Perfect DH, and hucking bike, asides the duel 24's for DH.

perfect for hucking i'll agree, put personally i like lightweight, you can build up a sub 40 pound bike with no bits that will fail, that's the goods for dh racing, but maybe not for drops

is that yours?

I havent ridden with 24's before... I know quite alot of people dont think much of them... they are smaller... but not that much smaller... i guess its a trade off... more rolling resistance for greater travel
