yer tyre is fat, but not the type that is any good for bounce
tyre is heavy
square taper hub = weak
uni will be heavy and weak, will not be strong enough for trials and
did i mention that tyre?]

frame, seat, seatpost, and clamp are probably the only half decent
things as far as trials goes

I rode a Sun like this. It was amazing, but heavy.

The ride was very smooth, but felt weird until I got used to it. Once I
did get used to it, I tried some hopping, and those tire have amazing
bounce, but its very sluggish to control while hopping.

Id rather stick to a trials uni, but these are fun to ride on.
Specially to wheelwalk.

Also, the cranks on here are cotterless, so dont expect any large drops
or compatibility with any other uni parts.

I agree with the other two, the tyre and rim on that uni are designed to
look cool on the back of a chopper bike, not be light and strong whihc
is what you need for trials. Also those wide tyres are an absalout
[censored] to turn on hard surfaces unless you pump them right up, really
hard work just to ride around on.

I found it to be very easy and smooth when I was riding the one I rode.
Must of been pumped up correctly. =p

Anyways, if people find it hard to ride 3" tires on pavement with low
pressure, then thing will be ten times harder then those muni tires.

The reason it will be bad for Trials is the wheel was designed for
looks, not strength. It might be a ton of fun to bounce around on,
until the wheel folds or the axle breaks. But it's not built for that
type of riding.

I now know why Tomsey is so good at backs. And why Shaun owns at normal
flips.
It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards. 😉 :p

It's probably a single wall rim... no good for trials.
