    I'm not sure if something is wrong with my new torker dx or not but when
    i ride it it seems alot harder to ride for longer distances than my
    other unicycles and when i ride one footed i find it hard to keep my
    speed up and i've never had that problem on my other unicycles. i was
    thinking it might just be because it's heavier and bigger wheels than
    the others i have.

    You can get plastic pedals really cheap, to test it out. I like plastic
    pedals.🙂

    Lighter pedals make a very small difference on anything less than a 29"
    wheel as far as making it easier to pedal.

    Torker DX comes with metal pinned Welgo pedals.

    If you hold the unicycle in the air and spin the wheel, does it spin
    freely or does it lock up or making a grinding noise? If it spins
    freely the issue is just more likely the fact that you need to get used
    to the wider knobbier tires.

    yeah, one footing on an LX feels like flying to me, its so fast. maybe
    it is the new unicycle, but make sure your pedals and wheel spin freely

    Heavier uni, bigger tire with softer rubber, more tire is touching the
    ground, with more grip.

    You get used to it, and soon youll be able to ride it smooth and fast.

    i found out it was the bearings being to tight. the person who had it
    before me must have had it really tight because i had already loosened
    it but not enough i guess. this time i took it all apart and made it as
    loose as it could be without anything being loose and i rode it about 7
    miles yesturday and i was tired but not near what i would have been.
    and i also found some crates so i my set up a course soon if they will
    give me them free.
