Anyone Else Have This Problem?

After 3 weeks solid of using my coker and not using the 20" for about a
month. It felt so strange to get on the 20" again. Like I'd forgotten
how to ride. The effect didn't last for long - a couple of minutes
before I got the revolutions right. It was fine getting back on the
coker afterwards though.

A couple of times with the coker I have forgotten I was riding such a
heavy wheel and tried to set off with too little woomph. I went forward
but the uicycle stayed where it was.

Hmm, has never happened to me. Ill be riding my trials, then got to a 24
easily, then back to a trials, then go ride a 29er for a few days, then
back to my trials, then get the urge for the giraffe, so ill ride that.
I havent had the problem you described.

Lucky you, Jerrick. Some people do seem to adapt to different sizes
more readily than others. I've recently been riding my 29 exclusively
and about 3 days ago I decided to get out my 24 just for fun. It
seemed really twitchy and responded to my inputs much more quickly than
the 29er. I felt really unstable on it and it took me about half an
hour to get comfortable on it again. The past couple of days I've been
making it a point to ride each one every day and I'm having no trouble
switching back and forth.

The problem is more pronounced when you go from one to another
immediately. Most people can relate if they have been rollerskating for
awhile, and how funny it feels to walk afterwards. I was riding my
Coker with a friend who had a 24" Torker, and he asked me to see if the
pedal on it felt bent. I had to go about 50 yds until the muscle memory
wore off till I could handle the smaller wheel, but I never have that
problem when all I ride is my Coker or 24" Muni for the day. This
problem is what makes riding the Schlumpfs difficult for some people as
well.

yeah I used to have that problem really bad after not riding my 20" for
almost 6 months I could barly get on or ride it but now I don't really
feel the diferance that much. it takes mabey a minute to re adjust.

One thing I noticed is if I got the hang of somthing on my 24'' it
would become alot easyer on the 20'' like hopping. after being on the
muni for a while I could hop about 6-8'' I found when I went to the
20'' I could hop 10-12 inches.
