No, If you made a rim out of titanium bad things would happen. Its from
the Monty 221 TI bike. Which has some titanium components on it.

What kind of bad things? I don't see why a titanium rim would be bad?

I dont know much about titanium, so anyone here with any real knowlage,
correct me. But my understanding would be if you made two identical
rims, same weight, one aluminum one titanium the titanium one however
would have a higher tensile strength, it wouldnt be as stiff as the
aluminum, so you would get a lot of flex causing nipples to loosen,
spokes to break, maybe bending in the hub flanges. however i may be
wrong.

That's scary.

I assume it would be pretty hard to flat spot a titanium rim though.

if you remember FLEXON frames, for eyeglasses, those are PURE titanium

titanium is EXTREMELY flexible
if it is the right alloy it is stiff
if you break it, well its sharper than anything you want to touch.

thats my knowledge
ohh and it is very good w/ weather/exposure to elements

if you had titanium spokes would the spokes flex with the rim a little
bit and thus not break?

What if I built a unicycle frame out of titanium? Do you think that
would be a bad idea? I plan on building a frame for a Large Marge and
Endomorph combo possibly... Titanium sounds bad though.

Yes, I will be able to weld it, I will be learning to weld aluminum,
stainless, and titanium at my welding school this semester.

Dan Heaton has had Ti frames...I think he has one on his muni now and
he had one on his trials uni that he rode in U2 I think then Zack
Baldwin got it and rode it in Defect and now Isaac LeMasters has it.

Oh and I am pretty sure Miyata sells freestyle unis with Ti frames.

Welding titanium requires quite a rage of specialized tools, even more
so than to weld steel or aluminum, And certainly more skill. Your best
bet would be to find some titanium tubing for your legs and seat tube,
and rig up a crown to secure them together out of a material you can
better deal with than titanium.

A good source for general information on steel, aluminum, titanium and
carbon fiber, check out this page on sheldonbrown.com 'Here.'
(http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-materials.html) On a side note,
titanium costs a [censored] load.

You left out the Alex DX 32 and the Nimbus.
Good list though.
EDIT: the Luna's not there either.

I couldnt find the lunas weight, basicly no one uses it in the bike
trials community.

Alex 19" - 17.98 oz

Are lunas even made anymore? No biketrials people that we have talked
to have even heard of them. I think Darren is the only one that still
has them.
The weight of the nimbus rim isn't posted on udc.
