As I under it, 26" wheels with a nice fat DH tire are best for Downhill
and flatland riding, right? Is it also true that for uphill riding a 24" with a fat tire is better than a 26" with a fat tire because it is smaller and is easier to push up a hill. Still correct? So if I am planning to use one MUni for both downhill, flatland, and uphill riding it seems that a 24" with a 3" Gazzaloddi or intense would be best? If im wrong please correct me. Thanks, Max A.

The bigger wheel also gives a smoother ride and handles bumps/tree roots better. But the main thing I'd point out (having stayed on a 20" for a few years when most muniers moved up to 26") is that if you're planning to ride in a group, it's best to have the same wheel size as everyone else. Otherwise you'll be working hard to stay at the back of the group. -- Danny Colyer (remove your.mind to reply) http://www.speedy5.freeserve.co.uk/danny/danny.html "The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.
