24 or 26

legtod2 said:

I presently have a 20" and 29" unicycle.

I'm considering a 24 or 26 for riding in the dirt, jumping, muni.

Oh yeah and I'm getting a 36" for RTL but thats another thread.

Which should I go 24 or 26, and why ?

I don't need a speed machine, I want an inexpensive and occasional dirt
machine.

Since you already ride a 29er, get the 26" for off-road. You will
appreciate the little bit of extra speed.

Way back in my early days of unicycling (almost 5 years ago) my third
unicycle was a 26" for off-road and it was more than I could handle at
the time so I bought a 24" which worked for me. As time went by I
bought a 29er and got good with it for on-road riding. Then I found I
could handle the 26" very well for off-road. I sold my 24" and have
been riding the 26" since. I have very long (175mm) cranks on my 26"
but have been thinking of trying some 150's.

I would get a 24. I don't know of any cheap, strong 26" MUnis, but the
24" DX works for a good price and I think more 24" MUnis are available
on UDC for close to the price of a DX, with ISIS cranks etc. A 24" is
plenty fast on a trail and is still somewhat light (except for the DX
hub).
