Could this be a street uni?

Yup, that wheel is all show and not meant to be pounded on. The axle and
cranks are just basic stuff so the same basically applies to them as
well. Keep it for cruising and get a separate one for Trials. Otherwise
that one will be damaged, and eventually you'll have to get a separate
one for Trials anyway.

Street unicycles are PREFERABLY very menouverable and light so you can
zip around.

How about this for a street unicycle?

That unicycle isn't particulary strong although I hear they are a very
big seller in Germany.

They would be good for unispins and rougher flatland though. I believe
its the hub that is weaker than most....I think.

I think is more a street unicycle then to try it as a trials as you can
see here.

^I've got one of them. They're not really suitable for trials really...

You can either buy a few things for it (mainly a tyre and rim) or
simply buy a new unicycle and keep that one laying around.

Since trials unicycles are pretty expensive, if you wanted to just
spend a little and upgrade that unicycle, you need a new tyre and rim
(a rim to hold the tyre) at the very least.

RECOMMENDED things (anything that's for trials unicycles will do on
unicycle.com really)
RIM http://tinyurl.com/y6nrgr

TYRE

It's tops £50 but it's important to remember that that setup is not
invincible. It'll break when you start doing bigger stuff it's going to
break eventually.

PM me if you have any questions or just post 🙂

Hmmm, that's interesting... It's hard to find a balance for street
unicycles, strength or menouverability.

Well if you're willing to spend, it's simply KHU. Street trials doesn't
matter, it only takes alittle bit of getting use to. If nothing else
the most important thing is the splined hub or something like that (New
model of KHU). The size of the tire is important but not so much as the
hub. You'll only bend the rim if YOU land wrong, the hub will break no
matter how you land if it's at a certain hight (that's not having the
splined hub). Street on the other hand, the hub is most important again
since with a smaller wheel thickness you could actually do nice
unispins with quick flips. But I would consider it more for tech street
and anything small than a 4 set. Unless your tire is filled like mad.
