Muni wheel
I'm not sure 'muni' is the best term for anything that a coker can ride. You must have never seen Brian Mackenzie ride his Coker Muni -- trials_uni TRIALS 4 LIFE !

24"s are the most popular for muni, but like pdc said, it depends on the terrain. I have a 24", and I've used it for everything from smooth fireroads to twisty singletrack and rocky downhills. It's pretty good for everything, the only drawback is that the small wheel size means speed is limited, especially when using longer cranks. Riders who want speed from their munis (e.g. 24 hour racers) usually use cokers or 29ers. Going by your location, a 26" might be a good size to get. I doubt you'll be riding too many rocky downhills and even if you do a 26" will still be ok if you are good enough. My muni is great but if I was getting a muni now for all-round riding I think I'd go for a 26". -- domesticated ape ------------------------------------------------------------------------ domesticated ape's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8599 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53434 |

So if you're talking 50/50 uphill and downhill with rocky, technical sections and very little flat..... the 24" is better? -- RB2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RB2's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13490 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53434 |

How many of you voted 24" simply because that's the only unicycle you've got? It depends the terrain. And whether you want want to go fast or whether you want to ride everything. I'm currently using 29" for XC, but will probably switch over to my 26"x2.6" because I think it will be faster on most of the trails I ride due to the suspension effect of a larger tyre. But the UDC boys are telling me to get a bigger 29"x2.5" tyre, which would probably work better. My Diet Coker is surprisingly nimble for off-road stuff too, great for fast singletrack. Ken Disc: have not voted as it depends on the terrain. -- GizmoDuck 'SINZ Unitour 2007' (http://www.sinzuni.org) 'www.adventureunicyclist.com' (http://www.adventureunicyclist.com/) 'Laos Unicycle Tour 2006' (http://www.laosunitour.org) The Monguni tour 2008.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GizmoDuck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/794 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53434 |
