26" Muni plans!

its that gazz you got on your 24" that wieghs it down. that kenda is
pretty good but i do prefer the gazz. but that 26" is mad light...most
trials unis weigh more than that.

140mm cranks are going to be kind of sketchy on a 26" MUni, if you're
doing steep or technical stuff. For cross-country they would be fine.

Dude that's way too heavy. You're going to leave a huge rut in the
ground whenever you ride and that'll ruin the trail... not to mention
the fact that YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HOP AT ALL! 🙄

yea that gazz is a heavy mofo, if i switched that out my 24" would be
crazy light!

the only things i dont like about a 26" is i probably wont be able to
glide (especially with that 29" frame), or do trials with it to great.
All the other parts of a 26" are nice though. I can get so many more
tires than on my 24", and long distance rides (somthing iam doing alot
more) will be great!

You should try the halo contra 3" tire its there version of the gass 3"
with a more round profile the bead is got a better fit lock system with
a bead of rubber to protect the rim from low pressure pinches, not sure
of the weight thought.

if you're trying to build up a real light set-up, i'd suggest running a
bike trials rim. Something drilled out. These are strong, and light
rims. I think the lightest i've seens is around 550 - 600g. I forget
where though.

here's some links, the echo rim looks good, and it's pretty cheap...
and 48mm wide!

those are fine rims, but the echo only had 20" didn't it? And the other
was a 32 hole rim, i need 36 hole. I liked those rims though.

What spoke "pattern" do u think i should do if this 26" uni happens? 4
cross?

sounds good. those cranks are going to be really small on a 26.
especially at moab.

Zippo makes a "descent" lighter... dunno if it's 26" though.

Try using a 26x2.6" Gazz... that's the same weight as a Gazz 24x3. I
have one on my MUni.
