So I’m getting into dj from bmx and I’m looking for a dirt cheap bike that will do the job. Anyway I found one and I believe it is a 2014 Scott voltage yz 0.1

It’s got 24” wheels but I want to confirm that this frame is 26”, as the seller doesnt know.

Here’s the link for the bike:

Thanks and it looks like it has an inch clearance even with those wide tyres so do you think it will fit?

The chain tension isn’t very tight so there could be even more clearance

I can't tell by the picture but looks like it might be able to. I had an old norco 125 that was 24 and I was able to put 26ers with 2.1 tires on it

That link didn't work for me.

Also note that the Scott Voltage yz 24" is considered a youth-sized 24". It's not an adult 24".

I know these are old bikes, but it sorta illustrates the point. The left is a 2005 Specialized P.Street 24"; the right is 2006 DK Xenia 26". They both have 22" top tubes, so in that sense they're the same "size."

A youth 24" might have a front end that is 2 or more inches shorter than that.

In this example, the Black Market Mob on the left has 26" wheels, but is a Small, with a 21.5" top tube. It therefore has shorter reach than the Specialized P.Street on the right. The chainstay length (back end length) is pretty similar--around 15.5", and you can see that the 26" wheel comes closer to the seat tube. Also, a 24"-specific bike tends to have the bottom bracket closer to axle level (but it depends on the specific bike).
