  1. hi, im thinking of assembling a 20" bc. my lBS has a 20" wheel for $70
    that has a sun doubwall rim, alot of spokes, 14mm. axel, and some
    fairly good hub. that + 'this' (http://www.danscomp.com/) tire. would
    that be a good bc setup. plus some plates of course.

  2. would that setup work?

    the link to the tire just goes 2 danscomp. the tire that i would be
    using is called the Animal ASM tire. it is pretty much all slick so it
    seems really good.

    Would it be a good setup? Yes.

    Would it be a good bc? No.

    Don't get a 20" unless you plan on using it to hop up tables, or your a
    dumass.

  6. I dont know if Mornish knows so I will tell him. Evan swears by 24"
    wheels, alot of other people have20" wheels and they are great. Just a
    heads up 🙂

  7. You only want a 20" wheel if you are going to be hopping up really high
    objects.

    24s are not more expensive.

    20"s are squirly.

    20"s are slow.

    20"s are bad for any hand-on-tire moves.

    20"s Are harder to slow down with due to thier tire placment on your
    leg.

  13. Yeah, you will be happy with a 20" just ignore all of Evan's comments,
    once he likes one thing everything else is then [censored] to him.

  16. That tire would be good on a 24" but the way a 20" rubs your leg, knobby
    or slick, it dosnt matter.

    and the knobby tire really hurt my legs. thanks for the comments
