Re: Should I get a 20" or 24" LX

Since you're planning on getting an LX I'd get the 24" as I don't see
how a 20" LX would be any better than a 24" LX...

like pele said 20'' is better for almost any kind of trick when your 5'
8''. 24'' is just faster to ride on. Most people I know learned on a
20'' unicycle.

When I was just starting out, I learned on a 20".

In retrospect, I wish my first unicycle had been a 24".

I would say go 24. These are much more entertaining to ride around the
neighborhood while you are learning basic riding balance. I would even
say a 24 is a bit easier to ride, as balance is a little easier at it's
naturally faster riding speed.

I was bored with my small wheels and almost always rode the 24 or 36
for my first few months of riding. Once you can ride a 24 for a few
miles, you could get used to a 36 in a day. The 19 is great for tricks,
but I didn't know any !

For the last few weeks I have been riding mostly the 19. I can go
backwards on the 24 and 29, but I learned it on the 19. I think it is
way easier to have confidence on a smaller wheel, especially going
backwards, because it is so close to the ground. I very rarely fall
down, and when I do, I am always glad it wasn't from a greater hight.

So I would say buy a 24 now, or even a 29, if you like to go exploring
far.
Then buy a 19 or 20 later, when you want to learn to do trickier
stuff.

When in doubt, always remember that the best answer is to buy another
unicycle lol .🙂

Yeah, but I wouldn't be doing any tricks on a 20" LX if it was my main
unicycle. Probably be trashed after a month tops.

That is assuming that you don't use it for freestyle, which is what
you're supposed to use it for 😉

I started on a 20" and I am glad I learened with the 20". Im also more
into street, trials and freestyle, so jumping up and down stairs and
ledges, gaps, tricks, grabs, and everything were a lot better to learn
on the 20". I do enjoy and do lots of muni, which was still fine on a
the 20".
