  1. 16" motorcycle tires fit on a 20" rim!!!!!!! My friend ryan did it to
    his unicycle. it looks pretty awesome and the tire he has is fairly
    springy and doesn't fold, even on his CX rim.

    just a few examples that will fit, I just don't know about frame
    clearance.

    So it's too big for a trials rim, right?

  5. 40 bucks for a motorcycle tire is good. thats the price of a decent bike
    one.

  7. How much do these tires actually way? How much more than a Luna or CC?
    The shipping weight is useally much higher than the actual weight.

  8. A number of years ago we looked into these tires for use on rear of
    trials bicycle. I actually bought a couple, to find out:
    1. I don't remember the weight exactly, but the figure 4 or 5 pounds
    sounds right.
    2. The compound was not grippy, in fact for cycling (or UNI)
    application they would not be very grabby. They might be fine on
    moto-trials, but there you have to ad 150 pounds+ for the weight of the
    bike.... making harder compounds necessary.
    3. The size. If it is the same tire I played with a few years ago
    (and it looks like it), they were too big.

    Sorry for the negetives, just thought I would save some one a few bucks
    before they made the effort to learn what I did.

  12. yer well if you wana be i D!CK about it then none of us use any tyres as
    99% are designed for bikes.....

    reason i said that is because it is a useless idea that has greater
    disadvantages than advantages
