Adding standard category for time-trial records (Closed for comments)

There are two basic classes in unicycling- Standard and Unlimited.
The standard class allows performance to be compared across time/eras, whereas the unlimited category tracks progression of technology.
If you look at the evolution of the Unicycle hour record- there are incremental leaps as larger wheels became available, then the geared hub, followed by lighter 36" rims/tubes/tyres. In future we might have multiple gears, aerodynamic fairings, recumbent unicycles etc.
It is impossible to compare the athletic performance of someone who sets the record today, with a record from 25yrs ago, which defeats the purpose of record keeping.
In bicycling, they standardised their definition of a bicycle. While there are some technological improvements allowed within the rules, someone who sets the record today can compare their performance to Eddy Merckx in 1972:

Currently, all our time-trial records are in the unlimited category. This makes it inequitable for riders who compete and specialise in the standard category. I propose that we have a standard 29" category for all future time-trial records greater than 10km (or time equivalant), and a standard 24" category for 10km or less.
