My kid turns 11 in two weeks and he really wants a at bike as he loves my rose Tusker so much..lol
What do I do....buy him a 26" wheel fatbike or a 24" ??
I would say he is average height.....but I'm thinking the 26" is a bit too big
What have you guy got your kids??
Thanks

I'm 6'2 and love thrashing my little 5" travel hardtail on 24s with 3" front and 2.6" rear tyres. A miniature fatbike, sort of.

I reckon a 26" bike would be a bit much for him, especially if it had the modern "long" geometry.

Didn't someone convert 26" SC Nomad to something like 24+, that looked like a proper little mini fat ripper.

found it, half way down this thread page... maybe you could do something like that on a more traditional frame though you might be struggling time wise.
