considering muni

j-n said:

Hi,

Slowly but surely I'm considering buying a muni and I'd like to get
some advice from you, guys.
I know I won't be doing *big* drops/hops.
So how much more durable is new qu-ax *red isis* hub in comparison to
regular square-tapered hub?
In this context which is better choice: koxx forrest or qu-ax cross
with a new red isis hub?

cheers,
Jedrzej

90% of everyone on here will tell you to buy a KH and they won't even
let you consider anything else. But I have a Qu-Ax MUni, and it's a
beast. I love it. It won't let you down until you get very good. At
which point, I'm sure they'll be much better MUnis available for
cheaper.

I had a question, though, what's up with the isis thing? I don't really
know what it is, other than a specific type of spline design. And I was
wondering, is qu-ax making a new hub, or does it just have isis cranks?
And if it's red, doesn't that mean that it's not splined? Just curious.

i think, emphasis on the THINK, that the red hub is ISIS splined,
however it's the weaker type of splined (the lighter type), meaning
that it's marginally better than a standard square taper.

the yellow one is better.

don't take my word for it, but that's what i think it is.

well it is worse than other splined hubs but it is still a lot better
than a square tapper. and yes the yellow one is a lot better.

Yeah, right, I know KHs are good, but they are pricey as well and
that's why I emphasized I won't be doing big jumps/drops and I won't be
rolling down the Mt. Everest 🙄 so maybe something cheaper is
worth recommending in this case? I think 50cm is probably the maximum
drop height to be endured, and probably much less, because I even can't
hop yet and 50cm is beyond my perception 😉

The only thing I know is that they started installing this hub in
newest profi and cross models. And yes it's isis with splined cranks
but hub is weaker (but how much?) than the regular splined one
(yellow).

Does anybody have this thing? Is it a good idea for a non-high-hopper?

Looks nice, unfortunately shipping this overseas would make the whole
deal insensible -- no european dealer has torkers :-(

No one knows the answer to your question because they haven't tried it
yet.

Email the people at http://www.municycle.de/ and ask, because they're
the most likely people to have actually tried it.

It's a splined hub, with ISIS cranks, which is a standard, which means
you should be able to swap the cranks with other ISIS cranks (either
the Koxx ISIS cranks, or long bike cranks).

It's obviously designed more towards the light weight end of muni
riding than the great big heavy splined hubs.
