    I'm going to get a muni and I can't decide between the Onza
    24" or the Yuni 24". The Yuni is $100 less and comes with a
    3" tire and the Alex Dx 32 rim, but I think the Onza's hub
    is better. I was wondering how much abuse the Suzue hub on
    the Yuni can take. I am 13 so I'm still only about 115
    pounds and have done 3' drops on my Yuni trials unicycle
    that also has a Suzue hub. Will the Suzue hub not stand up
    to these drops when I gain wait, or will I need a splined
    hub. I don't plan on doing anything larger than about 4 feet
    on the Muni. Which one should I get? Thanks.

    My muni is a Nimbus, which is the UK version of the Yuni; I
    use it for XC and mild muni with no drops, for which it's a
    really good machine.

    If you're already doing 3' drops, which are likely to get
    bigger as you progress, together with the fact that you're
    going to put on weight as you get older, I suspect that the
    Onza will be a better buy for you.

    I've often posted here against the view that splined hubs
    are always better than square taper (yuni) ones, in your
    case you seem pretty definite that you're going to need the
    extra strength for drops that the Onza can provide.

    Then again there are other good splined hub munis such as
    the Kris Holm models.
