Default Another confusing eBay offer...


Can anyone figure out what size this Torker is?

http://tinyurl.com/apu43

The title claims it's a 20"er but it looks like a 24"er (and the
description includes a 24" tire).

This is a great price and my girlfriend is pining for a 24" DX so please
don't buy 'em all before I get my hands on one

If you measure a "24" " rim it measures about 20"

if that was true, why would they call it a 24"?

Is that because it is for a 24" tire?

I think this is the same add I saw for a 24 but modified to work for a
20. I think they just missed the 24 inch tire when they where modifying
it... I think.

$25 for shipping seems sort of on the hefty side in my opinion.

I haven't read the fine print but I believe this is a prerequisite to
selling anything on eBay

He's clearly selling a 24" or 20" unicycle. Why are you guys so
confused?

It's a great deal for either, but I believe it's a 24. If the guy
measured the rim and didn't know any better he would say it was 20".
