Hi there,
Been looking around the internet and the only info i can find on the topic is from this forum :lol:
http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopi ... sc&start=0

Now having read through that thread i'm still quite confused...

Basically i have an identiti dr jekyll, and i need to buy some new wheels. At the moment i have 26" wheels. I'm wondering do i go for 26" ers or 24" ers? I ride mainly dirt jumps with some free-ride (drops and such). Being totally honest i'm intrested in 24's for two reasons one being looks - big wheels dwarf my frame, and two being the aspect of 'chuckability' hopefully improving my dirt jumping. However after reading that thread i don't like the sound of 'steepening the head angle' which means manuals are gonna be harder to pull :cry:

So what i'm asking for is your opinion on which to go for, i have no option to try some 24's - just to let you know.
