  4. Probably from the slight angle of how the picture was took.

    A lot of people complain about how there is too much clearence, but
    that shouldnt matter at all because its a trials uni. =p

    My friend has a Norco M-Uni 20", and his tire is off center about 1/8"
    due to the wheel builder not perfectly truing it... he rides my Uni
    with the nice straight wheel and he turns to one side all the time
    because of his wheel ๐Ÿ™

    But people use trials unis for street and sometimes that includes
    freestyle kind of stuff. It also would suck more for trials with a
    higher crown because it would hit your knees easier.

    Thats true, but the clearance isnt much of an issue unless your gliding
    or doing standup tricks really.

    Im not sure about hitting the knees though, cause I have never done it
    on any of the unis I have rode on, neither have my friends. I can see
    how it can happen easier with a higher crown, but simple adjustments is
    all you need to make sure your knees dont get hit.

    That sucks. One time I had to use a really small tube for my tire until
    I had a good replacement, but the tube was deformed and would be off
    centered now matter what I did, so it just made my whole uni lean to
    one side, so I had to lean to the right to counter it. It even happened
    if I barely pushed it with my hand, you would feel it being pulled to
    the left.

    Odd, I laced my wheel and it's only off center where the rim has dents
    in it ๐Ÿ˜„

    Old crappy BMX rim I laced onto the Uni hub, it came with no rim,
    spokes, or tire.

    that came with it originally.

    to just fool around and do wheel walks and stuff. also when i go one
    footed i just stick my foot out to the side instead of on the crown. oh

    I did that even with the frame that had less clearance, it just takes
    practice. When you are pulling your foot up pull it up to the point
    where it feels excessively high and it will be in the right spot. Keep
    doing that and you will get used to it and it will come naturally.

    You dont need the frame when doing a WW. Both feet are on the tire and
    dont go up onto the frame.

    It could be the frame that is off center and not the wheel. Flip the
    wheel around in the frame. If the wheel leans to the same side then
    it's the frame and not the wheel.

    There are also spacers on the hub to position the bearings. Make sure
    the spacers are the same on both sides of the hub and that the bearings
    are pressed snug against the spacers. If there is an extra spacer or
    something between the hub body and the bearing then the wheel is going
    to be off center. Not likely that is the problem, but it's worth
    checking. You'll have to pull the cranks and bearings off the hub to
    check.

    When I first tried to onefoot this thing, I was surprised at how easy
    it was compared to my brother's LX. I saw the exsessive frame clearance
    but it doesn't effect my one footing.
