Hey there I currently ride an on one the gimp and its awsome for me but my bike is alittle too heavy and big for me. Im currently 24' in the back, and 26' in the front and its still to big and im thinking of going duel 24's. But i need to find some new rims that are 24 and light. I mostly do dirtjumping, street and park and some drops but not that big.im about 5'2 and i wiegh like 110.

So basically im asking your help to help me find some light 24' rims

1. Dual 24" Singletracks.
2. Dual 24" RhynoLites (very light, stong, if you weigh 110, youll have em forever)

I dont know about any other rims that are as light or as strong, these rims will also not make you bankrupt.

well if your frame is 26" specific and you are already running a 24" in the back like you posted, jsut ask yourself if youve had any problems, then youve answered you question.

I think wink rides a gimp with 24" doubletracks with a sherman jumper. 24s should be fine on your bike. I also agree with getting 24" singletracks

i ride dual 24 singletracks on my street/dj rig and i like them so far, very light, but why get dual single tracks if you already have a double track, its not going to make much of a diffrence in weight by getting a new rear rim, and a frame? hmm evil doc is light and really strong

haha my friend has a 24' singletrack in the rear with the same tread as me and laced to deore same as mine and its much lighter. but you are still right if i want to lighten up my bike i mine as well get a new frame seeing as mine is 8 pounds :dizzy:
