Need some help from folks using 24" wheels.

using 24" in front and 26" in back feels kind of imbalanced.

Any suggestions?

You should have rode a Schwinn Stingray. 20'' rear and
16'' front .

Fire up MTB 03

Yeah, put a 26" on front?

You knew someone was going to say it...

Actually, this looks like another of Pete's camera tricks... that front
wheel is 26" I bet.

hahah, joke's on me.

Think so too. I've always wondered how bike mags get the bike to appear
standing but never really bothered to find out or ask. Just assumed Magneto
has a day job too.

Only ride uphill.

If you have to ride downhill, do it backwards.

I see why you ditched the Id.
What's it weigh?
Do any climbing on it, or is it just for shuttle runs?

Send that abomination to me. I'll set you up with a pre-distressed
Diamondback X2; complete with matching wheels (depending on how it's
photographed!

Yes, it climbs pretty well considering the fact that it's a pig. The
Curnutt shock eliminates a surprising amount of seated pedal bob.

Do you ever smack your knees on the dual crown while your climbing standing?

No, but one time the compression damper took a core sample of my knee
when I spun the rear out of the saddle.
