If you want speed, you might want to get 140's instead. I have 150's on
my Freeride and they are nice and speedy and arn't bad on hills. It is
so much easier riding the 24" with 150's uphill than my 26" with 170's,
but that might just be the wheel size.

If it costs the same, you could just buy the hub and try the cranks of
your trials, if they are no good your could get some 170's. O but that
would means your paying shipping twice. Never mind.

well thats what i though...I have that hub and cranks on my trials right
now so i could try the 140s on the Muni. Im not looking for speed
really...I just want a muni that can take some abuse but that i can
ride at a nice comfortable pace and enjoy the ride🙂

Do you already have the Hub/Crank set? Where are you buying it?

I get 1000% more enjoyment out of my 24" with 150's than my 26" with
170's, it is just so much more efficient feeling. Even if i'm just
plodding along the shorter cranks feel much smoother and alot more
comfortable. It is hard to compare my two muni's, cause i don't know
whats crank length and whats wheel size/weight. Maybe 140's might be a
bit too short but i feel that 170's would be too long.

My 20c.

Im ordering it in from the bike shop i work at. Its the same place i
got my trials hub from. Its only gonna cost me $100 because of my
employee discount.

Why do you ask?

I dunno why I'm replying, but here's my 2c...

I disagree with just about very component choice you've made.
You don't need a gel seat. Save the money and get a cf seatbase frm
Scott wallis when you can afford. Make a broken seat fund so you can
replace the KH as soon as possible.
A doublewide rim is overkill. I have ridden a DX-32 for over 2-1/2
years, and it's never gotten more than out of true. The wheelbuild, not
the rim, is what counts, assuming you don't bottom out left and right.
That hub/crankset is an awful choice. On top of a superior prouct
already being available for the same price, that hub is obsolete. You
will be hard pressed to find replacement parts, and the long cranks
will suck.

Maguras are a novelty until you really progress in skill. I rode muni
for 3 years without them. Get a better seat, pedals, frame, and
hub/crankset before you drop cash on maggies. Then, keep some $$$ on
the side to maintain them. There's always something wrong with a magura
on a muni, it's up to the rider to decide how much you can tolerate
before you do some maintainence.

A gazz is not required. It's nice for pure DH (Santa Barbara Saddle
Rock trail comes to mind). A gazz for smooth, fast trails like
Downieville is overkill and more of a peeve due to high rolling
resistance.

Theres only one thing ill say to this, and that is, NO BRAKES!!!

You really dont need them, we have our legs, thats good enough, even
when going down the steepest trails, Ive never needed brakes.
