'Kornfeld' (http://www.antioffline.com/hkorn/desk.htm)?

What does bein' hard have to do with riding muni? I think you're a bit
confused, 'pa.

As for the ulti-Muni, I've got one word. Profile. Nuff said. I'm out.
Peace.

ehh, im not looking into buying one. Im just wondering what would go
into a truly ultimate MUni.

does everyone agree with unicyclepa's answers? Is there anything else?
How would a suspension fork be? Good/Bad?

I think its to good to be worth it. Just use a normal Muni and dont be a
wimp.

But I've never ridden a spuspeion muni before, so I dot have room to
talk. It would be a cool thing to do but hardtail unis are just more
normal.

Let me rephrase what I said earlier... you're -really- confused.

---

The magura brakes with an adjustable drag are the pimp offroad setup...
they'll save energy on those lo-o-o-ong downhill runs.

As for the frame, a rounded crown will limit your ability to do
one-footed skills... now before you go asking who would do anything
one-foot offroad, let me say there's a few folks who can rock the
one-foot / glide on singletrack, and many more who are working on it...

e39m5 *

Suspension forks, like the fork for a MTB, are bad bad bad on a uni.
The legs won't compress evenly. Pedaling a unicycle puts uneven loads
on each leg of the fork. Suspension forks aren't designed for that.

Suspension seatposts can work. But are a maintenance headache. And
they require a long seatpost so are only useful for tall riders. Even
if you can get it to work it will end up wearing out or breaking in
short order. They're simply not designed for the abuse of muni. Muni
(or any unicycling) will put a lot of twisting forces on the suspension
seatpost. Those same forces don't happen on a bike so the seatposts
aren't designed to handle them. That's why they break or wear out
quickly.

On a muni the suspension is in the 3" tire and the airseat. That's the
most reliable system.

But it was really cool when it was the only commercially available muni
that fit a 3" tire and had a splined hub. 🙂

you sould add a "BAD" evertime you cut and paste that comment about
suspention forks on a uni.

since this question gets asked once a week now it would be kinda fun to
see how may "BAD" you can get in there and we will be able to track the
number of times this redunadant Q gets on the board.

I think it was closer to 6 months between the time that the DM Vortex
was available and the Profile hub was available. The kicker though, is
that the Vortex was available at the beginning of the riding season
while the Profile hub was available after the season was pretty much
over. 🙂
