Hey folks, This will be my third uni that I will have bought. I do not plan on getting 24", I am set on getting a 26" uni. With that in mind, I am thinking of getting Torker 26" LX for MUni. Will it hold up? Has anyone else been MUni with this uni? What will I need to change? Pedal and fatter tire?
you'd be better of with a nimbus 26" muni. comes with a duro and metal pedals. also a comfier seat and a wider frame.

that was neat, now i only have to put it to use. parents banned my uni due to low school marks so if there are any nerds out there with a kind heart, i have a psychology assignment that is a few weeks over due, it is on intelligence.
the LX won't hold up to much. the nimbus is much better, as is a torker DX.does that even come 26 inch? anyway, the lx, even with a fatter tire isn't much of a muni.
I have a 24" LX and a 24" Nimbus Muni. The Nimbus Muni is really terrific for Muni. The LX on the other hand just doesn't do very well on rough surfaces. It has a much narrower tire and it just isn't built as tough as the Nimbus.
I don't know anything about the torker as I am in the UK and they are not reafily available over here but I can strongly recommend the Nimbus 26 for Muni.
As a size 26" is probably my favourite for off road riding and the nimbus is a very capable machine.
Another vote for the Nimbus 26. I've done loads of miles on mine in the last two years and I'm very happy with it - the UDC CrMo hubs are plenty strong enough as long as you're not into massive drops. Most of my riding is at the very rocky end of cross-country rather than extreme droppy muni, and it's excellent for that, no problems yet. I weigh about 12 stone, btw (170ish pounds)
I agree with the other responses here. The most important things are the 3" tire, and a wide enough rim to do it justice. The only other major consideration is whether to go with a splined hub or not. If your budget won't allow it and your not into excessive drops you'll be fine with a Nimbus. Torker LX = bad tire and rim for Muni.
