  4. 24" for MUni/trail riding
    20" for trials, street

    Depends which type of riding you really want to get into. You can
    sometimes use a 20" for MUni if you aren't very tall, but 24" for
    trials and street is harder, despite Justin Koeshe's ability.

  10. no, thats a good thing, in case you want to put a wider tire on

    DXs have a splined hub, an alex dx32 rim and now the 24" can handle (i
    believe) a 3.0 inch wide tire

    yeah thats ok.
    i dont think that they do hold up i'll get a pic of them
    there
    and if you are going to get the dx. try get the 07 model cos there have
    been many cases where 06 model frames have broken
    but even the 06 model is really strong.

    yeah see it doesnt he much extra clearance

  18. The first picture is the 07 trials dx with approximately 3 inches of
    clearance above the tire. the second one is the 07 muni (24''😉 with
    under an inch.
