folding = the tire squishes too far on a sidehop, which like throws you
off so you're kind of on the edge of the rim, which could be bad at
times.

Yeah, I heard that a thicker trials like tube helps the folding, but a
thinner tube has a better prehop....

go to a shop and look at the tubes 1.75 is skinny, at least get a 2.215

More air pressure fo sho, or dont land at so much of a parallel angle to
the ground when you sidehop.

it's not landing. it's on take off. i lean a little to one side, push
down and go. the push makes the tire fold, and really messes with my
hop. i'm running at close to the max pressure and it still does it. my
LBS has no fatter tubes. i guess i'll have to find a trials website or a
moped tube or something. thanks though.

Darren Bedford has a 20x3.0 intertube for sale. I've never tried it but
that sounds ideal. www.bedfordunicycles.com I am using a 20x2.125 tube
which works ok, I have to inflate it to around 30 PSI to eleminate fold
over for side hop (static lean and jump, no prehop = 62" long jump) I
would think it's your tube. Have you checked walmart for a kids bicycle
tube (20x1.95-2.125)?

Oh yeah, I had that the other day when I was hopping around on this
little play structure at park. I was hopping with crappy style. Then
pumped up my tire and was hopping with....... Cool style....

Unicycle.com sells a 20 inch by 2.15 tube, that works for most people,
you cant use bedfords 20 by 3 inch because a trials is only 2.5 inchs
wide. Go to genaric tubes and select that size

Have you checked Darren and been told the 20x3.0 would not fit? A
non-inflated tube is way smaller then the listed size, from what I can
tell, a "3.0" tube should fit a trials uni; I was planning to try out
that beefer tube when I have to change my tire.

Does anyone know the stated diameter of a moped tube; I’d assume its
larger then 3.0”?

...I don't mean my post as an attack; I'm interested to know the answer.

forgetting...anyway, thanks for the help and i'll let you know how it
comes out once i find a better tube.

The moped tube should solve your problems, I've personally ridden one.

um, i did part 1, and i'm asking if part 2 is actually my problem, and
it seems that it is, so now i gotta find a bigger tube. i just got back
from wal-mart and they sell a 20x4.25 tube. that's waaay too fat. loks
like moped tube it is.
