street uni and muni uni questions

24'' will be faster but it still won't keep up with bikers, and for for
street, most trials unicycles like the KH will do fine. hope that
answers some questions?

So I was wondering whether for my "pleasure riding uni (i don't think
i'll do tricks with that one :-)), It would be nice to have a muni for
both dirt and street riding, one that can go with a nice little speed
so i can keep the same speed as my bicycling friends or whatever, just
faster than on a 20"

Now I know that 24" is not as good as 26", but i would want a wheel
thats good for bumps and tree roots, as well as nice smooth road, and
faster than 20". what kind of wheel should i get? fat or skinny? (i
might even do a little trial riding too, if you know what i mean :-D).
Also, is there any muni in particular i should get? what about crank
length?

It sounds like by "street riding" you mean riding on a paved road,
rather than doing "street" style tricks. If you're not doing tricks
and doing a lot more rolling than hopping offroad, then a 29" wheel is
great. Depending on how steep the uphills are, a 36" wheel may be even
better. Bigger wheels handle bumps better, and they're generally
faster.

ok..........

the muni is what i'd like for pleasure riding, not the trial one. Im
hoping the muni could be 24", but i don't know how fat the wheel should
be, what kind, and so on. I would like that for street riding, mountain
riding, and maybe if im really up to it, ill try to do freestyle and
street tricks :-)

so how thick should that one be?

thanks

i recommend a 2.5" wide tyre. it is pretty multi purpose. great for Muni
and trials. plus its good for street and alright for freestyle. i ride
pretty much everything and thats what i use.

I was doing a wheelie on my bike and figured why not buy a unicycle.

I have a 24" muni with a 3" tire and it's the best but it depends on
what you want to do. if you think you would do more xc and don't want
the extra wheight go with the thin tire but if you do drops, steep
hills, rough terrain, logs etc. go with the fat tire. I can keep up
with bikes if there not going to fast but it takes some effort. I'd
get a 26", there just as good as 24"'s but they go faster. for extra
speed go with short cranks unless you are planning to go up steep
hills. Hope this helps.

if you are street/trials riding. go with a thick wall on the tyre. that
way you can get really low air pressure in the tyre without it screwing
over. plus its really good for the 'bounce' effect.
