Do you Muni??

trials_uni said:

So who hear is an avid Muni rider? Ive recently taken a real intersest
in it and decided to build a new Muni for myself.

So i created this thread with the hopes that it will stick around a
become a Muni discussion thread where you would come to ask or answer
questions about Muni.

Hey, that's a great idea, I just started uniing about a month ago, so
I've been figuring out where I'd like to focus, and I think it's going
to be MUni, so I'll come back often to check out this thread if it gets
started up.

what tools/extras/foods should i bring along. Im planing on going for
the whole day. What do you guys bring on long Muni rides?

Water and everything to fix a flat or a twisted seat. For the whole
day, bring food: fruit, energy bars, sandwiches, etc.

For the record, I have a two stock munis without brakes. KH 24
freeride and KH 29.

Yeah i thought about that just after i started this thread...But a
trials unicyclist can still do Muni so i left it alone. Is there a way
to change your username without starting a new account?

Rim: Alex DX 32 24"
Tire: IRC Kujo DH 24x3
Tube: IRC DH Threaded Valve

Glad to see another IRC Kujo rider - that is an awesome tire! I have
also rode on a Gazz and a Duro Leopard and like the IRC the best.
Works well with a wide rim like yours or the Surly Large Marge that I'm
on.

I esspecially like the Pinchflat resistance foam in the sidewalls. That
was the main reason i chose the Kujo DH.

Although I have four-coker, trials, KH freeride and torker 24"dx- I

being out in nature.😄

My first attempt at MUNI was last weekend... It wass fun, even though I
twisted the axle on my LX. Now I'm trying to justify the cost of a
MUNI in between the eyerolling I get from the wife.

Just tell her that you can get the BEST MUni for a fraction of the
price of a decent mountain bike.

I did the same thing, bent a number of things on my LX after just a
couple of weeks, and then got a Qu-Ax MUni, man is it a WORLD of
difference. Pictures don't do MUni's justice....get one. The LX is just
a TOY in comparison.

Man that is so true...The true girth of a Muni is way bigger in real
life than in a pic.

I told her I can either spend the money once and do it right, or buy
something cheaper and spend even more upgrading and repairing it. That
seemed to work, I just ordered a KH24 Freeride 😄

I would bring a camelbak, those are about 30 dollars for a good one, 3
liters about. Patch kit, allen wrench set, tire levers, the plastic
kind, and a tiny wrench, make sure to get the sizes that fit your uni,
those can all fit in your camel bak if you have a section for tools,
and then some snack bars.

That should be good for a day, I have gone on way less, which was a few
drinking fountains for a 12 hour ride, and no food, it sucked, but
managable.

All the Muni I have done has been on a trials, but I still do all the
single tracks and trails we got up here, its just not as fast, and it
really as helped with my rolling technique, hopping any pedal position
to get over stuff I cant roll over on a trials.

I'm not a good enough rider yet to do technical muni but I do enjoy
doing less technical, easy hiking trails. I ride a Torker DX24. It
seems pretty strong. For longer rides I have a Blackburn hydration pack
with lots of extra storage space for snacks and tools and such.

A question for you all: The DX24 is supposed to have frame clearance
for a 24 x 3 tire but is the rim wide enough to handle it?

Yup it is...It has an Alex DX 32 right? I run a 24x3 IRC Kujo DH on mine
and its awsome. Also Terrybigwheel on these forums runs a Duro Wildlife
24x3 on his DX.

I have done some drops (albeit small ones) with ridiculously low tire
pressure (I weigh 185) and no pinch flats. Yep, I like that feature....

I also like the Kujo because it picked out my Muni color scheme for
me...Red on black!
