just put a down payment on a Giant STP 24 at my rather awesome LBS.

Did he gave you an ETA?
early February, which was actually one of the deciding factors.
cool! My friend wanted a Trance, sold out until mid-July he's been told.
There are 2 models of the stp 24, the one I would have preferred won't be there till May, and who knows if or how much that might change
Just throwing this out there for the breeders....
If you need any 26" tires or wheels hit me up. Ive got tons and both hate throwing functional things away, and equally hat dealing with people
yall are okay though

dammit. just got a new dhr rear for the kiddo's overforked and mulleted tracer...
I need rubber.
Dude, drop the fork travel. I did it for Haley's 24" and it made a difference. Still had a real fork, but better-ish angles. Keep it mulleted, but steepen the front. Ends up with good balance, but lower.
I have lotsI need rubber.

BTR put up a post on FB asking if people would be willing to pay 500 Pounds for a kid's frame, they were looking at doing a batch.

I actually might need a rear wheel...
what hub size?
while i can't speak for treesaw, i'm loosely looking for something with a 135x10 bolt on rear hub, 6 bolt disc. ideally would have a matching 20mm non boost front wheel. trying to get my old slalom bike up and running.
Let me dig around
May have some combo of useable rim and hub if not a wheel
I DO have an old 36 spoke front 20mm dh wheel that's heavy that you can have
i have rims and spokes if you just have hubs. 32h only though. that honestly might be easier when it comes to shipping.
I added to my post but I do have a heavy complete wheel from a dh bike you can have for shipping.
no offense, but i'd probably harvest the front hub from an old azonic outlaw wheel i have somewhere. now that i think about it, that's not a half bad idea.
It's about the equivalent
I've got some WTB i23 rims if you need any hoops
But yeah if you can recycle some bits go for it. Just let me know if you change your mind. It IS a complete wheel you don't have to build.
I'll look for anything else too.
i'll keep that in mind, thanks. hardest thing to find is definitely proving to be the rear hub. frame has horizontal dropouts. you wouldn't happen to have any 26" holy rollers?
not holy rollers but some other dj equivalents
I'll dig around tomorrow and let you know on hubs
Second comment on this... Is he actually getting full use of the travel? Like I mentioned earlier, a rebuild to drop travel, then use lighter weight oil to adjust down to is weight, should make it ripper for him.
And which fork? If an older Fox Float 32, I have some travel spacers I can send you.
lol. it's a 2013 tracer. so it's compact compared to today's bikes. wish the standover/seat mast was a bit lower. same with bottom bracket. it has a 170 36 that i could/should probably drop to 160 next time i do a service. neither the fork nor the air shock has a band so not sure of travel use, but i set pressures as close as i could estimate based on extrapolated numbers. kid only weighs 85# so it's tough. but he rides it on everything from backcountry gnurz to lift served greens and blues to local crap.
Dude. Zip ties.
Drop the fork down for better stand over. Try 5wt oil vs. Fox 7wt. It should make a huge difference at that weight. And if the angles are all funky with the mullet/now lowered fork, get an angle adjust shock bushing. They're like $50 and you can get your angles under control while dialing in everything else.
It's for his 575....I'll double check the size later, but I think it's 135mm
Had a chance to look?

Yeah I've been quite stoked with the PNW Fern post's which are sprung specifically for kids, a great upgrade for 20 &24" wheel bikes.
Ended up getting my little guy a Jamis Komodo 24 for his 6th birthday gift. I found a great deal on a Cannondale Cujo, but shipping was looking unreal for delivery ahead of his birthday. The local LBS chain had the Komodo's at under MSRP at $500, which was at the high end of the wife's budget ask. We picked it up yesterday. Bike looks well thought out and definitely qualifies as a 'real' kids mountain bike and will be something that we can upgrade around if he continues to be interested in riding.
