  1. This was my first time down at the trails, I was riding my Torker
    Unistar LX. It was a nice ride. I wish I had a MUni though it would
    have been a lot better. The torker handeled those trails becuase they
    were pretty easy. There are some harder ones that I might try if I ever
    get a MUni.

  2. You could get a knobbyer tire that would fit it, it would make it a
    little easier.

    I Munied on an LX like that for a long time, its not that bad.

    Why did you make two threads? Did somthing not work?

  4. There is always something better. Once you get used to what you are
    riding as long as your not doing 2' drops it will do just fine. Good
    suggestion to change the tyre it will make a big difference.
    I road a 20" bare bones Uni in the trails for a year. Tons of rough
    riding but it made it. The rim was never true again, But did'nt do much
    to stop me.
    Now I have an awsome Coker for the trails.
    Everyone has to start somewhere.
    Have Fun!!!!

  5. The LX has a good rim.

    I did a 3 foot drop on mine, but it bent the axle.

  6. You can have tons of fun riding trails with a "regular" uni. That's all
    I had from 1979 until 1996, when I put a knobby on my Schwinn. I still
    did all right. A skinny, non-knobby tire just makes the same trails more
    of a challenge than they are with a fat knobby. Challenge is good.
