So I've got an oppurtunity at a set of 24" wheels as my second wheelset that I'll use for street...Any opinions? They'll go on my Evil that you've all been seeing recently.
I love the feel of 24" on street, makes the bike more "bmx-ish", to me it feels like the handling is sharper and you can throw the bike around a bit more. So I'd say 24"... but that's only my worthless opinion.

24's are awesome for street. Less directional mass, easy to throw around, and are overall stronger. You may find it a bit tougher to find tires, but as far as street, Maxxis, Kenda, and Arrow all make sweet semi or completely slick 24" tires.
Personally I prefer my 26"s, but I switch tires for trail rides often. I do like the 26"s for bombing stairsets and over rougher approaches, feels more in "control" to me, but thats personal preference. Lots of cobblestones in Boston.

Well see, it's sell stuff on Ebay now, buy ticket, then I have all that time before I go to buy the wheels...this way I can get a good ticket and not spend $40,000 on it
