  1. I was looking for different types of trials tires on this website, for
    when I buy a backup tire. What are the different types of unicycle
    tires, which is the best, how much does it cost, which is best for the
    cost?

  2. There are extremly few mod tires.

    Off the top of my head:

    Monty
    Echo
    Try-all
    Luna
    Maxxis

    Screw mod unis, Go bmx, a khe tires is a pound and a half less than a
    mod tire. Plus 100 psi rides sooo smooth...

    why do u need a backup tyre? I mean u need backup inner tubes, but when
    ur tyre is worn u order a new one, a few days wont matter too much will
    it?

    sorry if this is dumb but i dont see the point in stocking a tyre for
    no reason...

  6. Well I've had no problems with my try-all tire. It's great for
    trials/street riding and doesn't wear down fast at all. Bounces great
    and it just looks cool😎

    I actually have a back up maxxis cc tire. I'm going to use it once I'm
    done with my try-all, witch may take a while but atleast I'll know
    which one's right for me.

    Theres a thread on here somewhere thats exactly what you need, I'm too
    lazy to use the search feature, and I'm guessing you are too. So just
    search around and I'm sure you'll find it

  7. haha

    yeahhh
    i havn't worn down a trials tire completely yet. the one on my DX was
    almost there, but not quite. the one on my KH is almost there as well..
    they take forever to wear down...
    you definitely don't need a backup, but some people prefer the LUNA
    over the CC and the monty is an awesome tire so-i-hear

  8. trial tyres do wear down pretty quick. I was very dissapointed in the
    monty eagle claw, was just like a maxxis CC pretty much no difference.
    I might try get hold of an echo tyre, i got told by a trials biker they
    are really bouncy.

    Are you recommending this for street -and- trials, or just street?

    i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
    biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed

    The old Echo tyres were very bouncy, the white striped SupaTrial ones.
    Hence why those few biketrials riders who have them in the UK use them
    over other tyres.

    the newer blank black Echo tyres are similar, but the sidewalls are
    thicker and the tyre is stiffer overall. The bounce is OK, nothing too
    special. The compound is 'meh' for trials, it is not too grippy. But I
    suppose this tyre would be a nice alternative for street riders.

  11. http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64227

    Would this tire (Kenda Flame) make a good trials tire. I currently have
    a maxxis creepy crawler, and (for some crazy reason) cannot see the
    point of having a knobby tire for urban trials riding. Would a smooth
    tire, having more contact with the road, be a better choice than a
    knobby tire, if all I ever plan to ride is urban trials?
