  1. I've been riding for about 10 months now and have spent the majority of
    that time on a 20 inch koxx-one blueberry. Now that im getting into
    muni alot more i ride with a group of about 4 other people, all of
    which have 24 inches. im the youngest and they keep up a very fast
    pace. Being the only one on a 20 inch im starting to realize how much
    it makes certain things harder so i've decided to save up and buy a 24
    inch. so now i ask you, what is a good 24 inch unicycle that can match
    my blueberry in quality?

    You'll get hurt if you don't land it.

    Thats the best possible deal. I second this decision.

  4. Have you considered a 26" MUni? I have no idea what kind of trails you
    guys re riding but I think that most people would be better off with
    bigger wheels than they use. A 26 will roll better and be a faster in
    most situations, but are slightly heavier and harder to control in the
    tight stuff. I think the biggest advantage of having a 26 and a Trials
    is that between the two of them you can do everything you could do with
    a 24 and more.

    It is also generally agreed that the Nimbus ISIS models are good bang
    for the buck.

    Good luck with whatever you choose

  5. oh and i should add that i want it to be able to keep up but still be
    able to do street and trials. it seems like blueberry could do all of
    them and this looks like it can pretty well too. oh and why the new
    cranks?

    Nimbus ISIS will hold up equally well when you put KH moment cranks on
    it.

    The stock cranks are ISIS, but arent that strong. The KH moments are
    strong, and worth it.

    Yes, of you want ur uni to last. And it says 'here'
    (http://tinyurl.com/2l4rgd) thta the cranks are 77$, i don't know where
    you're looking!

    You could get dual hole ones in case you don't make your mind up, but
    it all depends on how rough the terrain is, how fast you want to go,
    and what size wheel you have. 150/165 is most likely the cranks you'd
    be looking at, as as far as I know this is the general Muniing crank
    length.

    Thw longer the crank, the harder you'll find it to go fast. The longer
    the crank, the more balance, control and leverage you'll have for tech
    Muni.

    Maybe you should ask your friends what size cranks they have?

    sounds like a 24"

    I wouldn't bother with new cranks right off the bat especially since
    you are 14 (most likely light weight and light wallet). People have
    been saying that you can upgrade to moments for $50 instead of buying
    them separate. If you are going to do that you need to talk to UDC
    first since they don't list that as an option.

    150mm cranks is a nice size for MUni, long enough for good torque and
    short enough that you can spin.

    I would ask some of your friends if you could try theirs out for a
    ride, see what you like and what you don't like, especially if
    different friends have different setups. Then you can know what you
    really want when it comes time to order your uni
