I would agree with the 26" as well since you have a 24" Nimbus. I usually take my 24" Torker DX and the 26" Torker LX out when I ride (I have to park and walk through some woods to the area I ride at). I changed the seat on the LX (stock one is not comfortable), put a WTB Stout tire, and Redline pedals. While the uni is not as strong as a pure play muni, it works for what I need (till I taco a rim). I am still looking at getting another muni, either a 26" Nimbus, KH, or Qu-Ax.

Well I was told by a guy that really knows his stuff that a 24" will teach you tech then go to a 26" for ride-ability.He said it can also be a bit intimidating at first to do trails on a Higher Uni. I thought about just getting a different wheel and converting my 24 Cruiser into a Muni. then get a 26" for cruising.AHHHH As it is I have an envelope collecting cash for my next purchase. I hear ya Animal!

Man If I just had an extra $5000.00 I could have everything covered...Maybe?
