Hi

I've just purchased a Nicolai 2MXTB, :D.
I am planning on setting it up as a SS street bike and was planning on using 24" wheels, My current bike has a 24" at the back and a 26" up front and I was thinking that the 2MXTBs headangle would be too slack for that setup. But I'm worried that 2x24" wheels will mean the BB is too low. Does anyone have experience with the 2MXTB in these setups, or could anyone advise me as to what wheel setup I should run.

Thanks

Well I have only run the 2MX in a 26x26" combination...and as far as I know everyone on teh team has only run 26x26" set up. I would run 26x26" you have a bit more tire and rim options as well. If you do decide to run a 24" rewar and a 26" front I would try and run a fork that has no more than 4 inches of travel. You would also get a lot more responses if you posted this in the dh forum....D
