I think you should get the maxxis tire instead of the luna

seems tuff enough for just about anyone. it would last you awhile. Its
easier to just buy a prebuilt one though personally.

if you like the maxxis CC then you should get it, but their is no
"better tire" between the maxxis cc and the luna. I rode with the cc
for several months and just recently got the luna and in my opinion it
is a better tire. the grind pedals look like they are good but you can
make some for a lot cheaper that work just as well. if you are going
to be doing any tricks where your feet leave the pedals the grind plate
tends to be up.

their are 2 types of unicyclist. ones who can suck it up and go for
things and ones who can't. guess which ones become good?

It's great. I'd get the 135mm cranks though. there long enought o do
trials with, and short enough to do street with. they also have a great
surface for standing on.

i heard 140 was good because they have more control over the unicycle.

yea, but the 135's would be good because you'd still haqve enough
control over the uni for trials, and have a great length for street,
and flatland. it's really hard to do wraps ect. on the normal koxx
cranks.
