Muni wheel
I am not going to vote for a size, because it depends on what sort of trails you are riding in. I have a KH24, and it's been fun riding that. However, I recently started riding a 36 inch wheel, both on road and in the trails, and I regret having bought the 24. The 36 is way faster, and I can do pretty well anything on it that I can on the 24. But again, I think it really depends on what you want to do with it. -- Tim Morin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tim Morin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11002 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53434 |

Muni wheel
26" is best. I have rode a KH24 for almost 2 years and have switched to a KH26 and for Muni, it owns all. Its faster, more stable in most terrain, and has more parts avaliable for it. Oh yeah, and it has more clearance from the cranks to ground. Its better. The weight is somthing you get use to in like 20 min of riding after riding a 24" for 2 years. The crap about 24"ers being able to ride more technical terrain is like I said... Crap. The wheel sizes of the 2 are so close that for a 24" to have an advantage over a 26", it would have to be so technical we're talkin about trials..not Muni.So a 26" is better for Muni. -- musketman MUSKETMAN www.unicycle.com For Sale: Parachute, only used once, never opened, small stain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ musketman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9214 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53434 |

Muni wheel
I like my 24, but it is tougher when you are sorta in a ditch, because the bottom of the crank to the ground is not that much when you pedals are vertical. -- habbywall January 1st, 2007 A NEW REVOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ habbywall's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10260 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53434 |

Muni wheel
I chose 24" cuz thats what i ride...I think that your choice will largely depend on what type of muni you want to ride. 16" wheel is relatively useless for Muni unless you are only 3 ft tall 20" wheel is pretty much the same 24" wheel is that most largely used i think bacause it combines a good level of speed aswell as alot of control because it isnt a huge wheel. I use mine for DH Muni and its awsome 26" wheel is somewhat the same as a 24" but obviously a little more bulky and e but quite considerably faster. It can be used for DH Muni but is also great for XC 29" wheels aremostly used for XC riding because most 29er wheels cannot take the starin that any DH would do to it(the exeption being Stockton Wheels) So thats what i kno but there are others here who kno alot more than me. -Phil -- trials_uni TRIALS 4 LIFE !

Muni wheel
One thing to clarify is that muni-ers when talking about 24" wheels generally mean 24x3 ie 24" rim with a 3" tyre, which is actually closer to a 26" wheel with standard tyre. As relatively few people actually use a 24" (without 3" tyre) this means that it's safe to say that the most popular size for muni is 26". Cokers -are- used for muni, but it tends to be mild/non-technical/cross country, ie going faster on relatively easy trails- the same applies, to a lesser extent, to the 29-er. 'Muni' was defined by unicyclists like Kris Holm, who originally used a 26" set-up. When the 24" rim/3" tyre set-up became available, he seems to have switched over to it- this would suggest that for the highly technical variety of muni ridden by Kris Holm, that 24x3 is preferable. Those who prefer more speed and less technical will go for 26" (though, given that a 26"-er is only very slightly bigger than the 24x3, 26x3 may be a better choice than a stanard 26" tyre) or a 29-er; in a few cases, the Coker, though I'm not sure 'muni' is the best term for anything that a coker can ride. -- onewheeldave "You can't outrun Death forever.
