Cheap muni, or decent wheel?

Sorry I can't help with the pricing and stuff, I don't know much about
UK money and prices. :o

Apart from having a looks, a 29" frame would be heavier than a 24", and
might get in your way more, seems like you would hit your knees on it a
lot, I'm not sure...

I'd reccomend getting another uni if you can, that way you'll have two
different sizes at once. If you don't, you'll just end up[ buying
another sooner or later! Check out the Qu-Ax cross, it's a good
non-splined muni.

My philosophy is to splurge on the wheel and skimp on the frame. In
other words, the frame is the last place you should put money in. The
wheel and the seat are more important. It is also pretty much the
wheel and cranks that define the muni. The frame is just there to hold
it all together.

So I'd go for the strong wheel in your existing 29er frame. Roger or
someone else at Unicycle.com would know if it will all fit so give them
a call or email before ordering.

Even if you aren't doing big drops or other abusive riding, a splined
crank is still very much a benefit. For one the splined cranks will
stay tight and you won't have to worry about having a crank fall off in
the middle of a ride. It's a much more reliable setup.

Thank all for the replies. John's reply pretty much confirms what I
wanted to hear, so I'll be chucking some of my hard earned towards
Roger in the near future.

Now... do I go for the white rim or the black rim? 😕

Cheers

If I get a black rim, I'll never wash or clean the uni. But if I had a
white one then... Ummm... Well, I'd probably still never wash it, but
I'd feel guilty about it every time I looked at it!

if theres one thing a muni is suppose to be its dirty! its not a muni
until its got a nice thick coat of mud on it without that its just a
beefy 24" if you keep it too clean your gonna give your muni a complex,
hes not gonna kno who he is!

Look in the trading post, a friend of mine (Halfrubbish) is selling a
24" Muni on ebay for sensible money that is splined and genreally
tasty, and will do you better than either of your other options.

Oooh, ta for the tip off. Ebay checked, and bid placed 🙂

Although it's got a white rim though. I've heard that if it's got a
white rim, and I keep it clean, then it's not going to know what kind
of uni it's supposed to be! 🙂
