I've just moved from stock to a 24", got to say I lm glad I got it! Feels way lighter on the back wheel and its roughly the same weight, find that I can gap further on this bike and side hop, but I can't tap as big.
I've not ride any natural yet though.
Avid x0 carbon!
Just ordered some of these on sale, the reviews look good and they came 2nd in mtb magazine, that's only because they was £200. Or they would of came first.

Have a search on google for a "one way roller bearing" they can only spin one way and have "unlimited" engagements. I just think someone should make a freewheel like that. People have already made hubs like that but they are pretty heavy and expensive.
just found this, not sure if anyone has put it on the forum already though http://www.redbull.co.uk/cs/Satellite/en_UK/Event/Red-Bull-City-Trial-021243239765885
red bull trials session is on, anybody fancy riding manchester that day?
meet at picadilly gardens around 11 o'clock?
just hope the weather is decant!
