is starting to get into trials and he's quite...

Yes it will. I've put up to 2.25 tires on an LX. The Maxxis MaxDaddy
seems to be the largest that will fit.

unicycling is not for clowns

I learned to ride when I was a kid. I was a member of a youth circus
group.

So I have easy responses to Are you in the circus?

Yeah, but I escaped, don't them though OK?

Nah, I got fat and old...

Bearing problem: Stuck/Shifted bearing

Take the crank arm off, get a deep well socket that just fits over the
axle and tap the bearing back down evenly. Using a screwdriver doesn't
put even pressure around it and will just tweak the...

How short shuld the seat post be

It all depends on your unicylce and your height. The seatpost on a 20"
unicycle is going to be longer than on a 26" for the same rider.

The seat post for a short rider is going to be shorter than...

UH OH! I better get into shape! This is right in my neighborhood, I'd

Muni Safety - do you carry a whistle?

So far I've not gone too far off the beaten path, but yeah, sounds like
a good idea.

Wheel size for 9 year old???

My son learned on a 20". I had to cut the frame down a bit to allow the
seat to go low enough, but that wasn't a big deal. He's still riding
it. I put a Maxxis Max Daddy 2.3 tire on it. The...

Backyard Trials-ish

Looks awesome!

Also VERY SMARTLY designed. Impressive that you figured out how to
make them modular so they stack and integrate with each other so you
can change up the "course" a bit.

Nice Job...

How can I convince my parents to let me buy a $400 unicycle?

Duro Wildlife Leopard air pressure?

Tire pressure is also very dependent on weight. Just experiment till
you find what works for you. It's just air, it's free :)

Will a Kenda Kolossal 2.6 or Nokian Gazzaloddi 2.6 fit on a lx?

We have a 2.3 Maxxis MaxDaddy on my son's LX20. There is just a tiny
amount of clearance at the top, it's not the sides that you have to
worry about.
