trial rim size?
just a question about the rim/tire size on trials...
they're advertized on UDC as a 20" trials, but then it says the rim/tire size is 19"? most say they come with a maxxis creepy crawler 19x2.5 but on maxxis.com they only offer the creepy crawler in a 20x2.5 so which is it? 20" or 19"? thanks! october |

the size of the wheel is measured by the outside of the tire for some weird reason. the mod bike "trials" wheels use a slightly smaller rim which is still called a 20" because of the massive tire used. the technical size is 20 but most people call it a 19 so you won't be confused as to why you can't get your bmx tire on it.

so,
basically, you couldnt put a creepy crawler on a 20" rim, or a 20" tire on a 19" rim? |

Yeah...Any tire that says 20x2.5 will most likely only fit a 19" rim and regular tires wont fit the 19" rim
