  1. Are there advantages to a 26 inch MUni wheel over a 24 inch? If so, what
    are they?

    Bow to my shoe, for it is superior to yours! A result of extreme boredom
    and classical music.

  2. Consider the 26" more of a trails unicycle than an overall muni.
    It rolls over bumps better.

  3. a 26" will roll a bit faster and easier over rough terrain than a 24",
    but they are also heavier, and make hills take a little bit more effort
    at the cranks for the same result on a climb or descent.

    Longer cranks give you more leverage over the rotation of the wheel,
    meaning that longer cranks make hill climbs or descents easier. Best
    crank size depends on your build, some tall people can spin big long
    cranks smoothly with no problem, I'm 5'7" so I wouldn't go bigger than
    about 165s on a 24", but like I said, it depends on the person...and
    also what kind of hills.
