Pros use 26in wheels because almost all good forks are made for them same with frames...also It is called a Mountain bike...not a 24in cruiser.

mountain bike = 26in wheel.

Piece of shit = 24in wheel.

Super piece of shit = 20in wheel.Wink Beer Salute

From what I've seen it's mainly English people who like 24's which is fine. I think they are stupid. 24" is not a mountain bike, it's a gay.

Exactly

I'm Scottish, not English

I also agree 24"s are gay

As you can see... 24's are gay. That's all there it to it. Mountain bikes are 26" that's what I plan on using.

Don't get a erection over what companies make 24" rims

They probably think 24s are gay too but they only make them to make more money you fanny

20" Wheels are better than 24s, sorry Balfa none of this rave was directed at you, dunno why i quoted Razz

Can anyone come up with a genuine reason as to why 26" are better, I don't think calling 24" gay is a valid point.

The people with 24" have already explained the advantages of 24", unless someone can come up with any real advantages for 26" I can't see that there is any point in having this discussion.


-26 rolls faster
-a lot of people ruin their geometrie by putting 26 wheels in a 24 frame
-26 can be built up lighter (am / xc is 26 too so you can use those parts)
-24 is too nervous
-24 DOESN'T spin faster than 26, people who say that talk shit, i've ridden both, and i know how to spin (360 hops, 540s, wallride-to-180, fullcabs.....) so i know what i'm talking about. ( --- this is to all those people who cant do a flat 180 but say that 24 spins easier)
-24 is too small for me
-26 can be used more allround than 24



here ya go Smile

No....

A set of jumps is called jumps

A trail is just a track on a mountain which has uphill and downhill bits to it
