But I would advise you to get a larger wheel.
I have been riding about a year, and was very generous buying myself
unicycles.
After about 2 weeks on an old 20 cheapy, I bought a 36. I rode that
only a few yards and decided I wasn't ready yet, so I ordered a KH 24
the same day.
That proved an excellent choice. After I lowered the tire pressure to
17, from about 40 psi, it absorbed stones really well and I had a blast
riding around the local trails and streets. It was a lot more fun, and
even easier to ride then the 20, mostly because of it's higher cruise
speed. After about a month of that, I learned to ride the 36 in an
afternoon, and it was great fun also.
Finding a good deal on a KH 20 (371 $ delivered ) in the good old AEB
days, I bought one just for the hell of it.
However, at my low skill level, the KH 20 was boring. It was really
only better then the 24 at tricks I couldn't do yet. Compared to the 24
it was less fun in all ways. It sat in my living room unused for months.
I did use it to learn to idle while watching tv, but that was about it,
for a long time.
Once I was good at idling, the KH 20 became my favorite when I started
to ride backwards and do hops. I am sure these could be learned on the
24 as well, but the 20's low seat gives it a feeling of greater
confidence, or at least not as far to fall.:) So about half the time I
ride the little KH now.
Then I bought a torker ax 29, just for the hell of it. So cheap at only
200 $ delivered free from brands cycle. You might want to consider one
of those.
It is extremely light, and excellent for neighborhood riding, and light
muni. It won't handle a ba****ng like the KH will, but beginner riders
will want to learn drops and stuff with a smaller wheel anyway. There
is no reason to break the ax 29 that way.
So I think you would have the most fun, of my uni's, on the 24 muni or
the 29. They are both a blast. Then buy a good trials uni in a few
months, after you have learned to idle and ride backwards on your Sun.
You might want to invest in a KH street seat for the Sun. Other than a
better seat, there really is no difference between the KH and Sun, as
far as learning basic road riding stuff.
