I would rock a fundamental for 26" if you go that way . just because the geo of 26" on a 24" is not soo forgiving and your foot hits the front tire. 165 cranks kind of blow too. really bad for when you need that torque 170 is bad enough . For now on I will run 175 or 180's like I am now.

Got question.
Has anyone had a quark stem then switched to a bmx 48-50mm? Just wondering is there a benefit from it. Thinking it would give a bit longer feel up front and help with jumping since the bike is soo compact. Have a hard time pulling up off the trans and it feels like the bike is right there before I leave the lip.

Longer = more stable, less responsive.

About how much less? would it be something I could just learn to adapt to?

Everyone else seems to, so I would assume yes.

Well Since I started this for set up and product news . He is an interesting find.
Cult BMX and salt have dropped a new chain that has gone unnoticed in the 1/8 chain wars. Here is the P121 HD.
Basically its a khe collapse or whippermann IG8 in half link form. Great if you run an 8t driver or have a 9t , want to run something stronger than a 510HD and slam your rear. The design brings back the bushing and uses thicker plates making a chain the links won't snap or links that come apart within a short period on extreme usage .
