But seriously, why doesn't someone who rides completely and strictly
trials do this? Think about it. A 7 pound uni will be incredible easy
to tuck. Because the wheel is so small, you could tuck up WAYWAYWAY
high. You don't need some fat tire, because the second you're in the
air you just tuck, you don't need the rebound of a tire to help you.

very good idea... but if the seatpost was the same hight it is now
think of how high you could jump, that would be sweet.........a 12 inch
trials🙄 🙄

it wouldnt be good for trials, maybe for hopping(but thats about it).
but i imagine trying to ride an skinny that is slanted upwards, or
riding on any upwards slope would be very hard.

why do you want it?

My friend has this uni. It is really hard to ride and you cant turn at
all. I tried riding and fell off everytime. Its amusing but not that
good for riding. If you slant your foot down while riding on the
pedals your toe can easily hit the ground.

I've also thought of this for High Jump competition. A smaller wheel
will make jumping higher that much easier.

The problem is that those 12" wheels are generally built to the
specification of a child's bike. They're not intended to take much
weight or abuse. They also probably have a pretty low spoke count. I
think you'd have to custom build a rim and spokes to take the abuse.
Then you'd have a very interesting Trials and jumping machine. Yes, the
small wheel size will have your pedals hitting the ground all the time
(I have a 12" uni with a very low seat), but it's ridable.

I've seen joe hodges attack obstacles at the south bank skate spot on a
10" solid tyre uni. Didn't quite have the pop of his XTP but he could
still get a couple of feet of height on it.

Yeah, I guess John is right. The rim would have to be custom made,
because the KH hub is 36 spoke. Then, a 36 spoke 12" rim would have the
spokes nearly touching, so tensioning would have to be done from the
outside of the rim. And the other guy had a point. Riding up hill would
be very hard.

I have actually ridden a 12" like this, and it wasn't that hard. I
would seriously do this if I had a few hundred dollars to blow. I think
it would be an awesome experiment.

and you would have to custom make the cranks because you wouldn't be
able to pedal with 127s.

the sun 20 uni also has something like 7 spokes, and a single walled
rim. The tire has no traction compared even to a luna, and unless you
wanted it to be rock ad you would bottom out all the time.

Also, not any people tuck to the full amount on a trials uni (so that
your but is touching the tire. It wouldn't even help if you couldn't do
that.

another thing, unless all of you trials is hop hop gap (which looks
really bad), rolling lines would suck, especially skinnies.

and you wouldn't be able to use metal pedals(not enough room)
