  1. Hi!

    1. What's the biggest tire (2.25" upwards) that fits 16" rims?
    2. What rim would I need for such a tire ; what are the widest rims
    available in 16"?
    3. what are the shortest cranks that fit profile/kh/koxx hubs?

    jabbath 🙂

    Although the Alex x rim is available in 16" it's a road rim so that
    might not be too crash hot for trials.

    That tyre is 2.125 which is close

    thats all i had time for, probably isnt a help but there it is.
    what do you want a 16" trials unicycle for, 20" is much mroe standard
    and would be better i think.

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  3. Evan tried that a while ago, maybe he can help. That was back when he
    was "total_uni"

    I think finding short enough cranks was the problem with the idea + it
    would be very slow.

  4. I think the rim would be the hardest thing to find. For the cranks i
    suggest koxx isis 110m cranks. You would probly find some kind of
    wheel barrow tire.

    Why not LONGEST(functional) cranks?

    I have learned on 16" and it is the one which I have tried to modify(in
    my ignorance)
    The biggest fun I had with 11,5 cm cranks.
    Those cranks deliver relatively smooth performance and still allow for
    turning.😉

    Or doing trials without your unicycle? you will be able to jump MUCH
    higher!

    You'd have _no_ need for a splined hub for a little sister, just go
    with regular cranks and a wide-ish rim for trials.

  14. Yes, use a normal 16" wheelset and a tyre like the jumping Jack from
    Schwalbe . It should work fine upt to 30 or 40 kg.
    Its also much more easy to handle for a litle child than a 16" Trial.
    A 20" Quax muni with a maxxis for example bounces my daughter and not
    she the muni 🙂 Now she use a normal 20" Rim and a Jumping Jack
    (20x2,1) and it works fine to start.
