Unfortunately, my old 26" Nimbus muni is finally starting to show its age.

The hydraulic rim brakes are getting tired (and seem to confuse every local bike shop), 26×3" tires are getting harder to find, and I just snapped a spoke. Everything is repairable, but it felt like the right time to retire it to winter/backup duty and treat myself to an upgrade.

The unfortunate part? There really aren't many good options for Canadians anymore. Kris Holm still makes incredible unicycles (I absolutely love my KH36), but there isn't a Canadian dealer anymore, and U.S. shops generally won't ship them across the border.

(insert plea for someone to starting selling good unicycles in Canada again!)

So... if I'm already paying to ship a unicycle across an ocean, why not go all in and order a customized one from Italy!?

I ended up ordering a custom-anodized 27.5" from Mad4One (https://www.mad4one.com), and it finally arrived.

The fit and finish are fantastic, and having hydraulic disc brakes on a muni is a huge step up from the old rim brakes. It may just be the honeymoon phase talking, but the 27.5" also seems to roll over roots and rough sections a little more effortlessly than my old 26".

I've had it out a few times on the local trails and it's awesome. Looking forward to actually making out it to the mountains soon!
