    UDC says you cannot fit a Luna 20" Trials tire on the DX 20".
    But Jagur has shown that a 3" Gazz Will fit on a Torker 24" which is
    supposed to be impossible. Does anyone know if the 2.5 x 20" tire will
    fit on the DX 20". I'm going to soon buy a low $ Trials and I would
    really like the strength of the DX. But more important I want a full
    size trials tire (2.5). So the Nimbus will be my choice if truly a 2.5
    won't fit the DX.

    Even if the Torker frame is wide enough to fit the Luna, it still
    wouldn't work. The Luna tire fits on a 19 inch rim like the DX32 or
    Monty. The Torker comes with a 20 inch rim.

    So perhaps I could use a 19" rim and spoke it to the torker hub?

    You could, and it was something I was looking into for myself, the
    problem is that the Torker uses 48 spokes and most other rims use 32.

    Somebody bring a bunch of those to the US! I think they are only
    available through uni.com UK.

    Does anyone know if this tire will fit the Torker Frame? And is the
    stock rim wide enough for it?

    I just put a Maxxis Max Daddy 20x2.25 on my Torker LX and it fits with
    about 1/4 inch to spare from the top.

    Im also looking to get a dx 20" for trials.Most likly ill go down to a
    bikeshop completly unprepared looking for a trials tire to fit it.
    cant you just get a tire that is wider but not specifically for
    trials?
    thats what id like to know.
