mornish said:then y have i seen spencer do better grinds on his 20 then you on ur
24?:p
I dout that but im not going to argue that.
However, The preformance that the 24" delivers its usualy not noticable
to the eye. Some things to watch for when you ride it are:
The wheel tends to stay slight more straight between your legs due to
its larger size.
Inceased speed in mounts and general riding.
It builds up speed better.
The tire is placed at such a place on your leg you can better control
it for braking, one footing, and other areas you need to use the tire
for control over the wheel.
One very noticable upside to teh 24" is for handwalking, bc spins, hand
braking and forward to backward hand transitions is the fact that the
tire is closer to you, which means you can keep your body more
upright, you dont need to lean over as much and your are over all more
ballance and in a closer to normal riding posture.
For grinds the plates are 2" higher and closer to the object you are
planing on grinding, whichs means due to your lower hops, you can keep
better ballance, and get better control over the grind.
Now, some of the up-sides i mentioned may not seem like you would
notice them much, if all when riding it, and yes, your right, some are
hard to tell. However if you really take the time and try them out, you
will be able to weigh the Pros and cons of either wheel size for
yourself and better determine which size you want.
