  1. I had a go on a trials uni the other day and it seamed quite hard to
    ride compared to my 20" freestyle and my 24" muni...

    the tyre had very little air in it (it wasn't flat)

    Are they usually hard to ride and turn etc or is it because it needed
    more air in?

    Thanks

    😄

  2. low air = more bounce = better

    theyre usually kept quite low.

    But are they meant to be that low that they're really hard to turn etc?

  4. they arent usually hard to turn. though fatter tyres do take a little
    time to get used to if you havent ridden with them before.

    His post = not quite correct 😉

    I know I ride mine quite high and so does Ryan Atkins. It might look
    like peoples tyres are flat because they can utilize their prehop and
    because people on trials unicycles tend to go bigger. Some people run
    their tyres really low, and they think its better, but remember, the
    tyre will be more prone to bottoming out and you could get more flats.
    I know people can jump really high on very high pressure freestyle
    unicycles.

    Mike

    [EDIT] His tyre pressure was probably to low for you.

  9. Yeah, his PSI was probably to high for you. I know that I run mine
    pretty high for my weight- around ~22 PSI and I weigh only 85-90
    pounds.

    I like a rather high pressure on my trials tire too. A lot of people
    seem to think that a large volume tire is intended to make you bounce.
