MUni discussion thread



What do you guys think about wheel size, will people start moving more
towards 26" and 29"? I think that is going to be the trend in the near
future. Esspecially when some better 29" tires come out I think we will
see a swich away from the standard 24" of today.

What do you guys think?

I would love to see more good 26er options but I think that the 29er
will gain in popularity first (due to the KH29)

I mainly rode my trials uni at moab and I probably will at cmw too even
though I have a 24" muni. I have way more fun playing on stuff along
the way than actually riding a trail. The trail is just a path to the
next trials spot;)

That's how skilled Spencer is:) . I too prefer 19" for m-uni for the
same reasons.

I guess since this thread is about MUni...I just got back from my daily
MUni ride but this time it was about 100% harder! It's been so windy
here today that there are numerous trees and other various foliage and
assorted items littering the streets, and my piano tuning sign blew
down...twice!

Anyway, it is the unusually strong windy conditions that made today's
MUni ride so much more challenging. :eek:
I would'nt be exaggeratting to say that the headwind I was fighting on
the 1.5 mile return hill climb was at least 25 mph! To make it even
more fun, the continuous dust storms blowing sand and dirt in my face
was the icing on the cake.:eek:

+1
A great way to challenge yourself and improve your uni skill when you
can't get to the trails, or make boaring trails more interesting.

IMO all tricks help improve Muni skill, but some _much_ more than
others. Some of the best IMO are: SIF, SIB, seat drag, 1 ft riding,
riding backwards, gliding, coasting, hoping SI & SIF, rolling hops,
180's, still stands, UW, and BC.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

heck yes!


I am so short I can't comfortably ride 165s anyway:)


i think that 150s are really nice though, I haven't had any problems
with lack of torque.

I've ordered a Nimbus 24" ISIS Muni, and I have a question if the Magura
H33 brake would fit on that frame?

http://tinyurl.com/3o6bz6

If anyone knows, or if there is something to be attached before hand of
whatever?

Thanks,

Isaac

yea, you need mounts put on before you can put Maguras on. 'Link.'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=549) you also need the
magura mounting hardware (might not come with brake, depends on where
you buy it from). and you can't forget a 'brake handle mount'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=908). so after you get
all that, you can put a brake on your nimbus.
