session, will you be interested? It would be great if you could take some time to answer
the following as well -
Location Preference? North/South/East/West/Central
Do you own a unicycle?
Time/Day Preference? Weekday Evenings / Weekend Mornings (and which days)
All will be welcome – we’ve got some unicycles around if you haven’t got one. Bring your friends, kids and your kids’ friends along. Preferably tell me the age groups to expect so I can bring down appropriate unicycles. Please do pass the message down to any friends who’d be interested. The session’s currently first-come-first-serve since we can only cater to that many people in one location. However we might have a series of location-specific sessions if there’s a demand.
To sign up or if you’ve any additional questions, direct them to onewheeler[at]team-uni.com
Cross Frame Upgrades

This year’s Cross unicycles have undergone a frame upgrade.
<– Old frame
The new frame comes with a flat crown which reduces the likelihood of your hitting the inside of your knees onto them and also comes with brake mounts if you decide to move into serious downhill riding. They also feel lighter too which has to be a good thing. While you’ll probably not hit your knees at all after the initial week or two of riding, the selling point for me really, is that the setup looks more aesthetically-pleasing now and dare I say more classy than the previous frame.
Personally, what I like most are the new brake mounts. It saves the hassle of fixing them separately.

The ride was fun, the photos… not so. We took off along Orchard Road, lit lanterns in hand. No lanterns burnt in a spectacular blaze in the process.
Next year, I’ll prepare a better camera lens.
How Do Your Unicycles Look Like?

Ever wondered how your unicycles look in their package?
These are boxes of Profi and Cross unicycles. The huge one at the back is a 29″ Cross.
Here’s the empty box of a Luxus.
And out of the box…
Here’s a Profi frame with my current trials wheelset. The tire clearance is amazing.

Should we be doing custom builds in the future?
