I think its a luna. Lunas say Bike trials 20x2.5 on them. If it were a
creepy crawler it would say creepy crawler.

Is it a new uni?
I think the older ones may be different.

I don't think it's a Maxis creepy crawler as one of my friends has one
and i have compaired them.

I don't think it's a luna because one of my friends have one of them
too and they look different.

Did UDC or nimbus ever make a trials tyre for the older nimbus trials
uni's?

It's probably about a year old.

How many different levels of tire pressure did you experiment with? A
change in pressure might clear the creepiness right up...

I vote monty. monty tires say "bike trials 20x2.5" on the sidewall and
dont have a monty logo. you may also find "elite" written on it.

I think what you are feeling is the tire folding. put more air in it.

edit: john beat me to it

I'll write exactly what it say's.

"bike trials 20x2.50 (67-387)"
"FIT RIM HBX30"

I've studied the tyre and cant find any more writing.
It is a trials style tyre (19"😉.

I have ridden it with high pressure because i wanted it hard to
practice freestyle tricks like spinning.
I have also ridden it with softer pressure for doing rock trials.
Problem still occurs.

I'll do some experimenting with tyre pressure tomorrow.

onetrack: do monty also make a 2.50? I thought they only made a 2.70.
Learn something everyday!

It is the stock tyre that came with the unicycle so i'm gonna give my
local unicycle.com NZ an email.

Thanks for the replies.

It's hard to be sure because the photo doesn't show the tread pattern
very well, but i think you might be right.

There are a few parts that i can make out in the photo which match my
tyre such as the first and scond row of knobles dont match up, and the
pin stripe which goes around the tyre.

I wonder how Dan Heaton finds the outwards pulling nature of it.
Guess he wouldn't use it if he didn't like it.

Thanks heeps 😄

dan rides with insanely low pressure, his tire folds like none other,
and rims out on pretty much any hop. Also, it makes his uni hard to
ride, the tire seems to take you where it wants to go.

I way 80 pounds w/ shoes on though. if I have it any lower than 6 I
bottom out left and right, so I usually keep it around 6 to the higher
7's.

Hmm, I heard for every ten pounds, thats one psi, but thats for muni,
but it could stil work for you, so have you tried at 8? maybe 10?

At least if you get a flat you won't need a pump. You could just blow
it up again.

lol, I've tried 8 and 10. 10 alot too hard for me, at 8 I can manage,
but I have to do giant prehops onto everything. 6 to 7 is usually good.
6 if I'm jumping and 7 if I'm doing big drops.
