The nice MUni weather is just around the bend, so, if you will, discuss
rides and future rides here, seeing as there are trials and street
discussions all the time. Hopefully (Someday) we shall dominate this
forum again. :D

I prefer m-uni on my a 19" than a 24".

This isn't for light trails, but for very very steep hills with rocks.
I feel much more comfortable doing bigger drops on my 19" as well. What
wheel size do you prefer?

I loooove muni.

California's central valley is veeeeery flat.

I'm looking forward to going back to school where there are actually
hills. And trails. And other people who ride.

:) :)

Edit: Oh yes, and 24" is by far the best.

I just got back form doing reserve duty in the Negev Desert of southern
Israel. Obviously I brought my KH24 MUni along. Usually I ride MUni in
the Jerusalem mountains. Very hilly terrain covered by woods. The Negev
desert on the other hand is totaly vegatationless hills and wadis. This
makes it very easy to see the contour of the ground becuase there are
very few trails except for some jeep trails. I would just ride over the
open ground which is usually strewn with rocks and boulders. Rocks that
are up to the size of oranges I am able to just ride over. There is no
way to avoid them because there are so many of them. Rocks that are
larger need to be avoided. Also there ae lots of places with soft sand.
This is always hard to negotiate but with the 3" Duro tire i can do
much beter than with a bicycle. In all I got quite a bit of riding in
in the past month. It was very cool because the texture of the terrain
was so different.

24"ers are the best. They go super-fast and are pretty solid for doing
drops. When I started muni, hills were pretty hard but I have since
devoloped pretty strong legs so now I can take them pretty fast.

What's yalls views on drops?
I think they're awesome.

Sounds like you're describing my KH29. My KH24 feels sluggish in
comparison. Most trails are better on a 29er than a 24. :cool:

Nah, 29's are good for fireroads and light XC, but I wouldn't take one
on a freeride course and expect it to come out ok.

that too, but someone VERY comfortable on a 29er could probably pull
that off. Ask Kris to do it, well, when he heals up :(
