monkeymoped Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I ve just picked up an old revell bikes frame and am wanting to put 24inch wheels on it ...would this be possible or is it just for 26 ??? As can't find much out about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Assuming you're using a disc brake rather than rim there's no reason it won't work. Might ride slightly odd though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yeah physically it'll work with a disc but the geometry might a bit odd. From an old thread: Chainstays - 400mm Top Tube - 571mm Seat tube - 310mm Head tube - 120mm Head Angle - 74 Seat Angle - 73 BB drop - +.5mm Wheel Base - 1020ish (haven't put a fork on it) So yeah, long chain stays and low BB will be interesting (you might want to run short cranks if nothing else) but crack on and enjoy.

Ross McArthur Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 It'd ride weird, even with 26" wheels. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeymoped Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yep gonna run a disc without a doubt and short cranks as used to short cranks on flatland bmx Its an old frame so prepared for it to feel weird . so 26 inch it is then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 i have a mod frame in my attic and the stays are so long it could fit a 24 with some slight modification 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Is that the one that was on Facebook marketplace for £20? But yeah, it's gonna make a 2009 Fourplay feel like a Skye! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
