Thom Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 for streety trials how do you think it'll ride ? would it just stuff up the geometry ? by the way its not a dedicated trials frame, its a norco. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 yes I would be running disk brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 i think Steve A did the same thing with a 26mhx while his leeson was being repaired :) but it think it would ride poo to be honest :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials_joe Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Yeah, it would'nt ride as good as it would with 26" wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycletrials Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 hi whats 2inch, u mite aswel go for the 26" more bits out for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 The bottom bracket will be lower (closer to the floor), which might not be desireable effect. But if you're riding a norco, I guess you're doing proper streety trials anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabeychris Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I did it on my Revell for a week. I found it tones easier to manual and to bunny hop! The only reason i didnt stick with it is i didnt get on with a m4 on the rear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 yeah this (norco moment) will be my streety trials bike. I have my other bike for real trials. Cheers for comments, any other opinions are welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 putting 24inch wheels would make the bike tons easier to throw around but it does feel slightly wierd switching from 26 to 24. 24s also make the bike feel twitchier and that can elp depending on your riding style.

joshywa Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 mate if you wanna try it just do it !!! if you dont like it then sell/swap the rims for 26" ones .. sorted :closedeyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 and longer spokes and a wheel build and setting up your back brake again. it all adds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
