smaller back wheel on a 26"

It's not really a case of people running a 19" wheel on a 20" bike, they are made specifically to run the 19" rim and are just referred to as a 20" bike.

Would be a bit like if the trials world switched the rear wheel of a stock to 25" and everything was made to work that way not just a case of sticking a smaller wheel on, although as Akuska said yes you could stick a 24" wheel on but I doubt it would be worth it.

I think mods have 19" wheels because of tyre size - If you had a massive 20" tyre the tyre might rub and it would raise the chainstay. The idea of a 19" wheel is so that once you add on the 2.5" tyre, the wheels have roughly the same circumference.

It's not as much of an issue on stocks because of the proportions of it.
