Undecided

Even if you have to shave your jewels? 🙂
It depends on what you have available. Are rugged mountain trials more
accessable than wide open bitumen? or is it the other way around.
I chose Muni because I live in Tassie. The whole center of the state is
crisscrossed with rainforest and MTB tracks. From my house i am about 5
min from four good riding tracks at least. some man made and some
natural.

24" i faster than 20" and it is noticable, i still wonder whether a 26"
would be better for muni, but i really like the 24" and believe
something else would feel too large.

By the way, i am heading up your way at the end of July. I am going on
a road trip from Sydney to Queensland. maybe if you want to ride just
PM me. although i have no idea about where what is. I havn't been to
NSW for about 10 years.

Jealous! Hopefully I'll get plenty of riding done at Makara when I move
to Wellington, but that'll certainly be more than 5 mins from my place.
Still, I like living in the city and always will.

Buy one of the two unis, then save up for the next :P

You want speed? Get a bike.
Muni is soooo much more satisfying. You don't travel so far so quickly,
but for me, the sense of acheivement on coming over even short
distances of tricky terrain far outweighs the feeling of getting
somewhere fast.
Have a look at the Qu-ax 24" Muni with a 3" tyre. It's bigger than the
average 26" mountain bike wheel so you'll probably move a lot faster
than on your 20" nimbus.

You could always get the KH29, and have the best of both worlds -> the
speed of a 29er and the strength of a splined hub.

uhm
actually... they would be the exact same size(2.0 on a 26" compared to
a 3.0 on 24 )

and considering the squish of the tire when actually riding, the real
diameter is probally closer to 24".

edit: unless of course you ride muni with a rock hard tire.

my vote goes for a 26" MUni, if you want to do more road riding you can
easily put on a smooth tire (like the hookworm) and it is not much
smaller than a 29. If you do lots of muni you can have a massive 26X3"
tire which will roll over roots like nothing else and be nice and
cooshey on landings.

It is nice, although over time you learn the trial and it no longer
becomes a challenge. I dont mind the city, although the country is more
fun. It is laid back and easy going.

Pick harder lines and/or put on shorter cranks, also try to roll over
everything.

A higher air pressure will also make the bumpy stuff harder.
