  1. This is kinda a random post i just felt like putting this out there im
    putting a hookworm duel compound 20x1.95 (the black and white one) on my
    torker LX . i learned on it and i now ride my 26 more often but i felt
    obligated to spruce up my "training wheel" so i put some 89mm cranks on
    it i could have gone with 110's but 89's make things alittle more
    interesting.
    any one else have any stories about upgrading their first uni's?

  2. Technically my muni is still my first uni. It's got a new seat, new
    pedals, and new cranks, it's had a completely new wheel, although I had
    to rebuild that with the original hub, the frame has had some brake
    bosses welded on and been re-painted, but it's still the same uni. It
    does have the original seatpost, although it has been cut down to fit on
    a coker, and it probably needs replacing now anyway because it's going
    rusty...

  6. My 24 inch MUni started out as a 24 inch Avinier with a lollypop frame.
    When the cheap steel rim tacoed, it was replaced with a Sun BFR rim and
    Suzue hub. The original slick tire was swapped out for a 2.3 inch IRC
    knobby. When the cheap lollypop frame cracked, it was replaced with a
    26 inch YUni frame. When the KH saddles were released, the hard, cheap
    stock saddle was replaced with a KH. Somewhere along the line, the
    pedals were replaced with Specialized platform pedals, then re-replaced
    with Odysseys. I replaced the original quick release with a 2 bolt BMX
    clamp. And the tire was replaced once again for a 24x3.0 Gazz.

    The only original parts on the cycle are the cranks and seatpost.

    Replaced parts:
    Cheap Steel rim >> SUN BFR
    Spokes >> other spokes
    Stock Hub >> Suzue Hub
    Cheap Plastic Pedals >> Specialized Platforms >> Odyssey Platforms
    Lollypop Frame >> Yuni frame
    Quick Release >> 2 bolt BMX clamp
    Stock tire >> 2.3 inch IRC >> 3.0 Gazz
    Stock Saddle >> KH

  7. Original uni: 20" united with a 2.15 knobby and savage seat.

    I replaced the right cranks twice. I dented the steel rim and the seat
    twice. I have removed the wheel and then I bought an onza. The old
    united frame has since replaced the onza frame. The thing is, now the
    onze wheel has been replaced too. The only thing left original on my uni
    is the frame, which is soon to be replaced with my own custom built Yuni
    frame. Basically, my original uni is no longer ridden and nonexistant.

    My original muni wheel is still in existent. The whole thing is a yuni
    frame witha suzue/sun rhynolite. That is now my ultimate wheel. I
    replaced that wheel witha profile/dx-32. The only things original still
    on my muni are my seatpost, frame, and tire. I want to replace the
    frame, seatpost, and tire, too. how ironic.
