    I haven't ridden my unicycle in two weeks due to my warped rim. I
    ordered an Alex DM 24 rim from uni.com.

    It arrived today and *uh-oh* the rim is 24 inches when I need it to
    support a 24 inch tire.

    When i return this rim, what size rim do I need to get? I didn't see any
    23 or 22 inch rims for sale.

    Will I ever ride again? I hope Zach's summit comes soon.

    ... Sorry, do you mean you got a 24" rim for a 24" tyre?? Surely that's
    what you're after isn't it? Or did you get a 26" rim??

    If your rim measures 24" then it's not a 24" rim.

    The actual diameter of my 24" rim is around 21".

    sounds like you may have a 26".

    A 24" rim is of such a size that with the tyre fitted it will be approx
    24" toal diamater.

    I ordered a 24 inch rim (Alex DM 24) and it fits all the old 26 inch
    tires in my garage, but not my unicycle.

    ok, because a 24" is supposed to fit a 24" tire. but if it only fit 26"
    tires then its obviously a 26" rim (i figured that out by myself!)

    Well the rim is 24 inches wide. My current wheel is 24 inches wide with
    the tire on. Obviously I need a smaller rim, but what size?

    24" wide? That's a fat rim! 😉 As said above, the rim should be 21" or
    so. And also, as said above, it would seem you have a 26" rim. You need
    to change it for a proper 24". They may have made a mistake at uni.com
    or wherever you got it.
