i currently ride a Simtra BnB (its a street/trials frame) and i love it but for the winter i wanted to mess around with 24s since i have 3 24in ryhno lite rims, 3 24in kenda k-rads, and enough 24in sized dt spokes to build up 4 or 5 wheels...so basically to get into it, i would need to spend about $30 on hubs
so my question is - the frame is technically designed around 26in wheels, would the lower bb really screw me up that much? anyone ever stick 24s on a 26 and have a bad experience? i contacted the designer of the frame and he said id be good to go...
just wondering what you all think
frame geo:
• 1040 wheelbase
• 405mm (center spot) adjustable chainstays
• 72° head angle
• 74° seat tube angle
• -20mm BB drop
and heres an old pic of the bike just for reference (now single speed with pivotal setup)
