ok so i have a ns traffic 26" but i feel like its a little big for me.(im 5'8, 135lbs.) and i wanna switch to a rigid fork. But i was doing research and if i get a rigid fork for my 26" i wanna get new bars, stem, tires, and other ****.haha should i just buy a 24" complete and be done with it...??? of course after seeliin my current rig..
26" rigid or 24"
- Thread starter tonka
- Start date
have you already tried a 20" ? if all you ride is street and park, you want rigid and economical, and you feel like you are too small for a NS Traffic... just sayin'.....
e.g. HOFFMAN, FIT, SUBROSA, DK, KINK, WE THE PEOPLE, etc.
here's a Kink:
there's also GT UF 24"
and
DMR Drone 24"
We the People Avenue 24"
Im 5'8" and 26 felt too big to me. 20 felt too small. Riding 24 now and it's perfect.
yaa ive ridden twentyss for about a year. and once i got on my twenty six i felt more comfortable and progressed alot faster. its just a little much to haul around for me riding street. and i thought g.t wasnt making the ruckus u.f for 2010?? i cant find an 0-9' either
ugh. that gt and the dmr have the most awful builds ever. disc on the front and under-the-seatstay v's on the back. really? could they get the head angle any slacker? The wtp looks all right aside from the 2 foot high bottom bracket.
what it is lately with shoddy 24/26 wannabe bmx completes?

okk i gotta an odd question since were on this topic.just gonna throw it ou there... i wrok at a shop so i could get a pretty good deal on a giant method 24", so if i got tht and was to convert the br/stem setup and get a twenty six inch rigid fork would tht be a pretty cool setupp deal goin on??
ive never seen it done before

The longer fork will make it into a chopper.
26" mtb rigid or 26" BMX rigid ?
A "suspension-corrected" fork means it is longer to mimic the length of a suspension fork. A "suspension-corrected" frame likewise is designed to have a taller fork.
A BMX frame is not designed to have a tall fork. If you put a tall fork on it, you are not only raising the front end, you're raising the whole bike at a slant. The bottom bracket will be higher. An suspension corrected frame keeps the bottom bracket where it's supposed to be.
Make sense ?
Why don't you just ride the Giant Method as is ???? It's a good bike. You don't need a weird mtb front end for it to be a "park bike."
