  1. I want to get a new frame that can hold a wider tire because currently
    my lx can only hold up to a 2.3 and I want to go wider. Is there a
    frame that can attach to my lx wheelset that can hold a wider tire. I
    guess I'm looking for a street/trials frame. also any suggestions on a
    wider tire on a 20'' wheel not 19'' trials. Thank you

    About the same volume as a Trials tire.

    I think its alot skinnier. It might be because its so round, but it
    seems skinnier when its next to my trials uni. I can go check...

    That depends what rim you have it on. Just like if you put a duro on a
    large marge it looks way bigger. On my 7ka rim it looked about as wide
    as my luna on a kh rim.

    actually here is a picture...

    and the other way...

    if you can get ahold of a onza sticky fingers tell me... that is the
    tire you will NEED

    Maxxis makes some pretty good tires
    Creepy crawler makes a 2.0 front tire... i bet it is bigger than a 2.0
    regular tire... any thoughts on that?

    anything over 2.4 will fold and WILL NOT be worth it, folding tires is
    not fun... it really sucks... REALLY
    i would rather ride a brick than have a folding tire

    i ride a performance products tire w/ a pretty thick sidewall, but it
    seems pretty small, i could get a fatter tire... it says its 2.25, but
    i think its smaller

    when they are compressable at all and are on a normal rim they fold...
    all the time...
    im talking about the average 20" rim, NOT 19 " wide(lol) !!!!!!!

  10. The only tire i've had trouble with is the fireball, and I hate it.
    Paper thin sidewalls, and even at a high pressure I got a pinch flat.
    It folded too much to even use at a low pressure.

    My duro, creepy crawler and kinetics tire never fold and are
    compressable.

  11. get the onza sticky fingers i have one and its great for what you want
    to do.

    But u can get the maxxis Max daddy which is abit thiner I think 2.25"
    and that might even fit in ur lx frame... i wouldnt bother buying a new
    frame if u can get the max daddy. They are a pretty good ride too.

  12. I already have the max daddy on my lx right now and it folds, the knob
    on it is almost gone after only a month or two of riding and rotating
    every week. But the frame has to be able to fit on a standard bmx
    wheel, I know alot of frames are too wide which makes this pretty
    tricky.

  13. The 20g is exactly the same width as a trials tire. It is 2.5" exactly.
    however it is about 3/8" taller than a trials tire.
