Strange expression. It must be ahead if its ass can be kicked. :-)

Trev
Ok, trev!

I get your point! If the tyre is running really low psi, it does for like a bag of.

But a hard tyre can be really fast, and handle well!

I only used my trials while my freestyle was out of action, and found it fine.

Yes, the freeestyle is faster, but just because it has 125 cranks!

I do find the freestyle easier for doing tricks on, though. It is much lighter, but if the freestyle is not to hand, tricks can be done on the trials.


Joe,

You can do freestyle on a Trials if you want

You can do Trials on a MUni if you want

You can do MUni on a 29r or even a Coker if you want

The underlying theme is back to my earlier thread on "If you could only have one Uni, what would it be?" (The MUni won out, by the way, because it was the only unicycle that could bridge all gaps into all disciplines. It wouldn't be great at anything but MUni, but would be possible in the others)

But the mighty CCCP is defunked. So you can have, and will want, a uni for every occasion. No one can ride just one oner.

And with a trials uni you can jump over other players without worrying of breaking the cranks.
