    I see all kinds of custom built unis here. I'm curious to know how to
    tell what wheels fit what frames.

    I know there are a few unis with extremely wide tires (4" or so). I'm
    not worried about those.

    I'm wondering if you can take a wheelset from a nimbus or a torker uni
    and put it in a koxx-one frame and vice-versa?

    Are the forks of a uni frame standard sizes or does every manufacturer
    have it's own sizes it goes by?

    Like I said before, it's curiosity. I'm not planning to build a uni...
    at least not until I taco the rim on mine, which hopefully never
    happens.

    There are four things you've got to consider:
    1. tire clearance (width)
    2. wheel height vs. frame height (i.e. a 24 frame won't fit a 29 wheel,
    duh)
    3. wheelset bearing size - I don't know much about this. All of my
    unicycles just happen to use the same size bearings as far as I know.
    4. seatpost diameter - there are lots of different diameters, but a
    seatpost is cheaper to replace than a wheelset

    I think there are only two sizes of bearings that are used on
    unicycles, and if you have the smaller one going into a larger frame,
    you can buy/make shims to get them to fit.

    Tire height and width are usually not an issue for most frames. Cheap
    frames or freestyle type frames, designed to have less wheel clearance
    to make certain tricks easier, generally won't fit a fat DH tire.

    hope this helps!

    just find out the OD of the bearing and then find out if the frame takes
    that size bearings, because its mostly the bearing that don't allow
    frame swapping.
