  1. rolleyes: I'd like to hear from you which you think is
    better. I'm more or less a beginner in the world of Muni
    riding. Am just learning to hop(about 9" so far,
    vertically) and do drops of about 18" or so, nothing too
    tricky yet but I'm learning fast. I actually own both
    styles of frame and so far am partial to the Yuni because
    of it's slimmer profile and neater look. (It has chrome
    caps welded in place over the tops of the fork tubes
    instead of black plastic plugs.) Someone mentioned that the
    Nimbus II frame flexes less, however. How do you tell? What
    will I be doing before I notice a difference😕
    Also, does the Yuni frame have enough side to side
    clearance for the 3" Gazzalodi tire?

  2. Quoted message said:

    clearance for the 3" Gazzalodi tire?

    Unfortunately this is the only question I can answer, but
    yes. I think it can fit in a 26" Yuni frame but not a 24".

  3. How much side to side free space is required of a frame to
    prevent rubbing of the tire when executing sharp turns or
    sideways hops etc. and to prevent the rocks that are picked
    up by the tire from clinking on the frame? Is there kind of
    a standard that you should shoot for?

  4. I think my next 3" tire will not be the Gazz. The Cujo DH (I
    think that's the one) is a few mm's thinner, allowing for
    more clearance

  5. Yes I kind of agree with Sofa, although I don' tthink I'll
    need another tire for a while. I like the Gazz, but it tends
    to rub enough to get annoying for me. But saying this, I
    have no clue how it would fit those frames.
