    I've debated for a long time now whether to get a 24" or a 29" to
    complement my Nimbus 20" ISIS Trials.

    I want a machine that I can go cross country, a little downhill and a
    bit of singletrack maybe.

    I've just ordered a KH Muni 29er from UDC with Snafu Pedals and a WTB
    Stout tyre for £300 because I'm 6`3" I thought a 29er would be more
    suitable.

    What do fellow unicyclists think about this decision? Do you prefer a
    29 er over a 24 if you're a taller person?

    for your requirements a 29 is far superiour, I started out with a KH 24"
    for muni, it rules for really technical DH and north shore stuff. Then
    i got a cheapo nimbus 29 XC uni. It transformed much of my riding,
    which was slow and easy on the 24, in to much faster and more
    challenging. Other guys in my group believe that the 29 is also better
    for technical stuff, having rode the same sections several times on
    both unis. Certainly once a decent 29er tyre comes out I think 29 will
    be the size of choice for all muni.

    Height doesn't matter, but what you said you were buying it for, you
    made a good decision.
