There are several different '24"' rim and tyre sizes - almost as many as
there are '26"' sizes.
Best thing is to borrow a set of the longest brakes your local (real) bike
shop has, and try whatever 24" size you are considering. That'll give you
an idea of
a) if it will; and
b) what length of brake will be required to make it
work.
