Muni Choices!!!

A 24" is pretty much the standard. For Downhill you can use whatever you
want and actually a lot of the downhill races end up being won by people
on 20" unis. Really it all comes down to what you like the feel of.

Traditionaly a 24" is the downhill beast, 26" for technical cross
country where you want the bigger wheel to go somewhat faster but you
want something smaller than a 29er so its more maneuverable, and the
29er is usually for cross country riding.

That being said, there are many people who use all of these unis for
downhill and it really comes to choice.

I used to think a 26" was best for me and after a few rides I hated it
and now I have a 24" and I love it.

depends on your size and type of riding. i have a 26" and only weigh
158lbs but i love it. of course it matches my trails too. but i would
go with the norm and get a 24"; you won't be disappointed.

It is definitely a good first one. Another great option although
expensive is to get a KH 24" wheel and put it in a KH 29" frame that
way its easy to switch wheel sizes, but its an expensive route.

Actualy I would recomend going with the Nimbus 24" muni. It is cheaper
and lighter than the DX, plus it is alot easier to find parts for. It
also comes with and has room for a larger tire.

Doesn't on the Nimbus, when your ready you can start swapping or for
KH parts? Or are they not compatible.

yes the nimbus and KH hub are very similar, fitting the KH moment
cranks on the nimbus hub is a very popular choice for trials riders who
need something stronger than the nimbus cranks.

I have a 24 on the way...i hope its good:p

I made a thread about this a while back and again, the general response
was that the 24 was the most diverse, and best over-all muni size

I bought a nimbus seat a while back and have it in most of my vid's. I
love them and have never had a single comfort problem. The only issue
is the bolts were wiggling lose, but a lock washer stopped that 🙂
