poopipe Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 I pitty the foo' who has two different sized wheels on one bike like a mod then ?do a bit of research into the very very early days and you'll find a few bikes with 24" front and 20" rear - back when monty was still montessa n stuff. I imagine they stopped doing it for a reason though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 You have got the disc calliper and no rotar were is it want you bored for long enough or something. I bet it sidehops oright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 think about itit has totally changed the frame angle, more chance of looping out. it definately ISN'T going to side hop properly as you don't have the amount of movement to pull it up as you would with a 20" wheel on the front. Wont control on the front wheel either by the look of it. Definately wont bunny hop, and control on the back wheel, the front wheel is only gonna be a few inches off the ground.

Wtf are you on about Once the bike is on the back wheel, front wheel size wont mean shit. probs weigh a little more, but it wont 'loop out' any easier. And if you have your bike at an angle so the front wheel is only just off the ground there is something wrong with your riding. Looks......Odd to say the least..Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
