Erin, since I just replaced the frame on my Yuni Muni (check it out on
my thread), I plan on doing something similar. I've got another 24"
wheelset that is equipped with a 2.1 inch knobby and a unicycle.com wide
hub. It will be going on my 26" Yuni frame, but I still haven't decided
on crank length yet

I certainly like TRUni better than 'TUni.'
But MUni is still the best.

I have a TRUni but didn't know it until now. It's a 29'er with Sun
Rhynolite rim, IRC Notos tire, 170mm cranks and pinned pedals. I ride
it on double track dirt and gravel as well as relatively smooth single
track. My "real" MUni with 24 x 3.0 Gazz is the way to go for rocky,
gnarly stuff, of course, but the 29'er is fun when I want to cover some
ground. I like to ride a 10 mile loop that's a combination of dirt
double track, single track, gravel road and paved road.

This setup isn't ideal though; I usually run 35-40 psi in the Notos to
give it some cush but drops are almost out of the question since the
tire will fold over easily. More pressure is bone jarring and hard to
ride through rock gardens. Even though the Sun rim is wide for a 700c,
it's not anything like a DX32.

I wonder if 26" wouldn't make the best TRUni? There's a huge selection
of 26" tires out there. Seems like a Gazz 26 x 2.6 (with it's stiff
sidewalls), DX32 rim and 140mm cranks would work really well for this
kind of riding.

Wow, those are pretty long cranks for the type of riding we are talking
about. Is that a conscious choice or just what you happened to have at
hand for this particular set up?

Yeah, good suggestion about the 26 inch wheel for a TRUni. You have a
good point there as we have tried the 29'er on trails but it does seem a
bit too big and yet it would be nice to have a little more speed than
the 24 inch wheel can deliver. And yes I think a 2.6 Gazz could be a
really fun tire to run for trail riding.

Hummm, who do I know who has a 26'er that I can test out as a possible
candidate for the ultimate TRUni set up....?!😉

Well, today we were toying with a set up that would work well on
off-road trails that are not as knarly as MUni routes but definitely
not the same as street riding.*

are you talking about xc?

I'd say it is more demanding than xc; perhaps, like 'easy MUni'. Not
just packed dirt roads but actual trails, sometimes single track, yet
without the big drops of MUni and none of the structures sometimes found
on MUni routes.
