hey i wanto to be able to do tricks like the ones in street videos, like grinding and jumping on poles. what type of cycle would be the best one and where could i get one like it....right now i have a 20" torker TX

JUNGAUNI · 2006-05-21, 04:18 AM

if you mean torker dx then your set but the best streat uni is the kris holm one with a luna tire

20" Torker TX!!!

You learned on a girrafe!?!? I think you mean LX or CX.

But anyways, teh KH 20" trilas is the best uni out there right now for street. Its light and stronger than anything. For a budget you would wanna go for the 2006 Torker DX 20". Its heavy but string.

You'll want a splined hub because its the strongest and it wont break as easily.

do you know where i could get a 20" DX

trials_uni · 2006-05-22, 01:36 AM

Depends where you live..If you live in the states, any LBS should be able to order you one...If not in the states then UDC is your best bet.

haha yes i do

newguy · 2006-05-22, 03:26 AM

i could just order as is or should i also get bigger tires, and should i get the 20 or the 24... the stuff i am going to use it for is riding around town grinding, jumping and doing spins

trials_uni · 2006-05-22, 10:52 AM

If you want a street uni dont get that one...It wont fit the tires you need. get the 2006 model from UDC. ANd for street riding you'll want the 20" version.

why would you get the 2006 one... i think they have basically the same wheelset ... just diff colors
and the 06 is much more expensive

The 2006 DX has a real Trials wheel set, which is a much wider/stronger rim that specially fits trials tires.

You could probally do just fine with the older DX model. It depends on how high of drops you want to do on it. When I used to ride it, I went up to 5 1/2 foot drops on it.

newguy · 2006-05-23, 02:19 AM

should i get the 05 or 04 dx. what size tire does it have and should i buy a bigger tire?

trials_uni · 2006-05-23, 02:34 AM

If o5 and o4 are your only choices then get the o5. na you wont be able to put on a tire bigger than 2.2 at the most.

JJtheunicycle · 2006-05-23, 02:38 AM

i think the 06 DX, off UDC

newguy · 2006-05-23, 02:42 AM

can any one tell me what the difference is between an LX, DX, and CX is and what you would use them for and are any better that the other for certain things.

CX=piece of crap, just for learning, not very tough
LX=Good for learing freestyle tricks
DX=good for trials, drops, and hopping off/over stuff
