trials tires?

gordito8me said:

what are the advantages of having a trials tire verses a bmx. I'm still
not quite convinced that there's too big of a difference. Does it
improve your hopping height at all? also write some of the downsides to
a trials tire if there are any.

i thought the same thing up until yesterday
get a trials, they are superultraundescribably bouncier, I can hop
about 8" higher on my friends uni w/ a MUNI tire (duro)... and trials
tires are supposed to be bouncier than those.

if you have a 20" rim, a trial tyre wont fit, triall tyres only fit on
19" rims they are modded 20" tyres.

And they basically, have so much more air in them, they are way better.

I would suggest the Maxxis holy roller, it comes in a not as fat size as
trials tires. I really liked mine when thats what i rode, and if I
didn't have a 19in. rim now I would still use it because it was light
and very bouncy.

If trees could scream would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Why use a trials tire?
It has a high volume for lots of air for spring and cushion.
It has good grip not only from front to back, but from side to side as
well.
It is big.
It fits on trials rims, which are wide.

I ride one on my Uni.

It's alright, could be a bit fatter though.

I would recommend a Kenda Kinetics 20x2.35 though, IF you can find it.

Not sure if it's 2.35 though, might be a different size... but either
way, it's like 15% fatter than the Max Daddy.

Actually I saw the maxdaddy in a 2.25. so that's about as big as my
unicycle will fit. I'll try it out and make another thread on how it
is. It should be here by next thursday

Max Daddy 20x2.25 is VERY rare if it even exists.

I know lots of places label it as 20x2.25 but it's just a 20x2.0.

lol
he wants one for a 20"
the onza sticky fingers is designed for what you want, but good luck
getting your hands on one in the US, i looked for a week straight and
could not get my hands on one, it is worth a try though

Yeah, a Sticky Fingers tire is the closest thing to a trials tire that
you can get for a 20" rim. BUT...it's 2.4 tire, so it wout fit in the
LX frame. Plus you would have to pay shiping from UDC UK or MDC

I think the Twenty-G is a 2.5, but that wouldn't fit in an lx frame. It
is slick, but it still looks good. Check out Spensor's twenty-g uni.
