Rack for my 36"

[u/tlong243]

Just recently got this 36 and it is amazing. Glides so smooth almost like a bike. Honestly feels closer to a bike than to my 27.5 unicycle. Pretty incredible ride, very happy I got one. After riding muni for many years I was able to pick it up first try. Such an incredible feeling to fly that fast.

This morning I whipped up a homemade rack for my 36. I plan for some pretty lengthy rides on this thing and knew I would want to bring some gear with me.

I made it out of some old stainless filing cabinet divider/separator/file hanger things. Pretty simple design that could easily be copied with pipe clamps or conduit hangers. I just had them and enjoy recycling scrap. Thought I would share to give others ideas or inspiration.

This is a great build out. I have the same Uni and have been daydreaming what I could do for cargo. Looks clean and is functional. Great work!

if you've got some spare income, id recommend looking at the modern bikepacking 'mini panniers' type bags. good way to drop the weight lower for this rack design

Ya I was thinking some panniers would be great. Just did a ~30 mile ride, and when I had a lot of water in the back it was top heavy and harder to mount. Lower slung might be nice.

Also learned I kinda need to counterbalance with some stuff in the front, so going to modify and make a bottle holder extension for the front.

Are you based in Europe? I'm planning on unipacking across Germany on my 36er after UniCon, looking for folks to join!

No I'm in the states. Sounds like an awesome trip though!
