24's ride way better than 26 for jumping, park and that. how do u not know anyone with 24' wheels!?! pretty much what everyone rides in the uk. generally though 24's on a 26' frame doesnt work that well cus ull be too close to the ground and the chainstays would be kinda long.

im moving to the city, and all i usually ride is freeride and DH, everybody i ride with rides big bikes almost exclusively. starting to like the idea, plus 24s are far stronger, and i go through wheels at a crazy rate


24" wheels aren't stronger, it all depends on what rims/spokes you got

actually it depends on the quality of the wheelbuild. also smaller wheel = stronger wheel, if same designs and materials apply

in theory that's true, but in reality it doesn't matter

ya i ride fine on my 08 stp frame with 26's on trails, park, and street but iv been thinkin about goin 24's cuz it seems like youd have alot more control. and im not a very big guy, so i thought it would be perfect for me.
but i think it will look ugly and might be a big differance in how it feels
