+ I have begun the process of building my own MUni (Mountain Uni), planned
+ to have a 26" wheel, 36 spokes, 175mm crankarms.

Have you thought of having more than 36 spokes?
freestyle bikes have 48 spoke wheels for extra
strength, and you are looking for strength I thought I would mention it
but I guess that is for a 20 inch wheel and not 26 inch... and perhaps
that won't work

High flange hubs along with double butted 4 cross spokes is also strong.
You may consider this..
this to is for 20 inch and not 26 inch.

+ Then there are the dodos who ask me questions like "Do you want a front
+ rim or a back rim?" They always ask what kind of bike it is for. When I tell
+ them it's or a unicycle they say "No, no, no, bike rims won't work on
+ unicycles, you need special unicycle rims and we don't have any here."
+
pfft!

have fun riding over rocks
