    don't know but it is a alex dx 32 and it is about 38mm
    32mm is a 20" rim. (not 19"😉

  6. CC folds easily on a DX rim cause those rims are slimmer.

    Although, I dont fold with my CC on the Alex32 rim. Must be your riding
    style and how you land.

    Anyways, riding in the cold will dampen your tires spring, to almost
    all tires. Try this, dont rely on the spring of your tire to jump, and
    get better at hopping without it.

  8. When you're hoppinhg sideways the tire bends/folds around the rim. It's
    usually because there either isn't enough air in the tire, or the rim
    is too skinny.

    It pedending on how bad it folds over, and if you're expecting it or
    not, it can take out a lot of your distance, or you can just bail.

    I agree with Jerrick. It's the temperature's fault. A good way to
    practice trials is acctualy to fill up your tire so that when you hop
    it feels literaly like a brick (but dont blow it out) and practice on
    that. I do it sometimes and it really helps. You learn to rely on
    tucking and stuff other than tire spring.
