Hi everybody

I've bought a 20" unicycle, without any information about sizes.
I'm 477 inch tall, and my weight is around 40 lb.

I'm just learning to stand up, but my tire is a little bit flat...:rolleyes:
To resolve i'm obliged to change my uni, with a 24"?

Can i mount a fat tire, instead of mine, until i'll learn to use it?
My actual tire is a 20 X 1,75 inch; a 20 X 1,95 or 2,1 it can be better?


Thanks, and sorry for my bad english :)

40lbs? i assume you mean 140lbs. but yeah you can mount a 21. or 2.2 tire on your current rim and as for learning to ride click the link in my sig line and read the posts

I say you switch to a beefyer tire like a trials tire or a high PSI free-style tire.. or even a 24" like you said everyler.. but make sure you get something with a tire higher then 2.1" wide.. well that's what I think..
