I hear that the 26" bikes such as the p1. and p2. handle fine w/the smaller wheels. The only big change is that the bikes become more snappy. I guess that would be good for the shore and tight trails, but I perfer 26''. Which is what I run on my p2.

In a Boulderado state of mind
I ran dual 24's on my Azonic DS-1 for awhile. It didn't really feel a ton different from my dual 26's but a lower bb. Other than that though they rocked, for urban and the skatepark they were perfect. Not so great for trail riding but seemed to work pretty damn well for dirtjumping. Just don't get doublewides like I had, too heavy and not worth a $hit.

I think it depends on the frame too. Frames with shorter wheel bases seem to feel better with 24"s. I think 24"s are the way to go, but like stated earlier, not the best for trail riding. I don't do much trailriding. 24s feel great on the street and for park and for DJing. I have a DMR Rhythm thats 24" specific and if feels incredible.
