lets see some pics of your 24'' downhill bikes.
who's using 24'' DH wheels? got pics?
- Thread starter wingman24
- Start date
whos using em ??? people who don t know shiat about dh....
why dont you just go to specialized website and look at the old big hits. ohh wait you want race bike pics with 24's on them. yeh good luck they dont exsist. the mythebusters even busted this one. lol.
thank you fellas. BubbaSmith I told you, your the only one, now where is my beer? (just a little wager Between friends)
don't worry, I'll never see the pay off either:angry: but anyway bubba thinks that the fact that he uses 24'' rims and 3.0'' tires and hasn't had a flat in like 3 years (air volume or some Sh@@) is a good excuse for being SLOW!!!!!!!
Bubba your the only one, 24's stopped being considered as a viable option like 5 years ago, My Indy9 729's are still for sale, just come over and buy them

funny stuff lol
3" tires were never a viable solution, just so you know.
i used to Run a 24 on the rear to slacken out My headtube angle some........ Key word Used to.... doesnt roll over fer crap..... Gots a taller fork though so i was able to go back to a 26 .... Way more Manouverability <Spelling>

I actually laughed out loud at that. I tried one of those amphi bikes ones..had 18" wide paddle tires.
I race my bighit. It seems to run over stuff just fine. I would like a new bike though.
I think they were more like snowcat width 20s. Nothing but bling for me. They needed spinners though.
your not the only one.
the sad part is the bike got stolen and now i'm riding a dhr with a 26" rear. there are some things that just cant be done with a 26" rear wheel, when you konw how to ride a 24".

24s suck, i just use 20s
holly **** i think that is officially the heaviest and most awkward looking gian dh that ive ever seen. are you running 3.0 kujo's on that thing. wow. no comment other than 24's suck and 3.0's have no place on a bike.
I'm not talking 24'' rear, that works in some cases, I'm talking two huge 24'' arrow DHX rims with some arrow 3.0 tires "stuffed"on there, than two massive tubes, and a rim strip...Bubba you should go tubeless on those things...............your rotational weight is like 27lb, and, NO, I don't care that they spin up real fast, bucause they spin out real fast as well.....Where is my beer??
okay for that you just need to laugh at him and tell him that he needs to stop. tell him you wont ride with him anymore cause hes embarassing you guys with his 12 year old antics (sorry not the best spelling)
the front tire is a 26x2.65" and the rear is a 24x2.35". the bike was only 43lbs.frznnomad said:holly **** i think that is officially the heaviest and most awkward looking gian dh that ive ever seen. are you running 3.0 kujo's on that thing. wow. no comment other than 24's suck and 3.0's have no place on a bike.

. that owner of that orange needs a bullit to the head and im not talking the bike. that just makes me want to cry for that frame.
I ran 24" wheels for about 2 years and loved them for slow techy stuff. I mostly tried it because my 2000 Big Hit could only fit a 2.3 tire and I wanted to run wider tires. I ran a Gazzo 3.0 in the front and a Gazzo 2.6 in the back, both on Sun Rhino Lites. They were terrible on sweeping corners and anything fast. Then, I went to Maxxis Highroller 24x2.7s and they were way better. I really liked the 24s on the bike for jumping and slow techy stuff. I was riding easier trails at the time and they were not that bad. I then tried Arrow 3.0x24 front and Arrow 2.75x24 rear. This was a sweet combo because the Arrow tires are real tall and measured in at about a 26" The Arrow 3.0x24 is not a 3.0 either. Its more like a 2.7.
Now that I am a way better rider and I ride really rough, rocky, rooty, stuff, the 24s would not cut it. 24s just dont roll through the rough stuff as good as a 26.
What Im trying to get at is; 24s are not really that bad depending on what terrain you are riding. They accerate fast, jump well, and give the bike a smaller feel. They make the bike easier to throw around in the air.

thats kind of the point, bubba is a great rider, and when he barrows a bike he smokes us all, when he goes back to his bike we all wait........................................................forever for him at the bottom, because he "loves his 24's"
he's like 6'4 235lb and rides a large Morewood Izumi, with really little wheels, it even looks silly, come on already.

OK OK OK, wingman I will be over tonight, did you say $450, have em ready to go.......jesus, can't you guys just leave someone alone.:mumble:
