freestyle wheelset on trials frame?

It may work, depending on which kind of frame you have got. If its a 'no
name Taiwanese' frame it should be no problem. If its a GP/Summit frame
you should investigate whether you can get bearings with the correct ID
and OD to fit on a square taper hub, before getting the wheel built
up.

Other than that I reckon its preferable to have two complete unicycles
rather than one frame with two wheelsets, as you'll be forever changing
between them. Either that or one will end up gathering dust in a corner
somewhere...

I agree with Tony. i have two sets of cranks for my 24" Muni to swap
between trials and Muni (170mm) and cross country (140mm) Some how the
effort of swapping between them stops me from doing it very often. Also
check that a trials tyre will fit in your freestyle frame, some of them
are made to fit very tightly over the tyre and won't take a 2.5"

swaping out wheels is totaly possible, you just have to put alot of
thought into it. try and get a hub the same width as the Trials wheel
and bearing size etc. things like that.

i swap between a 24x3 and a 26x2.215 on my Hunter frame.

The freestyle wheel and trials wheel are going to have different crank
lengths. Every time you change the wheel you're also going to need to
change the seat height. That can get to be a pain especially when
switching to the freestyle mode because just a few mm difference in seat
height can feel like a lot. Trials seat height isn't so fussy.

The other problem is that the effort required to change the wheel and
seat height may keep you from making the switch as often as you would
initially expect. Who wants to spend 15 minutes fiddling with a wheel
change and seat height change every time you want to switch from trials
to freestyle?

Its a pretty good idea if your on a tight budget. The second wheel you
can use in your 1st frame for now and if/when you have the funds you can
get a frame for it that suits it and your riding style*. I have a racing
wheel that fits the frame of my 29er or my trials, but I hardly ever
race seriously so it not worth having a frame dedicated to it. I don't
do much bouncing either so that wheel too is not a permenant fixture in
that frame. In fact I rather like the Leo White idea of owning a load of
bits and assembling the best uni for the job at hand out of those
bits,

* not every one likes having the anglular frame shoulders that trails
unis so often have, I hate them for hockey as they bruise my knees, so
my chosen frame for a 20 inch has rounded shoulders.

3 reasons.

1) someone that doesnt have as much money to burn.

2) someone that likes to swap wheels and likes the 15 minute process.

3) because its a totaly reasonable thing to do.
