Here’s my Geared Muni! I use it for rpetty much everything now, I used to change my wheel depending on if I was going to ride some intense stuff or not, I think the Schlumpf hub is good enough for everything, I haven’t done drops over 4 foot, I dont have any problems with it (I think, I just gotta figure out where that big strange noise comes from, it doesn’t sound like a hub, it doesn’t sound like nothing on a unicycle, or nothing mecanical, stange stuff).
They’re lighter, they also look pretty cool. I haven’t sern anyone breaking momets cranks, alot of riders have drilled them already. It doesn’t make any difference otherwise.
The water bleeded brake works perfect! My Trials Biking friend showed me how to do it, it’s pretty easy, clean and it works well. Right now my brake is working better than it ever did, but I also have Steel Braided cables.
I remember seeing these, but not broken! I though that they were “over-drilled”. The holes on mine are not even 1/2", and I still have alot of space between the holes. I used to ride mine for Street but I really wanted to go back to 137s on my Muni so I’m currently still looking for a pair of 137s for my Muni, which will also end up drilled.
I considered getting my moments machined but it was cheaper, and lighter, just to buy some new spirit cranks. They weigh 2/3rds of the moments and would probably be stronger than machined moments as they have been stress assessed for their specific design. If you have an old set of moments and access to a mill (plus the skills to do it) then go ahead and have a go at it.
All unis are outfitted with KH Freeride seats, KH Moments 165mm, and 200mm rotors. The 36" is tubeless, the rest are tubed. I built the 29" Stealth last night, it will be set up tubeless with a Surly Knard 3" when they’re released. The 32" is going to get an Ardent 2.4 Frankentire next. The 26" Larry wheel makes skinny tires really fat, so the Intense 2.5 is the same width as a Duro 3", also the Larry rim can fit 4" tires when the going gets muddy or snowy.
I can swap wheels in a couple minutes, no brake adjustment necessary, all of the wheels fit on the 36er, the 26/29/32 all fit on the Oregon.
I leave Sunday for Moab and the California Munifest, two unis and four wheels
