Yea could someone post a moto tube that you definately know will fit a unicycle.

Instead of solid tubes, why don't you go tubeless? If you use a Stans no-tubes kit it has a latex sealant that instantly plugs holes if you get thorns in the tyre.

It will be much lighter than a solid tube!

Do a search...plenty of info on going tubeless

A 16X2" motorcycle TUBE WILL NOT WORK EFFICIENTLY IN A TRIALS SETUP
trials rims are 15" diameter, which is how motorcycle tubes are measured.
that tube is a good size for a bmx bike tube.
i use a 15x2.75-3.0 or 3.0-3.25 i do not suggest going any bigger than that. the 2.75-3.0 is the ideal tube for our use.

i have gotten one pinchflat... to flat ground off a decent drop w/ around 10 psi...
i have destroyed a rim (including huge flatspots) with one tube ... and i still use the same tube in my uni now.

my mistake... thought I saw you post somewhere about using a 16x2 in a trials setup.

Do you still recommend this over a regular trial tube?

i've popped a brand new regular tube within 5 mins... 4 times in a row...
needless to say i was pissed enough to dump the $$ on a motorcycle tube.

You popped your tube, took off your wheel, took off the tire, patched the tube, put it all back together, rode hard enough to pop your 'properly' inflated tire and repeat that 3 more times all within 5mins?

Uh huh.

they are really tuff... if it's for a 20" unicycle go with a 16" x 2" tube, it will fit just right and have no problems as far as punctures goes.

You should know lots of people here will call their trial unicycle a 20". Gotta be more specific or someone will die.

stop trying to sound so smart and realize that you don't know everything...
i popped the tubes within 5 mins of getting them properly installed... not all within 5 mins the way you put it, and i had a bunch of brand new tubes laying around to fix my bikes...
