Default 20" wheel on a 24" frame


i've seen in a couple of trials and street vid's where a rider uses a
20" wheel on a 24" frame. i don't quite understand this as it just
seems to me as it would add weight with the bigger frame. does anybdy
have a clue as to why people do this?

because its big and annoying and in the freaking way.
and it makes freestyle tricks infinitely harder.

not everyone has an extra 50-200 bucks to blow for a trials frame. Some
people save up for this crazy thing that you might not know about
called college.

ohh
lol
I know all about that
but thats what scholarships are for.
and besides, unicycling is more important anyways(lol)

but its stupid to do that, why not just get a 24" cheapo rounded crown
frame, noone has ever broken one of them (that I know of).

EDIT:and just get an average square top frame.
