Review: Unicycle friendly - Nice tyre, fitted to my unicycle in order to replace an mtb tyre. I’m riding on tarmac/smoother surfaces at the moment whilst building up my skills so this seemed to fit the requirement . I needed something large enough to marry up with the wide rims I have and this one was recommended on a unicycle website. First impressions are good. Ride is very smooth and hope it will go on to provide many happy miles.
Review: Good - Bought these for my son’s se bmx. The original tyres lasted only a few months. He’s happy with these and would recommend them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what the weight is of 26x2.5? thanks!**
A: 2.49 lbs. Just weighed one on my digital scale

**Q: I have 3.50 inches total in between my forks at the top would this tire fit?**
A: Yes it should fit. For me the problem fitting high volume tires is always the narrowing of the chain stays at the bottom bracket. If you are using these on a bike with horizontal dropouts the you can just add chain links. I have had these on my single speed 26” wheel mountain bike and a 24” wheel BMX cruiser. They are great tires in the woods and on pavement - sort of made me rethink the need for knobby tires in many circumstances.

**Q: I have a 29x2.20˝ front, 29x2.00˝ rear. Trek Marlin 5. I'm just worried the wider hookworm will rub against the frame/shocks?**
A: they should fit.
These hookworms fit on my Trek Marlin 7, which had the same Bontrager 29x2.00" front & 29x2.20" rear tires.... i left a review with pictures

**Q: Should the tires be on a certain rotation direction? I noticed I installed the two differently based on the logo that is only on one sidewall.**
A: My tires had the same logo/branding on both sides of the tire. I don't thing there is any specific need to install for rotational direction. I imagine if there was there would be a note on  the tire itself similar to what is done with automotive tires.
