Feel I should add my bit as my Unipack is redundant in a couple of days.
I feel quite attached to it, bought it about four or five months ago for £149, before this thread started- probably wouldn't have if this thread had existed.
I have been riding it breakless for the last two months. Only changed the saddle pedals and tyres.
Still original chain, BB etc. I have ridden it hard, learnt to skid, ride backwards and crappy wheelies...
It pains me to see them getting slagged off so badly but I think I know why.
About a week ago I met two guys who had had unipaks for about a week and the bb were completely buggered. It must be that at some point there was a good batch but now they're all shit.
I believe mine is a good one, it still runs well. Its got me heavily into a sport thats draining my funds and pissing off my girlfriend but I love it. I felt like a dick riding it for ages because of the stuff written here and the amount of them you see. But now my new ride is here I feel the least I can do is commit forum suicide and stick up for my loyal unipack.
