Muni & Trials Muni?

For a while i was using a KH04 24" for both trials and muni, i found
that it worked really well, So i would recomend a splined 24inch Muni,

Thats my 10c worth

Decide what you will be wanting to do more. You will eventually buy
both! 🙂 ... and a big one!

I ride a KH20 for trials and a Bedford/Profile 24" for MUni. If your
muni-ing looks like natural trials then the 20" is nicer. However, if
it is closer to crosscountry the 24" beats hands down.

On the other hand, both my brother and a friend ride 24" for trials. If
you are comfortable on a 20" for trials it is really hard to do good
trials on a 24", However, if you haven't done much trials yet you can
get comfortable on a 24" and not be disadvantaged.

Anyway, I would recommend a KH24. It is as light as some trials
unicycles so that helps at least. I would recommend going with shorter
cranks though. On my 24" I'm riding 145's and that is nicer then 170's
for trials. But that is personal preference.

I have a QU-AX 24" that I use for Muni, trials and street. I am very
happy with it. I would definately suggest getting a 24" though, because
it is still ok for trials, faster for street, and it is the best for
Muni. I would say get the QU-AX.

Yeah thats looking like the best option so far for price/quality ratio.
Sounds like its more durable than the DX and its way less expensive than
the KH.

thanks 🙂

I disagree. You're only dealing with a 2" height difference between
the two unis... anyone who is halfway decent at trials riding should be
able to switch between 20" and 24" with no problem. Heck, Corbin even
does some trials on his Coker!

I've said this before and I'll say it again. It's not about equipment,
it's all about technique. Good technique will transfer from one uni to
another... with a minimal amount of practice.

Are you saying you can do all your normal trials lines on a MUni, and
that it is "no problem"?

A 2" hight difference isn't what makes it different. A trials tire is
apox. 20.5" across. A 24" Gaz. tire is approx 26". That is a large
amount of tire to get moving.

Sure, you can still do trials on a 24", or a Coker if you normally use
a 20". However, as I said in my original post, it is really difficult
for me to become equally comfortable and skilled on both because I
first rode a 20" for trials then tried to switch to a 24".

I don't doubt you can still ride better trials then I do even if you
were on a Coker, but that is irrelevant. The discussion is about
personal maximum potential. Still, I'd agree, don't blaim the
equipment if you can't ride it.
