I am new to unicycle community but I would like to know,
what can you do on a 24 inch muni that you can’t do on a 20 trials?
And vice versa?
ona 24 you can go faster…
on a 20 you can flip the pedals and so unispins and over all street and trials better…
The names say it: one is a MUni, the other is a trials uni.
A 24" MUni is better for MUni because the larger wheel will roll more easily over obstacles, and also because you cover more ground per revolution.
A 20" trials is better for trials, mainly because it is lighter. The wheel might be somewhat stronger too.
Couldn’t you ride cross country trail with a trials unicycle?
There’s no reason why not, other than you would go very slow.
I can make a good comment because I just switched from a 24" muni to a 20" Trials today,
Get the trials.
why did you switch to the 20" trials?
He most likely did it because trials and street are more popular nowadays… Or he didn’t have anywhere to Muni…or he just felt like it…
Really, it’s your personal preference. If your gonna be doing technical Muni trials, get a Muni. You could learn trials and street if you really wanted to on a 24" like Justin Khose but that’s not recommended. So just ask yourself, “Do I want to do trials or Muni more?” and your answer should determine your unicycle preference.
Start with the wheel size for the type of riding you want to do most. Later on you’ll get the other one. It’s not that big of a problem. If you like to get places, get the 24". If you’re more interested in getting over the obstacles, get the Trials.
Wise advice. Get the one that will get the most use to give you a lot of seat time.
I switched because:
Yeah I love to muni, but I really am interested in Trials and in my mind, trials and street looked a lot more fun, so I got my Nimbus. So far, I like it.
Though I have a question too, I used to, (on my Torker LX 24") be able to sidehop up 30cm.
But now, on my nimbus I can do it sometimes but not all the time. Is this normal?
24 is better on soft ground
A wider tire with a larger contact patch lets you ride through sand that would sink a 20.
hi,
i fully get the idea of what would make a 20" and a 24" different but just to throw a spanner in the works? what the difference with a 20" and 19"?
is it that the 19" is a tad more agile?
thanks
19" rims are made specifically for trials and the fat trials tire (even though they usually say 20"). 20" rims wont fit a trials tire and are generally used for freestyle and other types of uni.
does the OD of the fat 19" tyre work out similar to the OD of a 20" one?
I used to ride with my friend on weekends - me on my 24" “ebay” uni and him on his “cycle design” trials 20"
Obviously I could go faster and at the end of the day he was always really tired
Today I got my Qu-ax 20" trials/Muni and went for a ride with him
I found it heaps fun, being able to go for new things.
Overall I like my 20" heaps more
But its not up to me, all these guys are right- you choose the one that you think you’ll get the most use out of
I’m not really sure. I’m only experienced with the 19" trials.
When I was messing with fish tanks, they multiplied and before you know it there were 4-5 in the house. When it was antique clocks they too multplied.
With unicycles 'started with old model Schwinn 24, along came Torker 24, then a 36, recently a 24 DX.
You can always think of some reason why another unicycle would be good.
The bottom line is that whichever you buy now; sooner or later you will get the other, as was stated above.
