Huni-rex

wow… i thought they dropped to that price to be discontinued.

I’ve had a ride on a huni and it is a weird beast and a pig to mount. Imagine riding only in top gear on a schlumpf but unlike on a GUni, you are stuck with a 39er wheel the whole time and the rollover ability of a 26. The crank position feels a little weird but can be got used to. Due to the gear up, the wheelset feels ~50+% heavier than it really is.

Pedal strikes were not a huge issue for me as it turns like a oil tanker.

What it does do is GUni or 36er speed on the cheap in a smaller package. Most of my dislikes of this could be worked through by a determined rider and the reward offered of scalping b*kes on the morning commute is sometimes too good to miss. If you are planning on buying this, put a foss tube in it and maybe even find the lightest tyre that feels ok, it should make it more manouverable.

If you want crazy though, i knew a guy who took one of these, stretched the frame and shoved a 36er wheel in it.
