    Well i finally learned how to post the pictures and what not of my KH
    26" uni.

    This has been my project over the the last month or so.

    _*Specs*_

    KH 29\" FRAME

    PROFILE WHEELSET WITH 175MM BLACK CRANKS, SWISS DT SPOKES, ALEX DX32
    RIM [/B](BOUGHT WHEELSET COMPLETE FROM PDC, BUT NOW HAS CHROME 150MM
    CRANKS)

    *JIMMY C. PEDALS

    [B]Gazzaloddi tire* (perfect clearance in the frame)

    *Old style KH seat post *(much lighter than new adjustable one)

    *KH gel seat *(now has airseat for those long xc rides)

    And *Magura Hydraulic brake *(had to make a mount out of aluminum to
    fit the brake on, but was an easy to do fix)

    This Muni is the king of the trails. It really is much faster than my
    24 and rolls things better. Mine weighs just over 16 lbs. so its not
    terribly heavy either.

    I dont think i will ever go back to a 24.

    Im not sure how the pics will turn out, but here they are. There was
    more also but i couldn't resize them right to put this on.

    Very nice. That 29er frame fits the wheel pretty good (except the brake,
    but your fix looks great).

    Its too clean.

    Why did you go with JCs for a muni? Aren't they a little slick? I love
    them for street, but wouldn't even consider them for muni. Have you
    tried that configuration out yet? I'm curious how they do for muni.

    The JC's are great for Muni! They are wide and grippy.

    That is so cool! I ride a similar 26" MUni (Suzue hub, no brake,
    Pashley frame, Doublewide rim); I'm wondering what to do when I finally
    outgrow a square taper, and this looks like a super approach.

    Have you tried a Gazz Jr? 26 x 2.6. It has a similar volume to the
    *24*x3.0 and is the same weight, so it would be a lot lighter than the
    3.0 with excellent riding characteristics. Also it is a little narrower
    with respect to the rim, so in effect it has better sidewall support.

    NO, i dont have any other shots of it. But next to my KH24 it looks
    noticably bigger. It's about from the rim to the top of the tire bigger
    than my KH 24 with a Gazz.Yep, I really like this Muni. With the 175mm
    cranks you can power through anything, and with the 145 (actually 150)
    you can cruise along and it doesn't feel so slow like my 24.
