View Full Version : 26" to 24" bedheadben 05-01-2006, 07:38 AM Hey you guys, I want to eventually get a Specialized P.1 when I have the money, and I was wondering, Why the 26" wheel up front? What do you guys do with that? It has a 24" in the back, and a 26" in the front, like my bighit, and I was wondering why. Why not just double 24's? standard235 05-01-2006, 05:40 PM You could get a 24" hoop up front if you WANTED to. I enjoy the feel of a 24" in back with a raised front. Whatever's comfortable for you. bedheadben 05-01-2006, 06:02 PM Ya, I'll probably just stay with the 26". namaSSte 05-02-2006, 06:04 AM Ya, I'll probably just stay with the 26". I don't know man, I have run dual 24s for quite some time and feel like they can't be beat for park and urban. Quicker and more durable. carbondude 05-09-2006, 09:52 AM the 24 in the rear allows for a tighter rear and handles quicker. but it also slacks out the head tube namaSSte 05-09-2006, 11:03 AM the 24 in the rear allows for a tighter rear and handles quicker. but it also slacks out the head tube true but you can offset that with the 2-4 up front and/or dropping the fork to 80mm or less. for park, street, and dj, I think that's the way to go!

JBsoxB 05-21-2006, 03:01 AM although some might call me retarded for doing so, i cannot handle a high front end, and would probably do whatever i had to to lower the front end (means upsidedown stem, chopped fork, and yes 24" front wheel) austinb89 05-21-2006, 09:24 AM You could get a 24" hoop up front if you WANTED to.

Ojai Bicyclist 06-08-2006, 06:05 PM You could either rebuild your wheel to a new rim with new spokes, or buy a new wheel altogether. I think the second option is your best. You'll get a higher quality wheel and you won't have to go through rebuilding your wheel. |
