  1. Hi
    Been tryin to decide what muni to get, and have some questions.
    My decision lies between the following: Kh24, Quax 24, or KH24 wheelset
    with nimbus style frame.

    Im leaning towards the quax, because of the price, but have some
    questions I need answered.
    -Can you feel a big difference between 165 and 170 cranks both with q?
    (quax vs KH/onza) – Am worried the 170s are too long.
    -Is 7.9 Kgs / 17.4 Lbs very heavy for a muni? (2005 quax24 weight
    according to Roland)

    I have a quax trials uni with 127 splined cranks, the crank length is
    comfy compared the 140s on the kh20 2004 with out q. And my trials felt
    really heavy when I first got it but am used to the weight now.

    Is it just a matter of getting used to whatever uni you have!

    Cheers
    Shaun

    The difference is marginal. I personally prefer 170 but the trend is
    going smaller for MUni. Don't let it guide your decision.

    I think my KH24 2004 is 7.6 kg. I've done MUni on a lighter uni too.
    It does matter but you get used to it.
