Looking for a good MUni.

[UniLoose]

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.
