Stairs howto
We collected a few tips for you, so you can prepare properly for this event.
Grab your unicycle and get out there training - Stuttgarts stairs are no picnic.
Setup
- Change your tyre pressure: Usual downhill and stair downhill are not quite identically. Try to find the perfect urban tyre pressure
- Brake: You don't use it. Brake with your legs.
- Pedals: Use pedals with very good grip, you'll need it.
- Crank size: Long cranks allow you better control for downhill riding, but short ones are more fun on stairs.
Riding technique
- Keep your body tension and do not sit in the seat
- Increase the pressure onto the pedals by pulling the seat handle.
- Find a consistent pedalling rythm
