  1. Hi

    I've been dabbling in in muni, trials, and freestyle for a few years
    now and I've been doing it all on my 20 inch trials. I've mainly
    started to do muni and I'm getting into it but finding the uni is hard
    to control on the way steeper slopes and loses grip often. I'm saving
    up money for the new 08 KHs when they come out and I'm wondering if the
    24 inch wheel with the three inch knobby tire is more manageable than a
    20inch wheel with a cc. I'm hoping it is so my muniing will be much
    better. Has anyone experienced this.

    Thanks🙂

    Stephen

  2. If you're really doing MUni (riding on trails, as opposed to natural
    trials where you're jumping on rocks), you'll definitely be better off
    with a 24". The traction and the ability to roll over stuff is a lot
    better.

  3. Consider a 26" too. You'll have far more tyre and rim choices available
    to you. And it goes faster.

  4. Are there any other riders where you live? If you could "test ride" a
    couple other munis, you'd get a better idea of what you want to buy.
