Adam-Griffin Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 There's not many options for "24 forks but most people use "26 or "20 forks if their running a front disc and as far as i know TB do quite a selection of 24 rims and tyres etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strat-trials Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I got a mavic 24, if you can get them they are mint!slightly wider than a rhyno lite, pretty light, eyeletted.Just impossible to get hold of!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 You'll be very lucky if you can get some 24" Mavic rims, the only place I recall still selling them is in Australia and it would cost a fortune to ship.Personally I'd go with Rhyno Lites, it's what I've been using for the last year and a half and have yet to properly bend one even with my slightly erratic approach to riding.I've always liked the Tioga Multi Control saddle but they've never suited my bike so I use a Shadow Conspiracy Slim, pretty comfy and grippable for bar spins if that's your thing.Tyres are a personal choice and depend on your riding style, i'm a fan of DMR Moto and Moto Digger tyres but that's probably because I've been getting them free . Tioga and Maxxis make some similar models and the more trialsy Maxxis tyres also come in 24" if I remember rightly.For a large list of most 24" parts open to you check the > All Things 24"!, Rims and tyres list.. thread.Hope that helps and enjoy your new ride.Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those sound like the Zoot wheels. I've changed the rear hub on mine because I wasn't sure about the Onza rear hub although it felt reasonable- nice solid feeling engagement (I didn't actually ride the bike with the hub though...). Haven't had any problems with the rims though. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Forks:Pashley/px with mounts moved down for rim brakes. Whatever you want for disc brakes.Rims:Sun Rhynolite XL, Alex DM24, Tioga DHTires:I use Maxxis Holyroller 2.4 rear and Swable tabletop front, so does feeney (i think) - I have used this for natural too and is fine in all but the very worse conditions. Also look at tioga comp x tires, they are good too.Maxxis Swampthing are the best tire if you want something like what most people run on there 26" - if you ride if very wet/muddy conditions they will be good. Work well with a Moto Digger up front.Saddle:Tioga Spyder for the ultimate in pimp slimness, they also do the mutli control lite, which is what boon had for ages. Another option is the macneil slim seat with post, which is light and strong.You wil love rollin' on the 24's dude... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks for the replies guys, im not letting anyone know what iv got though till I get it built up.Got people wanting to sell me some sun rims or a front onza wheel so might go for that(but heard there mince n tatties). ive been looking through old mbuks for ideas n stuff. Think il just go for motos front and rear or a moto front and a factory tioga 2.3 rear.Iv got a set of pashley forks in my shed so might get a braze on kit 4 bolt and stick them on reversed. or if anyones got ashton forks to sell me ill prob have them.Cheers for the advice on the saddles mike. cant wait to give it a dig in dumbarton skate park.....and not break my beak.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
