What is the strongest 24" aluminum rim that will hold a 3" tire at a
reasonable price (under $50)? I need someting that will hold up to a lot
of beating. It doesn't need to have smooth breaking. It also has to have
36 nipple eyelets. Thanks for your help.

P.S. What is the exact size of the rim?

A Kris Holm Freeride rim should do you about 30 bones damage. Thats
really very cheap.

Just so you know the new KH rims seem to be having some problems. Up in
toronto Bedford had 2 or 3 where the sidewall on the rim had failed (all
were on 19" rims). I believe that there was someone else who did a drop
and blew out the sidewall of one of these rims as well.

Not to say anything bad about kris' products but they are a first gen.
product at this point and you have been warned.

Cheers
Mike

There is no reason for any concern over these rim failures, since all
the rims with this particualar defect have been shipped to taiwan to be
replaced, and if you buy a rim from now on, it won't have that problem.
I think the KH rims are better than the DX-32 since they don't seem to
go out of round (flat spots) as easily.

I'm on my first ever trials uni, with a DX-32. What does "go out of
round" mean?

I've heard the people talk about getting flatspots on skateboard
wheels...but in terms of a rim, how long and how much abuse would I have
to put on my rim to notice this? I haven't had/ridden on it six months
yet (and I'm more concerned with ups, because drops aren't as technical
around here). Is this something that can be fixed or prevented with
radial truing, and/or crank rotation every so many rides?

I figure I should know these things as my skills increase, because I've
not given much thought to unicycle maintenance yet:(­

Is the only real diffrence between a freestyle and trails uni the tire?
It doesn't seem like much else is changed.
Thanks

They would have a different hub; high end trials would have a stronger
hub then freestyle, and sometimes more aggressive pedals. But basically
I guess it’s the tire and tire pressure on a lower end unicycle.

Trials unicycles have a 19" trials rim and a special fat tire that fits
that rim. Overall wheel diameter is about the same as a regular 20"
freestyle wheel.

Freestyle unicycles us a regular 20" BMX rim and a regular 20" BMX
tire.

You cannot fit a 20" BMX tire on a 19" trials rim. You cannot fit a 19"
trials tire on a 20" BMX rim.

To confuse matters the 19" trials tires say 20 x 2.50 on their
sidewalls. They are not a 20" tire no matter what the sidewall says.

A Trials unicycle is more specialized than a Freestyle one. In other
words, you can do some pretty serious Freestyle on any old "regular"
unicycle. But if you used the same unicycle for some serious Trials,
you'd destroy it pretty fast. The most important different (at least on
the higher-end ones) is the crankset. Then the tire/rim, then the
pedals.

One modification you might want to make for a Freestyle uni is to remove
the handle from the front of the seat. This can get in the way for some
tricks. A bumper without the handle is better.

Other differences include:
1. Crank length. Freestyle unis have shorter cranks.
2. Frame. A freestyle frame usually has a square crown which is very
close to the tire to make gliding and stand-up skills easier. It should
also have a long neck, to get the seat post clamp out of the way for
various skills.
3. Pedals. Freestyle unis should always have plastic pedals with no
pins.
