  1. i see that the Monty tyre isnt available on unicycle.com anymore or at a
    couple other places. is it no longer the "best"

  2. koxx-one's tyre, try-all seems to be good too, but Luna is defently the
    best. Havn't you read what unicycle store's write about them?

    "The tyre used by Dan Heaton to help him get those mega jumps as seen in
    the UNiVERse Video"

    Man, it really helped me to get higher jumpes.

    Over the seas it is. I tryed to get one here and it all cost lots... or
    was that the sticky fingers... oh well creepy crawler is great. Its got
    more bounce and sticks better then the luna. I never tryed the try-all
    though so I cant say who is better there.

    *Maxxis?*


    No. Well not in my opinion anyway. I tried one, and was quite
    impressed by its grip on most surfaces, but it's sidewalls are just too
    thin. I can't think of any unicycling application that it would be more
    appropriate for than others since there is always a lot of sideways
    force involved and it folds too easily.

    It is cheap and grippy though.

    Don't bother, they are too light-duty.

    I'm not sure if thats actually a new monty tire. Nobody I have spoken to
    in the trials community knows anything about a new monty tire. Also it
    looks the same. If you measure the old Monty's, they were about 2.7''
    wide, same with Luna's. So it's probably the same old Monty tire, just
    made with 2.7 printed on them instead of 2.5.

    good to know. Is that meaning they wear out too quickly or the side
    walls are too thin and you get tire flop? or yet something else?

    I have one on my bike. It is built to be a light tire and because of it
    suffers from weak bounce due to thin sidewalls.
