Why would you want a 26?

I liked the 24 inch wheel setup allot when i had mine. I wouldnt mess with perfection.

Oh i see... but why not just sell the frame, and take your 350 and buy a frame that was meant for 26 inch wheels?

what's so impractical about 18" chainstays? ;)

:drool: short chain stays...


But i get better handling out of my Giant DH even though it has longer chain stays. If I was this kid id sell it and buy a Tomac... I love that frame. :thumb:


The only reason to keep your specialized is so you can tape over the IZ and make it a SPECIAL ED bike. :D

I was in the same position a while back, debating whether to buy the BETD stays and a spv type shock for racing. I ended up selling the frame and buying a used Turner DHR. Overall I spent a little more than I would have on the shock and stays, but the Turner is a much better frame.
