Imperial is on its way. For you Imperial owners out there, what is the best rear wheel size, 24 or 26 inch? I will be running a 26 in front wheel with a 7 inch Sherman Slider Plus as the fork..
Thanks

im riding 24 24 and i like it , i think a 26 24 with a 7" fork would be a little much rake to it dont you

I've tried many o' set ups with 26/24s - hardtails and fullies. The only time I liked the 24/26 set up was on a hardtail with steeper geometry - not the Imperial. Especially with 7" up front. It would be way raked. With that fork, I'd go 26/26. I have my Imperial set up as a 24/24 SS street ride, and I wouldn't want any more that 5" up front with that set-up. Cool thing about the Evil is that you can build up for a variety of uses and it will be badass, just make sure your build suits your riding style - and with that frame, I don't see a 24/26 set up being suitable for any style.

i already feel my imp is too raked out with a 175mm fork and 26/26" wheels. it's perfect imo with a 130mm fork and dual 26s
