  1. Hey I have a 20" by 1.75" tyre at the moment and i really want to get a
    thicker tyre so i can do more trials stuff but im not sure whether to
    get just the 20" by 2.75" tyre or a whole new wheel.
    My friend had the exact same uni as I have now and all he bought was a
    thicker tyre nd stuck with everything else that he had. He said it fit
    but I don't know whether to trust him.
    Any suggestions?😕

  5. the reason i was asking is because i dont know if the tire can fit in
    your frame anyway. And i dont think there is a 20 by 2.75 tire. If
    there is its that koxx tire...try all?..maybe? Maybe u meant 20 by
    2.5?

    But anyway what kind of uni you have?

  7. you may need to get a 19" rim, in which case you could get a trials
    tire.

    No, you can use the same tube. It's fine, trust me, I've done it.

  11. it'll fold over on a skinny learner's rim though
    it'll be really bad, u might as well save up and get the uni in your
    avatar
    otherwise you'll have to upgrade the rim on your learner's, and then
    you'll have the trials tire and then break your cranks, so u might as
    well get a whole trials uni :-)

  13. I don't think my dad wants to pay $795 for a trials uni even if it is
    the best! I'll ask him tho.

  14. well u can also get a cheaper one, but make sure you still get splined
    cranks, unless you weigh under 100 pounds or so

    but the KH is definitely awesome, i love mine

    Qu-Ax and Torker both make cheaper splined models than the KH, much
    cheaper in fact (the torker DX, NOT the lx, is splined)

    good luck!

  15. A 2.5 trials tire WILL NOT fit on a regular 20" rim, you need a special
    19" rim. I recomend getting a 2.25 bmx tire like the maxxis max daddy.

    If you want to get into trials and want to buy a trials uni with a
    thick tire , get a nimbus trials for $325 and upgrade to Koxx or
    KH/onza hub and cranks later on if you need it.

  17. sorry about the late post, but wen u sed the 2 x 2.75 there is a tyre
    out there other than the koxx that fits those measurements and that is
    the new Monty tyre !!!

  20. true true...
    "should be used with a wide rim."
    lol, i dont know what a "wide rim" is, but i guess it could mean any
    trials rim?
