Re: Looking for a good MUni.



>From my personal experience, i would suggest a 24" Onza, as its
basically invincible. I've used it for Muni, Trials, Street and
Freestyle and as long as you don't go totally overboard its perfectly
stable and really strong. I've done stairs, 2ft drops and cranklands
with it and its outlived both of my mates unis,  who both have square
tapered hubs that have twisted out. Of course, it depends on how extreme
you are likely to go, but i would strongly recommend splined cranks,
especially on a $500 budget. 

On the issue of size, mine is a 24" rim with a 2.6" kenda kinetics tyre
with 165 splined cranks, and its not as quick as my mates unis, but the
extra length really helps on muddy hills, and as far as i can tell the
bumb absorbtion is fine for mid to extreme trails. For £230 (about
$400?), its the best uni u can get for the price, i'm sure(well it was
when i got it, the KH is out at unicycle.uk.com now  ;) )


The only problem i've had with my onza so far is the left hand pedal
bearing is slightly loose, but You never notice it during normal
riding.

Hope this helps.
