Can i put 24" wheels on my hardtail.
Does it depend on the frame?

I am looking at turning my old ride into an urban/beater/fun time bike.

thnx

what is your frame?usually you can fit 24" rear wheels on any ht that has disc tabs..it will slacken your HA and give you faster accelerations..
some frames have 24" wheel corrected geometries:)

might be hard to switch to a 24 in the rear then. unless of course you'd like to go off w/ no rear brake :D

what im wondering is are you putting 24"s on the front and back, if so i hope your fork has disc tabs, otherwise you can fit in with the BMXers at the local park, i should know i am one, lol. but yea, 24"s will give you better acceleration and help with jumping.
