Which frames fit a 24x3 Gazzaloddi?

Is it worth building up a whole unicycle just to fit one tyre that is no

once you add up the cost of the parts, I mean you're not exactly getting
a super duper deal on the tyre, so you won't save masses of money there,
and it's always gonna be more expensive to build up a uni from parts.

I bought the tire/tube for $10

Brakes I am buying for $40

I can get a DX32 rim for about $30, or a Large Marge for around $70.

KH24 is $650

Cranks/hub - $150
Frame - $125
Clamp - $8
Seat $55
Post - $50 for the adjustable 4 Bolt post that I want.
Rim (DX32 $30~) (Large Marge $70~)
Pedals - $30
Brake - $40
Spokes - $25~
Tire/Tube - $10

Total - $560~ + Shipping with Large Marge

That's $90 cheaper...

Factor in the KH doesn't come with a brake.. so it's really $130
cheaper with a better rim and a brake.

$170 cheaper if I go with a DX32

I don't want a drilled rim on a Muni to be honest, I ride through thick
mud on the trails I go to, and that's a lot of crap to clean out of a
rim.

I would also much rather have a custom ride... maybe Municycle.ca will
hook me up and swap out some parts on a complete. Possibly hook me up
with removing the wheelset, and shipping it with just the cranks/hub,
and no rim/tire.

You will need special brake mount extenders to use a brake with the LM.
I had a Gazz on a LM last year, and now have it on on a KH rim.

I think the pros you get from running a LM for muni are not worth the
extra weight, the need for special brake setup, and the fact that the LM
is less maneuverable.

haha Agent Q is telling you not to get the large Marge because it is to
wide and heavy and I am going to tell you not to get the Alex DX32
because it is too skinny for a 3" tire.


Drilled rims are not that hard to clean, just spray them down with a
hose. besides as long as the dirt does not get past the rim strip what
is it going to hurt in there?

As for wider non drilled rims there is always the sun double wide but
it does not have a good breaking surface.
