Woodster Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have been thinking about it for a while but now im starting to realy consider going 24", I was wondering if you guys could tell me any pro's and con's of it.

Jon Alty Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Cant give any advice on how they ride as ive never ridden one, but one major disadvantage is you cant ride comps on 24's yet (i dont think?). I think because of the low BB on smaller wheels (than a 26) its easier to do manuals and things like that, which are decent for combining street lines and allways looks good Edited December 18, 2010 by Jon Alty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 If you aren't aware of the pros & cons, why are you considering it exactly? Not saying it isn't a viable option, they're great fun, but it seems like you're doing it for no real reason from your initial post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i know that when you do compete they go into the 26" catorgoy(spelling?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Ok, but the answers will depend on you so a bit more info wouldn't hurt. Help people to help you! Riding style? How tall are you? What do you currently ride? Where do you currently ride? What in particular were you considering getting? etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'm going 24 just to do some bunny hops. Other than that, i'm on the mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Mallinson Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Do you think: 1. You ride fast and smooth like not using your brakes as much as you need to. Or 2. Do you just hop around like more static moves than taking a run up. If you are the second one stick with Mod for a while and try to ride things faster and smoother. But if you already do ride this way go for a Zoot, its proberly your best option at the minute for a starter 24 inch bike, then you can upgrade it to how you like.

TrialsMan Dan Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 24" is also a good all round bike for everything, hoppy, more trials stuff and also the more flowy street stuff if you want to mix it up with some style. The Zoot is a good bike for getting into the 24" scene, good geometry for everything and is simple to maintain with its ffw and horizontal dropouts and simple v-brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Im pretty sure Ali C and danny mac' have competed on inspireds (correct bike?) But i know that when you do compete they go into the 26" catorgoy(spelling?) not yet, just built up a hex with a front freewheel and grippy tyres for natural riding though.
