Hey there,

I got interested in unicycle recently and I was fortunate enough to find someone selling his used 24'' uni. It's a steal: 60$ for a 160$ worth new. The pedals are scrapped a bit and there is a couple scratches.. but hey.. nothing's perfect.

So my question is: How hard is it to learn on a 24'' compared to a 20'' wheel?
(I know about learning methods.. but they all suggested 20'' that's why I'm asking)

I don't think there is a big differance. The biggest differance is where you intend to ride it. Are you performing on a small stage, or are you riding around your neighborhood?

It's simply for fun in the driveway, then to get to work. If the need arise to do something more then I'll check out the more specialized Unis. (Mountain unicycling has a special place in my future projects )

I'm still learning and I have a 24", I have ridden 20" and it is a bit easer but don't get hung up on that go out and have fun. Oh and the 24" will ride over things better so better for muni.

The bigger the wheel the better for distances (quicker, you have to go round less).
The smaller the wheel the better for turning (better for small stages or in busy crowds).

Personally I'd say 20" would be easier to learn on as they are much quicker and more nimble than a 24".

It would be a bit like learning to drive a manual car without being able to use 1st gear.

Having said that, I can see that riding a slower, less responsive one could have its perks too!

However, I'm not speaking from experience, I rarely ride 24". But learning on a 24" is certainly possible.

Good luck!

Learn them all - once the method is mastered, there is no difference.
