  1. I want to hear from you that own both 24" and 26" MUni's. I don't
    really want to know which is better, just which you actually ride the
    most. I won't tell you which of mine I ride most and why until a little
    later:p

    response to my stating that this was the shortest day of the year.)

  2. In my opinion, I would prefer the 26" muni even though it is slightly
    heavier and bulkier than the 24". I've been using 175mm cranks on my
    unis, and i find the on the 26, the pedals doesn't bite into the dirt
    like the 24 does when i do sharp and steep turnings. Also when riding, i
    find that the 26 actually climbs better and feels smoother compared to
    the 24. The larger wheel diameter actually smooths out the bumps. 🙂

  3. The 24x3 gets the most use. I find it preferable for
    conquering roots, obstacles, etc.

    My first Muni was the 26x2.6, I think my success rate went
    up when I got the 24. I used my 26 as a backup Muni when my
    24 was in the shop a while back, it just doesn't suck up
    stuff and bounce around as well as the 24.
