Default Does UDC still have the Onza tire?


This is probably a stupid question, but their site only features the
Creepy Crawler as the standard replacement tire.

What's funny is that the tire in the picture is the Luna trials.

Anyways, I ordered an Onza through my bikeshop that should come in in a
day or two, and when I checked on my order they said everything went
through fine. They've called my house before when they said uni(dot)com
couldn't get me what I wanted. Hope I don't get a surprise.

I always thought that the Maxxis tire was second-rate for unicycles
because of the thin sidewalls.

Am I wrong?

Evan

if its a maxxis creepi crawler, that a great tire for trials, very very
good. But i haven't heard any bad things about Maxxis tires, they aren't
bad at all./

scarly fast.

Cracking off? If that is the case then send it back, that should never
happen with a tire.

I have the Maxxis Creepy Crawler and personally I am happy with it. The
sidewalls while not as stiff as the Monty Black wall tire are still
fairly stiff and the compound of the tire is extremely grippy. This does
cause the tire to wear down a bit faster than the Luna or Monty. Overall
I deffenatlly prefer it to the Monty Whiteline or the Luna as I love the
way the tire rebound feels on sidehops.

Personally I want to try Monty's new yellow line tires (I dont know
their official name) as well as the dual compound Onza

I like the creepy crawler. It has good grip and wears well. I've
ridden it a ton on my new onza trials and it still has the little
grippies on each tred. I expected it to be a softer rubber and wear
faster. It does fold a bit when I do side hops over two feet. But I
think that's from low tube pressure.

I have a maxxis, no pics, as it's not doing anything funny? It's wearing
down alright, but just give it a little twist and use a new bit (the
bottom was completely worn down), I used to have a luna and I thought it
was pretty sucky, the maxxis has way better grip, I'd advise it to
anyone. I always thought the luna was second-rate...
