It looks like they only carry the 26" though.

Not quite as good, but http://www.aebike.com has the 24" for $90 (USD)
+ shipping.

It eliminates tire fold, adds volume to your tire, it makes your uni
ride amazing on trails. Once you go surly, you won't go back.

Has anyone compared the XC to the DH? It is lighter, is it still plenty
strong??

It is 100 grams lighter. The XC is rolled from the same extrusion, but
the outer wall is machined to reduce weight.

It is plenty strong. The 36-hole XC rim was produced with unicyclists
in mind.

Is the XC available in a 24"?? I have one of the first LM 24s and I
assume it's a DH.

That's weird. I read Surley saying the XC was made specifically for
Munis, and who rides a 26 incher??

"Surley" is a typo. And where did I read what? That hardly anyone I
ever ride with is on a 26 inch Muni?

IME, the ratio of 24 to 26 inch munis favors the 24 perhaps by 10 to 1,
if not more. At the last Cal. Muni Weekend I'm not sure if I saw a
single 26 incher in the whole group.

My only point is that the commercial market for a 24 inch Muni rim is
likely much deeper than it is for a 26 incher. If you made a lighter
version of the 24 I know most of the Santa Barbara Muni club would buy
one in a flash.
