  2. No, be SURE to get a 3.0 tire. You can run them at really low pressures
    without bottoming them out, just like trials tires. It also rolls over
    stuff really well for muni.

    Bottom line: build a regular uni, but get good at hopping with the
    extra weight of a 24". There is a fair number of people who use 24s
    for pretty much everything.

  3. the problem with trials/muni tires is you have to have them be rugged
    enough for muni and light enough for trials. you have to find the
    perfect balance. 😉

  5. I ride my freeride (with a rail adaptor post) for trials, street,
    everything else, etc. and it works fine. You won't get the same
    lightness and hop height as a 19", and I think it's a bit worse for
    technical trials (posts, skinny gapping, etc.) but it works fine.

  6. 🙂 i'm also looking to get a unicycle that will be used

    65% of the time a muni and
    35% of the time a trials unicylce....
    probably this means a 24" since this is my favourite size for muni...

    apart from the KH's are there any cheaper versions...
    i live in Australia and only really have UDC and municycle.com to buy
    from

  7. Qu-Ax 24" muni, but upgrade the pedals.

    I've got one and I like it. It's a little on the heavy side, and the
    stock pedals are kinda wimpy. They're making weird noises and clicking
    and grinding after 2 months of not-that-extreme riding. Other than
    that it's a really solid cycle (and cheap).
