Showcasing my first impressions and experience during the ‘de-boxing’ of two Schlumpf inboard disc hubs - Model 2022/23 🤩🇨🇭
PLEASE NOTE: First 6 minutes is non-talking, if this isn’t your jam - skip to: 06:28 and you’ll get my spoken walk-through of these magical devices.
These hubs are planetary gearing marvels that allow unicycles to have a high 1:1.5 gear ⚙️ and shift up and down from regular, fixed riding in 1:1.
For ages they’ve been designed symmetrically and braking was either via rim brakes or with an outboard crank-based system.
These new hubs change all that, and are a ground up reworking of their design.
THEY ARE NEXT-LEVEL INCREDIBLE 💯
I was already a fan of epicyclic gearing for a unicycle, and of the work of Florian Schlumpf in making this a production reality for unicyclists. But after opening these new hubs, I’m even more sold that they are worth their weight in gold.
Enjoy - and stay tuned for more content in how these hubs build up into a G24 and G29 wheels (Flansberrium) — and most importantly: HOW THEY RIDE!
