  2. well you'll need a splined hub and crankset obviously...i recomend the
    2005 KH/onza or profiles if you have the money. basically you want the
    same setup as a trials uni. also i recomend using a luna for street or
    getting a diferent tire and cutting the knobs off and smoothing the
    tire for street.

  3. Maybe get a Koxx devil. The only real difference between trials and
    street is the pedals.

    First off, would you want a 2.5 trials tire or not? If so, I suggest
    looking around at unicycle.com, splined is the strongest by far, both
    the Torker DX and the Qu-Ax trials are strong for a fair price.

    If you don't think you'll need a knobby wide trials tire, you'll have
    to put together a splined uni with a normal 20" rim (trials rims are
    "19 inches"😉 and a slick BMX street tire.

    Or just buy an older Torker DX. It has the same cranks and hub as the
    new one, but it has a 2.125"(?) tire instead of a 2.5 inch tire. They
    are probably a bit harder to find, but they weigh less and are cheap.
    They have pretty cheasy rims, though.
