ive tried a mob with 24s

IT sucks!.

the bb becomes very low and unless u have 165mm crankarms. its goona b tight from hitting the ground..

having 24 also throughs off the manual point becuse ur perdy much makin the chainstays longer if u think about.

all an all keep the 26" it what the frame is built for, i know on mine im not switching up. if u want lighter wheels grab a 721 for ur front and drill it. maby some light tubes too. aswell for looks and weight grab a 140mm roter for ur rear. also ti spindle loose you alot of weight.

YES!!!!!!! this boy knows what hes talking about!! except dont get a 140mm rotor, you will rip it right off your hub, it was the most retarded thing avid did.its to much pressure on a small area and its spread into your hub, you dont want that 160mm is the smallest you can go.The mob was designed around 26" wheels , just keep em

No? I have a 140mm Juicy Ultimate on my STP and it works just fine. I don't know what you're talking about ripping off a hub.... It's not made out of plastic. Locks up just fine too.

well i dont know you and have no respect for you.i dont need respect from a 14 Yo grom to make myself feel worhty to bike...i started this thread to get suggestions for my bike.so if you dont want to see it, dont friggin come to MY thread...ive only asked in mob related threads to see if any mob owners have tried it...unfortunately i dont have rich parents to buy parts for me or, i would have a spare set of 24's..so give it up already , no one listens to what you have to say if its negative....stay in school

Firstly, I'm only commenting because I think you're wasting your (valuable) time, and I thought maybe you should go try it on a real bike, instead of bumping the thread again and again. Secondly, I'm not 14, and my parents don't buy my parts, and I have a job.
To tell the truth, I hope you find the answer, but I didn't think that was the best way to do it. I'm trying to help you, and you need to calm down a little bit. I was polite about it, and I hope you'll be polite as well. Sorry to clutter your thread and make you angry.

haha, i actually have scotty cranmer duo grips in black right now...but i think i may get brown grips to match my seat, then green eastern..or i may get red premium pedals to save some weight and paint the sprocket red to match, then green chain, maybe green animal stub post...maybe green eastern BB and headset to match
