  1. A friend of mine wants to start doing some light muni, so for now he
    plans on only upgrading the tire and pedals. I did a search and found
    nothing. Does anyone know the maximum tire size that fst in a 24"
    TorkerLX frame?

    Much Thanks,
    Eric

    Whoever finds the answer gets either: A cookie, some root beer(of your
    choosing) or a free gmail account.

  2. It only accepts up to 2.3" by 24"

    I'll take the root beer.

    He already owns an LX, and I want to be able to do muni with the kid, so
    he figred a new tire and some grippy pedals would do him good until he
    can fully upgrade.

    a frosty root beer waiting... What kidn would you like???

  5. I'll take that root beer any time.
    here's some proof if you want it:

    The DX has the same frame as the LX, and 'here'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=765) is the specks on
    that.

    The DX allows a 2.3" tire, but I doubt the LX does. Based on measuring
    my LX, I think it might accept a 2.0" tire, although I haven't tried it
    yet.

    I'm sorry but uni.com is not always right. I can compair them pretty
    easly if it comes down to it my one friend has a LX frame and my other
    has a DX. Look at the link Jagur totally put a gazz in a DX without
    alturing it. Dude I'm right. Your "[censored]" smells like your wrong.

  11. sorry, unicycle.com is my main source, if they are wrong, then my [censored]
    is wrong, but I am never wrong (I don't give 100% backing to my [censored],
    after all, it's [censored]).

  12. I think the new 2005 DX frames may be different than the previous
    version of the DX frame. Make sure you know what generations of frames
    you're comparing if you're going to compare the LX and DX frames for
    tire clearance.

    I didnt think of that. The frames I would compare are '04s. Jagur's
    pretty sure it was an '04. I think they would have only made them the DX
    wider then before if anything. Does any one know if they did make any
    changes to the frames?

  14. i got it in 2004 but only a month or 2 ago. so they either made the legs
    longer late in the year or i got an earley 05 model, either way a Gazz
    3.0 fits a Torker DX frame now so dont buy an old 2004 model off ebay
    or where-ever if you want to run a Gazz.
