Is it worthwhile to ride 24" wheels on a 26" DJ bike?

Recently picked up a P.1 with 24" wheels for CHEAP (I have a 26" DJ bike already).

The bike is fun to ride and having more than one wheel size to choose from when I go the the BMX park is fun but there are drawbacks. It is silly easy to drag a pedal, bb feels super low, and something about the geo feels weird.

How do you guys feel about MTB's with 24" wheels?

Basically any 24" wheeled bike EXCEPT a p.1 (or any p series) is good. They have a low BB and weird geometry regardless of wheel size. Putting 24" wheels on a p.1 makes a bad geometry bike feel worse. Depending on the model year, the later versions of the p have improved slightly.

24" wheels on a bike specifically designed for it - or at least able to accept them - is so much better. I find myself running my Molly (24" specific MTB) more than my Mob lately.

THX. Confirms my initial impression.

ive used 24 and 26 on my hardtail and i cant really tell that much of a difference just a little lower with the 24. for a while i ran a 24 rear and a 26 frotn which was actually quite nice(fork set a 70mm)

A local guy i ride with occasionally has a 24" rear and 26" front. He seems to like it
