trial tire vs. freestyle tire

littleman · 2007-07-27T19:15:04+00:00

I'm buying the torker dx but I'm not sure wether to buy it with the tire or not. I don't ride on anything but concrete or asphalt. I have a real slick freestyle tire right now that helps me turn better but will the creepy crawler help me with trial. And also my freestyle tire is a 20" will it fit the 19". -- littleman Yes I do ride unicycles!

slick freestyle tire right now that helps me turn better but will the

will it fit the 19".

Yes, if you are going to start doing trials than you would be better off
to keep the tire they sell you with the unicycle on. I am not sure
about the tire size but I dont think a 20" tire will fit a 19" rim.

The freestyle tire will not fit the 19" trials rim.

It's the Try-All tyre with the knobs cut/shaved off. It's becoming
increasingly popular but the only way to get one is to do it yourself.

Well thats what im getting at, you can't buy tyres like that 🙁
Its a try-all tyre shaved down, street riders do it for a smoother ride
whilst keeping the high volume & bounce... i dunno how u shave em
you'll have to ask someone else!!

Sharp knife should cut softer ones off (stanley knife) but my mate used
a hack saw for the same job on a MTB, a coping saw should do the trick
as well.. (heat it up first a little it will be easier to cut)

Hah! You flimsy 19" trialsists! I've got a Hookworm tyre on my 24" and
it's the best tyre I've ever had! Excellent control and grip. It's got
some bounce too, but I don't use it. I've done drops up to 1.2m with it
with absolutely no problems. And it looks cool.
I don't think there's a 19" version.
