Got my new Muni today.
First impressions are pretty good. So far I’m fairly impressed. The uni seems solid, and specc’ed out pretty good. I like the stock pedals that it comes with, and the fact that they are alloy and not plastic says something to me. Welds all seem respectable, frame clearance is excellent, and I prefer acorn nuts and hex nut’s to allen bolts (seat and bearing caps).
It’s heavy, but the wheelset appears to be pretty beefy. The cranks are steel, so I’m not going to worry about spacers on the splines, I’ll just keep them tight.
I am impressed with the seat cover, and may try to save it if I can.
There are only a few flaws which are (so far) pretty minimal.
First off, the wheel set is pretty poorly tensioned. This could be the reason some are breaking spokes if they aren’t going over the wheel first.
Second, I replaced the tire with a Cyclops, and holy sh*t was it a battle. I broke a tire lever, and managed to scratch the rim in a few spots with plastic tire levers . I hope to never have to mount/unmount a Kenda Kinetics ever again.
Third, overall finish is on par with Nimbus, which is to say still kind of lacking. There were a few paint chips and a small scratch. NBD and nothing new compared to other uni manufacturers.
And last, the inner spacers between the hub flange and the bearing are a bit loose, and jingle-jangle when you hop. Could easily be fixed by bumping the bearings in a bit, but I really don’t care that much.
I bought this unicycle to beat on, and it looks like it’ll fit the bill.
