Here's a question I've been dying to ask someone.
How would a 24 inch tire go with a 26 inch frame?
It's like this: a few months back when I was trying to figure out what
kind of uni (or Muni) I should get, everyone I spoke to thought that a
20 or 24 inch would be a good place to start. For several reasons, I
was determined to get a 26 inch (chief reason is my height)-- I knew I
wanted to get a fat knobby tire.
Well...
I was told that a 26 inch is harder to learn on than a 24 inch. Only now
is it dawning on me how true that might be...
Still, I didn't listen. I got a 26 inch. I totally love it, and I'm
having a real blast with it.
However, my freemounting STILL sucks, and I always give up the ride
after 400 feet or so because my knees get wobbly and my fear of falling
makes me chicken out. I always get back on (thanks to a stop sign or
something like that). But my riding experience is more like sprinting as
opposed to the cruising I was hoping for....
Like I said, I love unicycling more than anything, but I have to admit
that I'm dissapointed in my own slow progress (Been riding since late
May 04). Cracking down on the old freemounting problem is a fun
challange, but it makes me feel like I'm starting all over again just
trying to get it down..
Sometimes I wonder, would I have been better off getting the Nimbus 24
inch Muni instead of the Nimbus 26 inch Muni?
The ultimate question--is it better to get a 24 inch wheelset to stick
on my 26inch frame? or would it be better to just get a second
unicycle???
