Ollie Histon Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I've never ridden a 24in and nobody around my end has one for me to have a go, just curious about what sort of stability they have on the rear wheel? does it feel something similar to a 26in zebdi? or giant or something? or is it totally different to them?

Brian Bleech Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Yeah I would say that is a decent comparison. They are perfectly good on back wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah I would say that is a decent comparison. They are perfectly good on back wheel I second that. But it's your mindset at the end of the day. If cloud your mind with all the disadvantages of a 24'' (everything sure has a disadvantage right?), then you wouldn't find the feel of it good.

Henrik Y Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 When I compare my 24" Inspired with my 26" GU Typhoon the 24" feels heavier on the backwheel but could depend on the heavier fork and different steam and handlebars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 When I compare my 24" Inspired with my 26" GU Typhoon the 24" feels heavier on the backwheel but could depend on the heavier fork and different steam and handlebars. That'll likely be down to the high BB and short chainstays of the GU too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 It's a good thing that 24'' are short enough for street, and long enough for trialsy moves. Stem length do play a part I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
