I want to get a muni but not sure what size i should get. It would be used strictly for muni. I am am about 5 8.

What style of muni riding are you going to do?

Are you going to go for the aggressive stuff with jumps, drops, rocks, roots, etc? Or are you going to go for the XC style where you're thinking about speed and distance?

I would mostly be doing drops and that kind of stuff

Then a 24x3 (Gazz or the Duro).

A 26x3 is big and heavy for that type of riding. The 24x3 is just right. Smaller, more maneuverable, lighter, it just works better for riding that requires tight maneuvering and jumping.

If I may say: questions like these would be better placed in the Rec.Sport.Unicycling forum. However, I don't think it is good style to repost a very similar question in Rec.Sport.Unicycling while this one is still active in JC.
