street?

I was interested in street unicycling and I have a trials with a 2.5 in
tire, is this good for street, or is a freestyle uni better?

Hey. Trials is definitely the way to go. The only street rider who
I've seen ride something smaller is Anthony Hibbing, who rides a triple
wall rim that has a 2.1 tire on it. And hes riding the new Kris Holm
hub/cranks. So hes still pretty beefed up. So yeah, Stick with trials
I'd say.

No, I believe that Shaun broke his DX..Now he has a Yuni with profiles
But i think he broke the frame so now he has the DX frame on the
profiles maybe? He said sometimes there is a bit of rub.

Shaun Johansen rides a Torker DX I think, and he's freaking GOOD.
but for the most part, yeah, it is easier with a 2.5" tire.

unispins than the DX.

Yeah, shaun has a 2.5 trials now. A quick search coukld find what he
said about it.

I ride street on a DX. Im soon getting a 2.5 trials', so i'll ride
street on both.


I think street is better on a 2.5, but this topic has been covered.

After thinking aabout it.. Street would be good on a DX if you did
street like shaun does. Not so much going huge* but doing techy stuff on
smaller sets. It sounds like a fair but light unicycle.

*Shaun goes big on alot of things. Don't take that wrong. Like double
digit rails(sets over 9) but he has told me he likes doing techy stuff
on smaller sets better.

yeah, i'm using koxx 110 cranks now, and i like them.

I think that having the bmx style rim and tire for street is much
better, everything is quicker and smoother which is what street is all
about. I think the reason why more people aren't riding on 2.10 and
narrower tires is because at first the tire feels really hard, and like
you couldn't jump very high. But once you get used to it I think people
will be able to rolling hop higher than with a trials tire( i know i
could).

So my recomendation would be to get, a splined hub(kh, quax, koxx,
profile) and lace it up to a good bmx rim(something double wall, or
triple wall)
