Re:opinions of 24in wheels
No opinions offerred yet huh, ...well I volunteer to offer one.
If you are suggesting a 24 inch wheel will be tougher in the rocks, I think that may be so - and I have NO experience riding a 24" wheel in the rocks - just riding one on BMX cruizer years ago...
BUT, Since you also mentioned it would be part of a Specialized BigHit - now I can give you a definitive YES - since that bike is a big, heavy, hucking machine...
...which looks to be overkill when compared to the "typical" trailbike/FR setup your after - no?
Re:opinions of 24in wheels
i plan on using the bike for occasional trail riding like at lynn or nam and some fr and dh races this year
