I love this bike! The geo is spot on, and its just super comfy to ride. Its a little on the heavy side at 21.1 lbs. but it will get lighter with some new parts like lighter tires and bars. I love the 24" wheels, they feel so much more agile than a stock. The only things that i dont like about the slightly smaller wheels, is that tire choices are very limited, the nevegal is an ok tire but it is suuuuper heavy and really isnt the greates grip wise. The holy rollers are light but extremely squirmy on the rear wheel. So, i guess until tryall or continental make a trials specific 24" tire the nevegal will do. And i definetely noticed that the 24" wheel is harder to tap than a 26".
The brakes are immense, i went dual vee because they are light, cheap, and super easy for me to get parts for since i work at a shop. I would never do anything else on the rear, the bite and hold is astounding with a good setup. On the front they are just ok, you have to be really picky about what pads you use to make them work properly.
Thanks to Matt at MBT and Kevin Liu at wherestheseat!
