Purchasing a new MUNI?

24’’ or 26’’ is realy personal preferance( as well as crank lenght), I have never tried a 26’’ but do have a 24’’ so I can’t compare the two from first hand experience, but from what I hear the 26’’ is slightly faster.

A stock KH26 is a bit lighter than a 24’’ KH (5.8kgs for the 26’’ http://www.krisholm.com/khu/kh26 than 6.4kgs for the 24’’ KH) although alot of that wieght is in the tyre.

I think a 26’’ may roll better than a 24’‘, but a 24 is slightly less manaourable. A stock KH26 from KHU website has a much smaller tyre (2.3’‘) than the 24’’ with the 3’’ tyre, so it will not absorb shock as well as the 3’’ and proberly won’t hop as well I guess.

If you search the forums a bit you will find good infomation of 26 vs 24, a 26 will have more tyre choices. A 26’’ with a 3’’ tyre will be heavier than a 24’’ with a 3’’ tyre, also I have heard 26’’ are harder to control going downhill with the same cranks.

A Stock KH26 may climb better than the KH24 because of the lighter tyre, but I have not tried out a KH26 so this may be incorrect. You should try and find out if someone in your area has a 24’’ or 26’’ you can try out to see what they are like.

EDIT: Here are some threads that may help you

Hope this helps.
