I had Rick Hunter build me up a 24" Muni with a bearing
spacing to fit Scott Bridgeman's Hub. The hub has been
fitted with Kooka 170mm cranks.
There have been a few threads discussing this hub in one way
or another, it seems to have a polarizing affect on people.
For those interested, I've set up a gallery with pics of the
hub and the completed Muni.
I've been out on a few very tough Muni session with this new
set up and my initial impressions are very favorable. My
main concern was whether or not I would like feel of the
Kookas, I had never ridden them. Well, I tried 'em and I
love 'em. This is one serious rig. I've been a Profile guy
for nearly two years and never really thought about using
anything else. Until I suffered the dreaded loose keyway.
That's what led me to try the Muniac hub. I'd followed it's
creation and testing on Scott's now defunct board. As far as
the testing and durability issues, I am confident that those
issues have been well documented. I wanted to give it a try
and I am very glad I did. I didn't want to go with the
Wilder frame for a few reasons. I've always felt more at
home on a Hunter than other frames I've tried and owned. So
for me, there was really no question which way I was going
as far as the frame. Plus I wanted the option of using a
brake. I've got a couple other Hunters and have always had
great dealings with Rick. He'll build you anything you want.
