gayest setup award

here in the UK we have predominantly BMX trails, that guys on 26" and 24" also ride

having wasted alot of time and money on 4 different 24" bikes, I ended up going back to BMX for riding trails, skatepark, street and 26" for proper off-road dirt mountain biking action

if you are going to ride a 24" on bmx style trails, may as well get a nice bmx??

Im lanky and i dont like the feel.

tbh i dont give a shit whether you like 24s or 26s. i like 24s so thats what i ride. Im just asking for help with a frame. I used to ride 26 but 24s ride better for everything apart from freeride/dh and i have another bike for that.

yeah BMX's do have a very different feel to mountain bikes, very twitchy in the air. And he will want to ride things that arent perfectly smooth aswell

I've made up a table of a bunch of 24" frames you may want to take a look at. Should end up being the perfect resource for people like you looking at a new 24".

For f*cks sake, he's decided he prefers the feel of 24"s, and im with him on the fact that most trails and parks around here are too tight for 26" as I ran em for three years. This aint a 26v24 thread, its a help me find a new frame thread. If you arent going to say anything useful, SOD OFF.
