    Hey guys.

    I'm looking at getting a new unicycle, specifically for trails.

    I searched the forums, and the new '07 Torker DX seems like the best
    option. The only question I have now, is whether I should get the 20 or
    24 inch tire.

    I know I can get the 20 inch for $250 on Brandscycle.com, with free
    shipping, and the 24 is about $275 everywhere I have seen it.

    I've never ridden a 24 inch uni before, so I am biased toward the 20
    inch.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mike.

    Do you mean trails or trials? The answer i think will be fairly
    unanimously 24" and 20" respectively.

    uniredneck, that link did help. I've pretty much made up my mind on the
    20 inch now.

    Kington, I meant trails. Although,I guess I could of meant trials, as I
    don't know what that is. Unless you are refering to a learner uni. In
    which case, the answer would be no, I've been riding freestyle for a
    while.

    Thanks for the replys guys,

    Mike

    Do you mean Mountain Unicycling, or trials riding (e.g. hopping over
    obstacles)?

    No problem, it's just that 99% of the time when someone says trails
    they meant trials. For riding offroad, trails, cross-country etc. I
    would really reccomend the 24" wheel, the 20 is very slow and doesnt
    get over obstacles atall well.

    Trials... Now that I know that is the correct spelling... Haha. It still
    looks wrong...

    Trials. Like, street riding, hopping, jumping, griding, etc.
