I’m looking to get a 20" trials uni at the end of this summer, and the KH seems like an attractive choice. The only problem I have with it is it seems to not have room for a tire bigger than the stock 2.5". Is this true? Is it even worth putting a 3" tire on a trials uni, or does the extra weight negate the added bounciness?
Are there any other solid trials unis I should be considering (under $500, cheaper is better)?
I dont think there are many 20x3 tires out there. Maybe just the stingray? There certainly arent any specifically for trials.
I prefer my 24x3 muni for trials and street over my trials. I prefer it because of the faster ride which is a result of wheel diameter and not tire thickness. A 20x2.5 is plenty bouncy.
The new KHs are just about the best trials rigs you can get before you start getting into custom unis. If youre shooting for the under $500 mark, the Kh is a very good choice.
I think I saw a 3.0 tire specificly designed for trials somewhere on this forum. But you guys thought it wouldn´t be any good beacuse of the extra weight.
you really don’t need anything bigger than a 2.5… with the posssible extra bounce you get, it cancils it out with the extra weight. And most importantly, if you run you psi low, a wider tire on a dx32 just means easier folding.
