Smile Torker DX 20" or 24"

Hey does anyone know what size of tire I should get if I buy a Torker DX. The 20" or the 24". Right now I have a Torker LX 24". I like to MUni and freestyle. I want to get a new Uni next year when I will be better and have more money.

Well, it depends on what you like more. If you like freestyling more, get the 20"....you can muni on it, but it will be harder. If you like Muni-ing more, get the 24"...in the same way, freestyling stuff can be learned on it, but it will (probably) be harder.

Just noticed this was your first post...welcome to the forums!

Will my unicycle take more of a beating MUniing or riding freestyle?

hehe. What do you think?

Definitely Muni...the DX is a strong uni though, and it should be able to handle just about anything a new rider does to it...

I have no idea....in all honesty, just about the only thing I could recommend that you do, just because I'm not that experienced with anything other than a DX, is to just save up for the DX, and don't spend any more on your LX

So you definately think the DX is worth $300 (at bikers edge. Or is there someplace where they sell it cheaper?
