DMR 898

Hi,
I am a 14 year old boy and I am planning on buying a dmr 898 frame. However, I am not sure wether to buy a frame that takes 24inch wheels oe 26 inch wheels, I am 5ft 2 and I need advice. Please Help!

26" is easier to get parts for, but 24" allows a more compact, manoeverable bike.

I'd try and look at some built up jump bikes if not sure.

If you get the 26er, you will still be able to fit 24" wheels.

As SS said, try a couple first.

`Hi thank you very much for the replys, if i am opting to get a 24" wheel which fork will fit it? in particular a, Fox 32 F100 RL QR15- 1.5 Taper.

As it uses discs, any fork will fit, however, that fork has a tapered steerer, which won't fit into the frame.


At 14, I would look at Rockshox, due to them being cheaper overall, and only need a service once a year, not every 20 hours or something ridiculous. Just my 2p.


Not sure on your budget, but these will be the best DJ style fork you can get.
