My parents just offered me to give me a KH/Schlumpf hub for
Christmas! I am so excited!

But now I have to decide which uni to put it on. That's a difficult
one. I think maybe the KH29 is good as a first geared hub? Or maybe I
should put it in a 26" rim on the 29er frame, but then I'd have to mod
the brake bosses. The KH24 would be great too, but that's the one I do
the most abusive stuff on, and I'm still trying to learn all sorts of
tricks on that one. In any case, I think I'd build a whole new wheel set
for the Schlumpf anyways, so I can go without it whenever I want to. If
I had a KH36 I might put it on that one to have the fastest ride
available... But I have a Nimbus Nightrider... can't schlumpf that one,
right? So maybe I would sell it... and get a KH36? The thing is that I
currently live in the somewhat flat Netherlands, so the geared 36 would
definitely make more sense than 24" guni. Although I don't see myself
going much faster than 36Km/h on one wheel anyways. I wish one could
change hubs faster, quick release style... Because the geared 24/26/29
setup would be my choice for touring in the mountains. I'd want to go on
tours in southern Germany and Switzerland then. Difficult decision, but
I think probably I'll gear up the 29er, either as a 26er or as 29er. It
seems to be a good compromise. At the moment the 29er is the one I use
the least, because for going on tours I love the speed of the 36er, and
for going technical muniing in the few hills available and practicing
tricks I use the 24"...

What would you guys do, if you had to make this decision? What do you
think is the easiest one for getting into guni and shifting on the fly?
