Trials Tire
I'm looking for a new tire for my trials uni because my current Monty tire is getting pretty worn out. Can anyone give me a side-to-side comparison of different tires? What seems to be working for your trials uni? Thanks. -- uni412 - unicycle fanatic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uni412's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4707 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/37652 |

Just go witht he Luna. Slight changes in compund and tread are the only real differences. The monty had different sidewall strengths, but I hear they're no longer made. -- gerblefranklin - Trials Unicyclist http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Trials-Muni Nick's main man.

I have a Luna and its held/holding up pretty well, but I have no other experience with trials tires. I got it in April I think. Does any one know the differences between the Creepy Crawler and the Luna? They look like they have the same tread pattern but I can only tell from movies and pictures. Is there any thing else beyond the name and price?

Some of the guys with new KH Trials probably have ridden on the luna and the now equipped maxxis tire. *Waiting for someone to chime in* -- Bob22b - MCL Tearer :d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob22b's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8153 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/37652 |

Yeah the Maxxis Creepy Crawler has a significantly softer compound so it will wear down faster. On the other hand, it's FAR less expensive than a Monty and may well grip better on some surfaces. I think it would be a good tyre for urban (or just generally man-made) stuff. Andrew -- andrew_carter - Unicycling because it's really fun!

Andrew * I would think the contrary. I think the softer compound would be used on natty, since thats where you need the grip and also where there are less abrasive sections. The Luna wears relatively slow compared to all the other tires out there, and seems to grip just as well IMO. I'll be sticking with the Luna, although my new mod will be coming with echos, so I may give those a shot. -- TheObieOne3226 - Fo'shizzle, ma nizzle 'SWAT Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/SWAT) 'SWAT webpage' (singlewheeledattackteam.1hwy.com) AIM/ICQ:TheObieOne3226 Yahoo:TheObieOne3226 disclaimer: the above message was not intended to offend anyone. if you are offended i can take no responsibility for my actions because i don't feel like it. also you are reading an internet newsgroup where not everyone will share your same views and beliefs, be able to take criticism and post/read threads at your own risk.

There is also a Try All Tyre available at municycle.com, it seems to have a differant tread pattern, to most trials tyres, - more of a mountain bike tread pattern. 'check it out here' (http://tinyurl.com/3q2bf) anyone used one of these?

I can't explain why but it felt like it would stick well to concrete and metal surfaces. I will try it out for myself though. Maybe I'll try to pick one up tomorrow. Remind me to do so.
