street?

Hey. Trials is definitely the way to go. The only street rider who
I've seen ride something smaller is Anthony Hibbing, who rides a triple
wall rim that has a 2.1 tire on it. And hes riding the new Kris Holm
hub/cranks. So hes still pretty beefed up. So yeah, Stick with trials
I'd say.

No, I believe that Shaun broke his DX..Now he has a Yuni with profiles
But i think he broke the frame so now he has the DX frame on the
profiles maybe? He said sometimes there is a bit of rub.

Shaun Johansen rides a Torker DX I think, and he's freaking GOOD.
but for the most part, yeah, it is easier with a 2.5" tire.

Yeah, shaun has a 2.5 trials now. A quick search coukld find what he
said about it.

I ride street on a DX. Im soon getting a 2.5 trials', so i'll ride
street on both.🙂

I think street is better on a 2.5, but this topic has been covered.

After thinking aabout it.. Street would be good on a DX if you did
street like shaun does. Not so much going huge* but doing techy stuff on
smaller sets. It sounds like a fair but light unicycle.

*Shaun goes big on alot of things. Don't take that wrong. Like double
digit rails(sets over 9) but he has told me he likes doing techy stuff
on smaller sets better.

yeah, i'm using koxx 110 cranks now, and i like them.

I think that having the bmx style rim and tire for street is much
better, everything is quicker and smoother which is what street is all
about. I think the reason why more people aren't riding on 2.10 and
narrower tires is because at first the tire feels really hard, and like
you couldn't jump very high. But once you get used to it I think people
will be able to rolling hop higher than with a trials tire( i know i
could).

So my recomendation would be to get, a splined hub(kh, quax, koxx,
profile) and lace it up to a good bmx rim(something double wall, or
triple wall)

Yo,

Trials uni's are awesome for street. If you're into the bigger drops,
sets, stuff like that, the tire really provides a comfortable landing.
Whatever size tire you use (seems like really fat or kinda fat are both
good) make sure you have a strong hub. But that was all ready covered,
lol.

I'm currently riding a profile hub and cranks, viscount seat, DX frame,
since I broke my yuni frame. Just to clear that up, and the rubbing
stopped. haha, friction wore it away, lol.

Getting into street? Right on, good luck, I wish the best, it's a rad
style but has bad falls sometimes. Just make sure you shread. Whatever
you're doing. Laters

I down right suck at street so im not much to be talking but i find the
1.95 tire great for street, its smoother, the 110 psi makes everything
so smooth, I have riden my yuni trials and my street uni on the same
stuff and i can rolling hop just as high on the street uni, also with
the 110 cranks you can build up hella alot of speed tward say a stair
case or if your good a handrail.

I would say 110 or 125 cranks on a 2.5 trials would be best.
Specifiaclly straight cranks, IE no Q-factor.
