Kris Holm 29" from UDC - Height Question
I've debated for a long time now whether to get a 24" or a 29" to complement my Nimbus 20" ISIS Trials. I want a machine that I can go cross country, a little downhill and a bit of singletrack maybe. I've just ordered a KH Muni 29er from UDC with Snafu Pedals and a WTB Stout tyre for £300 because I'm 6`3" I thought a 29er would be more suitable. What do fellow unicyclists think about this decision? Do you prefer a 29 er over a 24 if you're a taller person? -- unibob UniBob http://www.unibob.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unibob's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16491 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68614 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Kris Holm 29" from UDC - Height Question
for your requirements a 29 is far superiour, I started out with a KH 24" for muni, it rules for really technical DH and north shore stuff. Then i got a cheapo nimbus 29 XC uni. It transformed much of my riding, which was slow and easy on the 24, in to much faster and more challenging. Other guys in my group believe that the 29 is also better for technical stuff, having rode the same sections several times on both unis. Certainly once a decent 29er tyre comes out I think 29 will be the size of choice for all muni. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68614 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Height doesn't matter, but what you said you were buying it for, you made a good decision. -- _Ground_Zero_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _Ground_Zero_'s Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15520 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68614 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
