20 x 4 1/4 tire
Did anyone already post about this tire size?
http://schwinnstingray.com/detail-tire.html I was in Toys R Us last week and saw this tire on the bicycle and had to see what size it was. My memory may have faded. It was either 20 x 4 1/4 or 20 x 4 1/2. It's on the new Schwinn Stingray bicycle. It is low profile and wide like a motorcycle tire. Not sure how good it would be for trials. The spoke nipples don't go down the middle of the rim, They alternate off center. Sure would make a funky unicycle if a frame was made for it.

There was a thread a little while ago about this bike and tire. I would like to see one, but i don't know what good it would be on a uni. I think if it were a tad larger, and fairly well made, it would make a nice beach cruiser.

unicycling changed my life. . .

Last friday i was part of a joint purchase of a new Sting Ray bike. The size of the frame is 20", and the bike is pretty small, despite the fact that it's 6 feet long! I have heard that Schwinn will be making a limited production 26" frame bike in june and i really would recommend buying one to anyone who likes cruising and relaxing.
The ride is very smooth, and when i rode it with my uniing buddy, people were noticing the crazy bike before the uni!!! Definitely a rad chopper!! -Josh

In my opinion, this bike is super uncomfortable to ride. A guy around my house bought one and let me take a test ride, and I have to say I didn't like it. Its seems like it's "fashion over function." Granted, its a sick looking bike, and the back tire would make an insane uni, its just an uncomfortable bike.
