Default 24" vs. 29"


What are the pros and cons of a 24" muni vs. a 29" muni? Also, is it
possible to install a bmx handbrake on a uni? The UDC hydraulic brakes
are expensive and I'd rather not spend money where I don't have to

You can use V-brakes up to about a 2.6" tire, depending on the calipers
and tire (not all tires marked the same are actually the same width or
hight). You'll need 'this '

You can put calipers on up to 2.25 or 2.3", but you'll need to drill a
hole in the frame. Also depends on the caliper you get.

Depending on what type of trails you will be riding will decide if you
want a 24 or a 29
If you are doing downhill muni and more aggressive trails get a 24 if
you like mild downhill and rolling single track trails get the 29er
I have to say I prefer my KH29 over all
