  1. I have heard you can use moped tubes for trials unis. Could you also
    throw on a moped tire and make a kickin' street uni? If not, what size
    moped tube should be used?

  2. i doubt a moped tire would bouce enough. nor would it fit on a trials
    rim. the moped tube is super heavy duty and helps with folding. i
    should look into it as i'm big and fold a lot.

  3. im not sure about a moped tire

    (i love mopeds)..anyways

    yesturday i was thinking about how people ramp dirtbikes 2 incredible
    hieghts and there rims dont bend and there tires dont go flat

    i was thinking that a dirt bike with added bearings would make great
    for muni or trials

    but then again i could be loony

    It would be ridiculously heavy though. The 3" downhill bike tyres are
    heavy enough.

    The reason a lot of dirtbikes don't bend rims or have soft tyres is
    because they have suspension.

    for a unicycle the only suspension is the tyre so I don't think that
    using a dirt bike tyre would be much use.
