Re: which do you prefer?

Yeah sure yuo can do as much on a 24" as a 20" it just takes more work.
the only think you might have a problem with is how high your hop is.
also with the 24 you can go from trials right to muni. so bassicaly they
both have their own pros and cons

I would get the 24, you can do tirals easier on a 24 than you can do
muni on a 20.

And when you do get a 20, you will be even better!

If you plan on doing both, go for the 24".

Do you have access to good mountain bike trails where you can muni?

A big problem for some people is getting to good trails to ride. If you
live in an area that doesn't have good mountain bike trails then a fancy
muni is less attractive. If you do happen to live in an area with good
trails but are too young to drive to the trails then a fancy muni is
less attractive.

If you live near good trails and can get to the trails to ride, then by
all means get the muni. 😄

You can jump around on a muni. Justin Kohse does trials and street
style riding with a 24" muni. If you want to jump around and jump off
things a muni will do that quite well.

If you're city bound or unable to get to good muni trails then you may
have more fun with a trials uni. Maybe.

I can't imagine being without my muni.

I personally prefer the types of threads thathave titles actually tell
me something about their content, hint hint. In case it wasn't blatantly
clear enough, this thread is not one of my preffered threads.

One thing to remember is that the tires for trials uni's are cheaper
than muni tires. Riding trials on your muni can cost a bit mroe due to
quicker consumption of tires.

I currently ride a muni for the rare trials rides I go on. I am
marginally less precise, and my sidehop is 2" lower, but I don't really
care too much. The difference between 32" and 30" is nearly nothing, and
riding a muni gives me another reason to wimp out on stuff.

Brock: Hopping height is irrelevant. You can do anything on a muni that
you can do on a trials. If the person can only hop 14-16", then a muni
shouldn't affect their hopping height more than an inch or two, which is
easily regained with practice. If they can jump 36", they won't care any
more about their hopping height in that regards, so a muni won't make a
difference.

Riding off-road on a trials uni is an exercise in frustration. The
wheel is smaller so it doesn't roll over obstacles as well. But more
importantly the pedals are closer to the ground and you'll be constantly
hitting the pedals on the ground and on other objects as you ride. Not
fun at all.

If you're even thinking of taking the unicycle on trails then get the
muni. You can jump up stairs with a muni no problem. Jumping up on a
bench takes a little more work than on a trials uni, but can be done.
Riding down a flight of stairs is more fun on a muni than a trials uni
(the bigger wheel makes it easier and less bumpy). You can actually
cover some distance during a ride with the muni.

I have a trials and i like it way more than my freestyle, but i find it
easier to learn new tricks with my freestyle. I think u should start out
with freestyle and then head onto trials but that just the order i got
em' in. Just a suggestion.

I've been riding on a 24x3 Muni for a couple of years. Some of our rides
involve trials type riding in downtown San Antonio. I just got my trials
uni earlier in the week and took it out for an urban ride last night. It
is alot harder to ride down stairs due to the smaller wheel. There are a
few places with very shallow stairs that I would ride up on my Muni and
I find it almost impossible to ride up those same stairs on the trials.
I would imagine the 20" wheel would not be fun on the trails.
The trials uni definately is easier when riding "skinnies'
If you plan on doing any trail riding at all, I would suggest getting a
24"
If you plan on just hopping around on stuff, the lighter trials uni
may be the way to go. It all depends on what type of riding you are
interested in doing.
