random fact of the day: proper radio protical states that you use
"over" when you request a responce and "out" when not requesting a
responce.

sorry

170 is not really that heavy and compared to a bike you put twice as
much weight on the tire, it is prety normal for there to be some buldge
in the bottom of the tire. If you want a higher pressure tire it is
easy enough to just replace the tire with a higher quality BMX tire.

Bottom line. the Torker CX ins not made for hoping... I dont know if you
meant when you get on the thing, or actually were talking about hopping
with it. You do not sound too big for a 20" what so ever.

Random fact of the day: proper spelling of "protical" states that you
use "protocol" when you request a person use proper radio
nomenclature.

Sorry Eric, had to do it, seriously though, love the content you add to
the forums!

Not sure about the Torker CX, but I sure don't feel too secure riding a
20" Gravity, feels like I'm going to break it at 200lbs. Rode a
buddies 20" KH, felt just fine.

My daughter's Torker CX came with a skinny tire. I forget the size,
maybe 20x1.75? Anyway, noticably smaller than the LX with its
20x2.125" tire. You might check if you can go up to a bigger tire size
with it, which would help some. The frame is not as wide as the LX,
but still has some room.

And I would say that thing is not meant for hopping, especially with
the little tire that comes on it.

The 20" size isn't the problem, I'm bigger than you and a 20" works
fine, although a bigger wheel would speed me along some. 🙂

Is the frame not good for hopping or are you talking about the tire?

I meant the whole thing. Not that I've broken one of each to see how
they compare or anything. But the CX appears to be lighter built than
the LX, and most of these guys that are doing any jumping around to
speak of are on something higher quality than an LX.

I just checked and yes, it is a 20x1.75 tire.

yeah, the cx is really designed as a starter uni for children (hence the
small seat), they're not very strong at all. You may be too big for the
cx, but anyone can ride a 20". a good 20" wheel will be stronger than
any other wheel you can get

Seriously, the other wheel just fell off one day.
