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.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.

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