  3. A street uni is basically a trials uni.
    KH, Onza, any trials uni, 20x2.5" tire etc will do for street.

  4. Simplicity is the key.
    If you wan't to see a street uni, just go to unicycle.com and look at
    the Torker dx for the stats, it works great for street and freestyle.
    you can also go to torkerusa.com. Its the cheapest and one of the best
    in my opinion.

  5. if you want an even cooler street rig, get a torker or miyata airseat.
    with street, you never get your seat out in front of you, so this is a
    nice way to make everything more enjoyable. and with all street pedals
    you should get some grindplates on them.

    unicycles play and sing together. and where the big bad slurpee throwers
    are non-existant. and where unicycle=pimp. and where the trails thrive
    and live. -the place i go when i ride-

  6. I found a pic of the Torker Dx. it works quite well for street and kicks
    a$$ on freestyle. This uni can take some nice drops.

    oh yeah.. the cranks aren't as long as the picture shows. They're
    actually the perfect length. *

    is that splined?

  10. As far as I know it is. Its only downfall is the frame is to small to
    accompany a wide tire. I was looking into it a while back but went with
    a summit, which I think is pretty good for street.

    Don't forget that it (the Torker DX 20) also uses a 20 inch rim which
    cannot fit trials tires. Not that you could use a trials tire anyway
    because of the previously mentioned narrow frame.

  12. replying to dubmuni2004 i just got done riding it and yes the cranks are
    splined, ten spline i think.
    ohh... and i find that the trials size tires are more difficult for
    street so the 2.125 is fine with me

  13. Where do you get the grind plates from? Homemade? Are there any
    available that fit Snafus? Where can i get them?

  14. go to Danscomp.com click on bike parts then under pedals you will see
    the Kommando grind plate, they are made of lexan and are slide fast. And
    I think these do fit SNAFUs, but im not sure.
