  1. most of the trials unis have 19" rims but it`s written on tires "20 x
    2.5"
    isn`t the 20 the diameter? is the 20" tire compatible to the 19" rim?
    i`m going to buy a new tire now and I wanted to know exactly because
    it`s not me who`s going to the store but a friend who`ll be in germany.
    help me out!

  4. 'This' (http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=3802) is a link
    to a site that lists most cycle tyre (tire, my spelling 😉 ) sizes and
    the compatibilities, as well as the correct size for (again) most of
    the weird 😕 sizes the cycling industry has come up with. A 17
    X 1 1/4 is bigger than an 18 X 1 1/8! And a 26 X 1 1/2 is bigger than
    a 26 X 1.5! Thankfully there is a trend to standardizing - ask your
    LBS to use ISO sizing and if they don't know what it is, printout the
    chart and give it to them, they need it.

    Sorry, a 20 X 2.5 isn't on the chart, I guess it's too weird.

    Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
    Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference. If you try not

  5. If you check out the 'tire chart '
    (http://www.unicycle.uk.com/tyretable.html)on unicycle.com you will see
    that the 20" trials tires fit on 396mm diameter rims whilst standard
    20" tires fit on 406mm rims. This is why the the 20" trials rims are
    sometimes referred to as 19" rims because they are smaller than
    standard 20" rims, and trials tires are referred to as 19" tires
    because they fit on these rims. Using the metric sizes of the tires is
    often more reliable of checking what rim they will fit, but nobody but
    the French uses metric.
