  1. Hi, well heres the thing, lately ive been thinking of buying a torker
    unistar dx but i am wondering how big of a tyre will fit in the frame. i
    know i can buy an onza sticky fingers tyre that is 20x 2.4 and it does
    fit on a normal 20" rim so thats no problem but i was wondering wether
    or not it will fit in the torker frame.

    any help is much apreciated.

  6. hey thankz for that redhead atleast someone will get off their ass to
    help a felow unicyclist. anyway how much clearance does the torker
    betwene the k rad tyre and the the top of the crown?

    also seeing you have a torker what do you use it for and what is it
    capable of like i was looking at doing sy 4 foot drops at the most
    extreme end of the scale so do u think it will hold up (i roll out of
    drops) ?

    also i read your sponsorship thread and aboutthe unispins well the way
    i learnt was i just started hopping seat out and put my hands on the
    saddle (left on front right on the right side of the back) if you
    hop (seat in) with your right hand on the front put your left on the
    back left and then just hop take ur feet off the pedals and get em
    out of the wat of the wheel and turn the uni around 180 degrees and
    land back on it will take some doing but you will eventually land it
    good luck!

  8. I have both a 20 and a 24 Torker DX with 20 x 3 Kenda Flame and a 24 x 3
    Gazz on them. A three inch tire fits fine with about a quarter inch at
    the top and about an eighth inch on the sides in both frames.

    I did not change out the rims, but I definitely need to on the 20 inch.
    When they LBS looked it up in the book, it said it was a Pyramid Flame,
    but the tire says Kenda Flame. On this too narrow rim, it doesn't have
    the flat shape it should have, but it works for my nonaggressive riding.
    I'm looking at the 20 inch Sun BFR rim.

    Anybody have any thoughts on this rim? I think this is the same rim
    that comes with the UDC BC wheel.

    If I upgrade the 24 rim, I will probably go with the Alex DX 32.

    what the F? maybe without a tyre it has 3 inches!

    does this look like 3 inches of clearance to you?

    I think not.

    It's high enough, too. There were at least two threads on this when the
    05s came out.

    On the 24", a 3 will (barely) fit.

  16. He knows about the 24X3".

    Aparently he doesnt about the 20". The 2005 20" frame has lots of
    clearence.

    caw89 put a 19" rim and 2.5" luna tire on a dx frame, he said it fit but
    occasionally rubbed on top. He has since gotten a yuni frame now, I
    beleive.

    But, a 2.5 trials will fit okay, a 2.4 should fit easy.

    yeah i made one of those threads...

    if a 19x2.5 trails wheel fits a 2005 20"dx then i must have an 04 dx so
    what-ever

    my 24 was an 05 for sure since i got a Gazz in there no prob.

  20. forrest was right, i had to buy a yuni frame for hte 20in model cause
    the width was fine but the top of it hit, which really suked! but i like
    hte yuni frame more anyways, its better for coasting and gliding and is
    lighter, only downside is i hit my knees on it and that HURTS! So te
    Torker frame is plenty wide enough, but not high enough, the 24 can I
    think hold a 3in, im not sure...
