I hate to do it, but I just find myself having too much fun on the 20" (s&m laf). I've had so much fun on this bike and honestly, its soooo dialed, I hate to let it go, but I would like someone else to give it the use it deserves (its pretty much been sitting for about 12 months besides the ocassion tool around the hood)....and hell, I could use the money! I'm posting final pictures...by the way, its for sale here:

spaaaaaam.
Thanks for the free bump son ;) Honestly, I thought this thread would spike some discussion of those leaving 26" for 20" or visca versa, and maybe get some feedback on my build. I've never posted a bike check before and I figured why not do it before its gone. And if i'm going to post it up, I might as well put the link where its for sale.

Dialed set up, just don't like the pedals.

For me big bikes have their place so I keep mine around. I gotta admit that my 20 gets way more play tho.

Check the pawls on your Hadley. I have 2 of the 108pt's, and they go through pawls faster than the other freehubs they make.
I know hadley had a quality control issue with a large batch of 108 pts, but this one came before that batch from what my research found. I've been running this one for a while now with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I love it!

Yeah, I'd like to have a short travel fully around, but I basically use these two bikes for identical purposes....dirt and park....therefore I just dont have a need.
