20 inch 48 spoke wheels with disks >: D

. . . ok. . . so that's what's on my 20" unicycle minus the disks. Maybe I should post a picture : ) you can barely stick your finger in between spokes : P but it's a dang tough wheel. Has to be even stronger than some trials unis because it has a thinner tire. I thought it'd be hilarious to make a mini velo with those. I guess I'd have to use tandem hubs.


I say for someone less than 200 lbs:

36 spoke rear
32 spoke front
Double butted is really all you actually need, triple butted if you really want overkill. DT swiss please.

double walled rim made for <2" wide tires (alex adventurer, mavics, velocity if you don't mind the looks)

lx hubs are mostly the same as xt and some think they're better. They're half the price.

Do yourself a favor and get a competent mechanic to put it all together for you.
