ok so, i have seen bikes with a 26" front tire, but a 24" rear tire. i can't understand why you would put a shorter tire on the back? please tell me why?, thanks

yes it would help out,increasing the frame angle(sitting lower,pointing upwards) your chances of going end over end are alot lower,but it all depends on what riding your planning on doing
