  1. i've seen in a couple of trials and street vid's where a rider uses a
    20" wheel on a 24" frame. i don't quite understand this as it just
    seems to me as it would add weight with the bigger frame. does anybdy
    have a clue as to why people do this?

    because its big and annoying and in the freaking way.
    and it makes freestyle tricks infinitely harder.

    not everyone has an extra 50-200 bucks to blow for a trials frame. Some
    people save up for this crazy thing that you might not know about
    called college.

    ohh
    lol
    I know all about that
    but thats what scholarships are for.
    and besides, unicycling is more important anyways(lol)

    but its stupid to do that, why not just get a 24" cheapo rounded crown
    frame, noone has ever broken one of them (that I know of).

    EDIT:and just get an average square top frame.
