This is a re-post form another group. I think the original person posts here as well, but haven't seen it posted here yet.

I guess they don't make 36er tubes with prestas?

Hey, a 36er unicycle!

Wouldn't one's toes hit the front tire when one turns hard left/right?

I believe you meant DW-LINK!

The 36'er DW-LINK bikes are indeed shipped with a SELF-EXTENDING feature that moves the front tire away from one's toes.

Thanks for reminding me! Forgot about that one!

Oh fine! Thanks for the correction.

And now that I think about it, it wouldn't matter. You wouldn't hit your toes because you wouldn't have to turn. The giant wheels would just roll over everything in there path!
