bigger tire

well if you dont have teh extra widness of the tryall rim then i wouldnt
recomend the that tire nayways...which rim do you have...iv you have a
dx 32 the you could get a 20x2.5 ut the 2.7 may fold a bit even on that
rim.

ok well thats fine...you would have to get the monty 20x2.7 from out of
country cuz they dont make it here and you will need a tryall rim for a
tire of that girth

it might not be just for trials. get a 24 inch surly. that tire's 3.7
inches wide. or get one of those homemade ones with that 4+ inch tire
off a wla-mart cruiser bike.

I don't think you'll want to get too carried away if you want a tire for
trials. Bigger is probably better to a point, but eventually it'll
just become excess weight.

I'm not sure what's wrong with a good ol' 2.5" trials tire. I can hang
onto ledges with less than half my tire on them with my Luna. Same
with the Duro Wildlife Leopard (they say it's 3", but they're lying).

The size of the tire doesn't matter at all, what matters is how bouncy
the tire is without bottoming out on the rim. For the past weak I have
been doing trials on an old bmx tire as my trials uni is getting powder
coated. A smaller tire can actualy be helpful because you can turn alot
easier and there is less rolling resistance making it easier to go
faster quicker. I still prefer my luna but it just goes to show that
its not the size of your tire that matters, its how you use it :p

tru...ntappin is right...you could to trials on a 2" tire too. you would
just flat spot alot of rims.

If you have a decent rim and enough pressure in your tire you should
never flat spot rims.

yea but look at a Muni, they have dx32 and Kh rims that are 39 and 42mm
wide and are supporting 3.0" tires

Musketman, Muni has different tire needs than pure trials.

In Muni there's a lot more rolling over stuff than trials, and a big
(and not just) wide tire helps a ton with that.

In trials, you've got more hopping, so you need a mix between big and
bouncy and relative lightness. So far, I'm thinking a 20x2.5 fits the
bill pretty well.

I know that a trials tire doesn't really need to be any bigger than 2.5,
but i was just trying to point out that if u were going to get a bigger
tire a dx32 or KH rim would be fine, *because most Muni rims are dx32's
and KH rims.*

Here is a funy joke for all the unicyclists out there.
How do you put a fat tire on a diet?
Simple! With your finger, you poke the valve and let some air out!😄
