rear only i supposed. if i couldn't find the best option, i think i need to sell it.

nice observation mate. what should be great for this size?

I don't see why it would have a smaller wheel at the back ?

this page is truly interesting! awesome!

More to the point, why a small back wheel with normal length stays? Defeats the usual object of getting your team mates as close behind as possible in a team pursuit.

^ perhaps if you had stays to suit a 24" wheel you'd have to have a very long seatpost which would be too flexy. I dunno.

hopefully nicely done on the end of this year.. 24" back =(

That's mental, want!

The gaps are gonna be ridiculous. You could get 5 sets of mudguards in there

And backpacks all fitted like Scott's, that's HHSB over 9000. square. miles.

Nice place to put your frame pump.

Just sayin.

Hahaha awesome

It's only the chain stays which could be substantially shorter

what would you say the actual riding differences be between 700c ride and this one^

If your contact points triangle is unchanged and the steering geometry is properly sorted, small wheels make very little difference to the feel of a road/track bike. Tony Doyle reported that he could throw his pursuit bike around just like a 6-day bike

Ah yes, my stupidity strikes again. Crazy looking bike, that.

^^ but the smaller wheels are of course more agile / accelerate faster - because they're lighter? btw, any idea where would one get some clinchers / inner tubes for those 24" 520mm suckers these days? =))

There is a 23-520 Schwalbe Durano, use with Schwalbe inner tube 9C

Velocity Fusion or Aerohead rims come in the 520 size.

Haha. Pfiko read my mind, and I was trying to be subtle.

cheers MT =))

I've got a pair of 36 hole rims, but I doubt you'll be using that spoke count.

why is that?

Now in lycra
