well you'll need a splined hub and crankset obviously...i recomend the
2005 KH/onza or profiles if you have the money. basically you want the
same setup as a trials uni. also i recomend using a luna for street or
getting a diferent tire and cutting the knobs off and smoothing the
tire for street.

Maybe get a Koxx devil. The only real difference between trials and
street is the pedals.

First off, would you want a 2.5 trials tire or not? If so, I suggest
looking around at unicycle.com, splined is the strongest by far, both
the Torker DX and the Qu-Ax trials are strong for a fair price.


If you don't think you'll need a knobby wide trials tire, you'll have
to put together a splined uni with a normal 20" rim (trials rims are
"19 inches") and a slick BMX street tire.

Or just buy an older Torker DX. It has the same cranks and hub as the
new one, but it has a 2.125"(?) tire instead of a 2.5 inch tire. They
are probably a bit harder to find, but they weigh less and are cheap.
They have pretty cheasy rims, though.
