I would think so. I still get a bounce from my prehops and stuff. When
you pump up the tube it will expand to the size of the tire so I don't
think you have to worry about it.

no way. regular tubes fold about 5x worse than a trials tube. i got mine
from bedford though. shipping's the same on , or was when i ordered.
You could call bike shops in the area and see how fat their 20 inch
tubes come. also, the one i got from bedford is thicker on the outside.

this is coming form a guy who's 6'4 and 190lbs. if you're significantly
smaller/lighter you might be fine with a regular tube.

I've been using a normal 20" inner tube in my trials cycle for only a
few weeks and it's already got a leak in.

Try unicycle.com for Trials inner tubes (I know www.unicycle.co.uk
sells them.)

well, depending on what bike shop and where you live, it might be harder
to get them from your LBS, than from bedford.

I have very hard to imagine that a thinner tube would make your tyre
fold worse.

From what I've understood you use a thicker tube to get more
snakebite-protection.. to protect your tube is punctured between your
rim and the ground when you bottom the tyre out..
