Anyone ridden a "Torker" unicycle? I'm looking for a uni for a friend who is a beginner, and will likely switch over to an off-road, mountain uni type later. I like a schwinn, but this one looks like it has cotterless cranks and a quick release height post, and its going for 50 bucks new. Too good to be true?

I've got a couple of friends with Torkers... They've never had problems, nice beginner uni's... -
Not used one myself, but just talked with Tom Miller (a very good custom uni builder) this past week about the Torkers, and he gives them two thumbs up for a beginner uni. He says their very good quality for the money.

Hey, at $50, if it gets some-one started can you really go wrong?Every-one should watch their drawers!

I like my torker.
I've only had it a year or so and I don't do much heavy-duty stuff on it, but I've been very happy with it.
If your friend has long legs, they may need to invest in a new seatpost/seat, and that will add cost. The original seatpost is an "H" configuration, vs. a simple rectangle, at the connection point of the seat to the post, so I couldn't use the original seat on the new post.
They may have changed that part, for all i know.Comment
