Anyone have any experience whith a 24" rear wheel on their p-series bikes?
I need a new wheel (just tacoed my singletrack, too many botched 180's) and was debating whether or not to put a 24" on the back.
I would appreciate the help.
Peace out. :help:

it will wank with your geometry.
slackening your angles and dropping your bb an inch.

I know a guy with a small P.2 and a 24" wheel in the back. Its not a bad setup because the headtube angle is already so steep. I'd say do it if you want to.

i rode 24/26 for a while a really liked it, just keep your fork under 5".

Dude, run a 24" front wheel as well if yer gonna do it, i had a p3 with a 24" in the rear and the head angle was way slack. With 24s front and rear it feels balanced and i like the lower bb height. Or just build up a stronger 26" wheel.

I think a 24 would work because it would be better for manualling because with the 26, the bottom bracket is pretty low
