A 24" frame on a 20" is fine as long you as don't plan on doing any stand up wheelwalking or gliding. Although it could probably still be done even with the 2" gap. -- ThisGuyIKnow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThisGuyIKnow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10203 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44046 |

You could definitely stand up ww. It just wouldn't be as easy. Your foot can't be on the frame adn the wheel while you're going anyhow. -- flyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9894 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44046 |

If you're looking to do trials then it wouldn't be recommended but of course you can do it, and it would look funny. Make sure the wheel width fits. If you have the choice for a different frame i would really opt for the 20 inch frame. You should call them first and see whats up instead of building a half assed uni. -- VersatileWhale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VersatileWhale's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10850 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44046 |

I can see it now... The new fad in uniing. similar to putting five foot rims on SUV's for that "pimpin'" look, now all the cool unicyclists will have 20" wheels on 24" frames... Actually, I'm gonna go with the 16" wheel on a 28" frame.
