My Options

There is very little difference in the speed from 24"ers to 26"ers. I
know someone has figured out the calculation, and I swear I am right in
saying that. For longer rides get aa 29" or a 36", I realise that the
parts are more restricted.

A 24" with a big tire it pretty much is a 26". go ahead and get a
bigger wheel.

yea i would definetly get a geared hub if they where out, but they
aren't and wont be for awhile and i cant wait. Even when they do come
out, i dont know if i want to fork over $1000 for just a hub. that's
crazy! $1000! or more! for just the hub!

Im betting it will probly be more for the hub alon...Plus you need the
special frame! Thats alot of money to be forkin out. Im my opinion if
you want a unicycle that can cruise and you can do some muni on then
get the KH 29er.

I like the idea of putting the money aside for Moab, then starting to
save for a new MUni of whatever type.

you could put aside like $50 out of every $100 you get for moab, and
then you would still have money for a uni.

If I had a 24" MUni, I would not bother to build or buy a 26". I bought
a 26" in 2003 and didn't bother to build or buy a 24" since then. The
difference is simply not large enough to be worth having two unicycles
around for (unless you're getting into your second dozen unicycles); if
you really want your MUni to be faster, just get shorter cranks on it.

Going to Moab vs. not going to Moab is a huge difference. Save the
money and go.

If you're going to build another unicycle, I would keep the 24" the way
it is and build a 29er for speed and cross country.

seth, do u still have ur old fusion saddle that came on ur freeride? if
so u might as well just by a bunch of parts, and then ud save $55 on
the saddle, and could have a uni that works for u pefrectly. because ud
get to choose the parts. miles.

yea i would use my old KH fusion and my old seat post to save some
money.

About the new frame with those geared hubs, you dont need a new frame,
but you do need to shave down a part in your bearing housing. But thats
better than buying a whole new frame. its not to hard either, aluminum
is soft metal.

i would still go to moab, i would just have to save the money later.
Trust me i wont blow off moab for a 26" uni...that's for sure!

But i think ill just screw it and save to getta KH geared hub, then i
could go as fast a a coker with a click of a button.

I still have to sell my dirtbike so there's $2000 right there. I will
just put $1300 or so on the hub and have $700 spare.😉
