  1. Hey everyone,
    I was wondering what size tube I should use for my trials uni. I've
    patched the tube that came with my Qu-ax 6 times and it has popped
    again. I tried a 2.125 but it seemed to pop easily because of it
    stretching too much. This is the biggest size Unicycle.com And all my
    lbs's carry. What do you guys think?

    I use a 2.125 and it works just fine for me.

    Trialsin.com

    Buy the 19x2.5 tubes. They are about 7 or 8 dollars.

  6. If you live anywhere near a motorbike shop you should go in there and
    see how much tubes are. I'm using a 19X3" tire, but I think a 16X2" or
    16X3" would be a better fit. Mine only cost me (AU)$12, and a regular
    2.125" is about (AU)$9.

    Yeah, just call him up.

    Or go for a motorbike tube, like mentioned above.

  9. tbh a 2.125 tube is fine, you just need to have it pumped quite hard and
    well it does pop every so often. But those motorbike tubes are real
    heavy.

    A car is really heavy, an elephant is really heavy. Motorbike tubes
    weigh a few hundred grams, so if you're a weight freak then yes it's
    heavy, but it's had negligible negative effects on my riding. I'm
    actually doing bigger stuff now because I know that I'm not gonna break
    this tube, where with the old 2.125" ones I'd be lucky if went a whole
    5 hours of riding without having to patch it up.

  11. the huge volume and lower pressure abilities have made my hop higher.
    Basically the volume cancels out the weight.

    wow chill dude, no need to go crazy on me. All i was saying is that
    i've ridden with both and i'd rather have a higher pressure in a 2.125"
    tube and live with it than get a motorbike tube with real low pressure
    but gain 500g. I aint a weight freak but those tubes are damn heavy.

    should fit perfect. i run a 14x2.5 i popped 12 tubes in 1 week... the
    tube i got was like $10

  17. oh and did i mention it is LIGHTER than a heavy duty bike tube.
    its like 2x the weight of a normal one, so it still weighs NOTHING.
