  1. Has anyone used a 20" freestyle wheelset in a KH trials frame? I now
    have the pieces to put together a 20" wheel using a Koxx One ISIS hub
    and am thinking about trying a different frame for it (currently have
    Nimbus X). I don't have the room or funds to have too many unicycles
    around, so this will have to be a sort of "do all" 20" for the moment.
    Sometime down the road I'll put together a trials wheelset, so I'd like
    to accommodate for that. If anyone has a picture of a freestyle
    wheelset in a KH frame I'd be very interested in seeing what the
    clearance around the tire looks like. I'm riding freestyle and mild
    street, so I'm looking for something relatively strong and light that
    will fit a tire possibly as large as the 20x2.35" Big Apple. The
    Nimbus X frame I'm using is fine, but I'm not sure if it will work with
    the Koxx hub and 42mm bearings or with the Big Apple tire. If anyone
    has any information on this, or has any other frame recommendations for
    my needs, I'd be glad to hear from you.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

  2. The Bearings will fit, this is something that has been talked about
    alot, the only worry would be the tire clearance, but I think you
    should be fine for that aswell. If you already have the frame though
    its something you could just go ahead and try.

    I believe that the 19 inch tire is actualy just a smaller rim and in
    the end the overall diameter of the inflated tire is the same but I may
    be wrong. Plus isn't the Kh frame big enough to accomodate a 2.7 inch
    tire? If so I would imagine that it could fit a 20".
