24" Street Uni

They've both got their advantages, another one for the 24 is you can
rest your tyre between larger gaps where a 20" just falls through the
middle.

The weight I think is the biggest issue. 24's are just a bit cumbersome
but they're cool, slightly less clowny than 20s I think. Like I've said
before, I want to see a 21.5" street uni

well everyone knows i couldnt resist posting in this thread haha.

But ive rode 24" for street for a few years now and i love it. The
speed is greater, gaps are easier, i feel much more comfortable on my
24 then on a 20. But thats just me.....

i just like the look more too.

does some company make a 21.5" rim? or a 22"?
that would be quite interesting to try out.

I use my 24" muni mainly for street and trials... I've got nothing
against the 20"ers but I do also find that if you're tall you really
get the clown look with a 20".

I find the 24" much more usefull ... you can ride around town at a
decent speed going from location to location... with a 20" you barely
go fast enough to pass people walking on the sidewalk.

Also, a 24" is more versatile, for things like MUni. That's (and the
clown factor-I'm 6'1"ish) is why I bought a 24" for street/trials.

You are so right.
I ride my 24" KH Freeride everywere : Muni, distance, a little trial
and street.
On a 20" I feel so slow.

I use a 24”, Fireball, Profile, etc. for variety from my normal trials
for street rides. This unicycle is sort of an urban assault vehicle.
It is, indeed, harder to manipulate but a better challenge. And, the
end result is that when I do go back to my trials uni I’m a better
rider.

I find that my 20" trials uni works much better on the tight technical
courses I tend to do. 90 degree on-the-spot turns go easier, and some
grind rails just arn't high enough for the 24". I also have some trials
lines where a 24" just would not fit.

I guess it's time for 90mm splined cranks! That way you still have the
advantages of the 20", and higher speed. Then again, its nearly 12
oclock and I'm not thinking straight..

I would like a 24" much better too, it just feels better for riding
around. But the problem is, I can't do -squat- on my muni as far as
anything besides muni and natrual trials. For urban type trials/street,
it just feels so heavy, sluggish, and unmanevurable.

But I bet if I rode it for a few years I would get used to it...

I use my MUni for street, since my trials is broken. If I had really
needed my 20" I'd have fixed it by now. However, I haven't, and I ride
trials/street on my MUni fine. If my trials wasn't broken, maybe I'd
have a bit higher hop. maybe a lot higher, but last time I tried a 20"
I couldn't hop at all.

Forrest: It should only take you like a week to get used to your 24",
or at least that's how it is for me.

i dont think i have the clown factor and im 6'1'' (on a 20"😉. i really
should get a 24" though.
maybe when someone wants to give me one i'll make the switch back to Da
Big Unis again (but my hunter is too damn heavy and 26"😉

I also think that maybe some 'flatland' tricks are easier to do on a 20"
uni. Unispins for example would be much easier on a 20" then on a 24".
Aside from that ofcourse, the wheel is smaller, and thus easier to
turn, so if you were to jump onto an object, and not quite make it (hit
your tire on the edge), getting onto the object is easier with a 20"
then a 24".

Justin Kohse rides a 24" for street, and he's AWESOME. he's in Defect,
does some huge gaps and other flippin awesome stuff...I think it could
be an advantage because you can get more speed, but its probably also
heavier. depending on what kind of street riding you're doing, that
might or might not be a problem.

hey guys,

ist not offensive or anything about my defect section, it was filmed
well and the music/ editing were really well done also. Its really hard
to please everyone...thats why there isnt just one style of riding..

Im actaully considering selling my 24" right now and saving up for a
koxx track monster, cause the kh 2005 cranks and hub are just not my
scene.

but a bunch of stuff has to be replaced on the good 'ol 24" from riding
this weekend. I ended up bending the seat post tube about 45 degrees to
the left haha, bent it back though then crashed pretty hard twice in a
row trying to slide an insanley high hand rail, but it was only as long
as a 10 or 12 set.

no im babbling.
