Ready for some Coker MUni?

What kind is this? It looks like either a Coker "Big One" or a Nimbus
Titan. Or something else?

Sorry to jump into the conversation late, but I noticed you had been
talking about a thought I had today while taking the V2 on a muni
journey...do you think the KH36 is going to be a better muni ride than
the Big One or V2? I am talking straight out of the box- no upgrades.
I would like to hear what everyone has to say!...

The KH 36 comes with a better frame, and seat. Popular moment cranks,
some dual hole I think. A 27 mm KH seatpost. The other parts are the
same or very similar to the nimbus, tires, rim, maybe the ISIS hubs are
more or less the same parts.

I was surprised how little markup there was over the 29. I'm hoping
they are available next year for QBP prices. I hope the Shlumph hubs
might come down a little bit by them, but I'm probably dreaming.

No it's an older "radial" by udc. It also has one of the last available
"airfoil" rims. Luckily I've had no tires popping off!

Terrys radial is the strongest 36er out there because it has 300 layers
of paint on it.

Haha almost! Only 237 so far. I actually have a "dipping"
reservoir I fill with paint stripper. I dunk each fork in for like 2
minutes, and when I pull it out, the paint is totally gone and it's
down to the bare metal. So much easier than brushing it on and wiping
or hosing it off. Much less mess too!

So Terry, you waiting on a KH 36 too? My buddy has 2 old Cokers , I've
been riding one of them and really enjoying it. I was wanting to buy a
36 myself, seems like the best option out there too although it is
expensive.

Yeah I'd love to at least try the new KH 36er, but I'll tell ya, since i
switched to the nightrider tire on my regular radial 36er, it's like a
whole new experience! Lighter, more nimble, and corners amazingingly
well. plus I seem to be able to hold high speeds longer and with more
stabilty than with the TA.

So, I would like to hear more about V2 vs. KH36. I do moderate offroad
with my V2- you can really feel the weight climbing hills. I have not
had any trouble with the square tapered set-up (yet...), but am thinking
the isis would be a lot better. Is it possible to build this into a V2.
Is the KH36 wheel as strong? Lighter? I leave it to the experts...
