Miss-Higgy Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'm riding a 26" bike at the mo but it feels way too long. I can't get it on the back wheel. So i'm gonna look out for a new frame and maybe go for 24" wheels is this gonna be easier to get on the back wheel and manual etc????

Gaz96 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Get a shorter stem and maybe tilt your bars back, that is a much cheaper option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget if you go 24" you'll have to sort new wheels and whatnot as well, obviously. What frame are you riding at the moment? As Gaz said, you can play with stem and bar combinations to get what you want (shorter and higher for the front end is a good start).

Kwizera Simon Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Sounds like you need to go shorter with your stem. If it is still too long for you then look for a short 26" frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
