Status: Passed on December 10, 2023
Background
This proposal summarizes numerous minor changes, mainly for consistency of rules and wording.
Proposal
2B.1.2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
Old:
3. The youngest age group for 24 Class wheels should have a minimum age of 0, so riders 10 and younger have the option of racing on 24 Class with those groups (e.g. 0-8 on 20 Class, 9-10 on 20 Class, 0-13 on 24 Class).
4. There is an allowable tire diameter range and minimum crank arm length for each Unicycle Class:
5. Any unicycles in question must be checked for compliance within their wheel class (wheel diameter, crank length and transmission), with the tire pressure that will be used in the race. Preferably, this check is carried out immediately before the race. Crank arm length is measured from the center of the wheel axle to the center of the pedal axle. Longer sizes may be used.
6. In all track racing events on regular unicycles, shoes must not be fixed to the pedals in any way (no click-in pedals, toe clips, tape, magnets or similar).
