Testers use 650c so ok. Trouble with 24" is getting narrow tubes.

Youth riders are restricted to a maximum gear for racing. In any case, bad for growing legs to use big gears.

It's not rigorously enforced, by any means.. I've seen *obvious* cheating going on in this respect and the race officials did *nothing*

in national and big regional racesit is, as they have gear check before races etc...
also i believe anther reason for restricitions is to learn kids to spin... a key factor in winning races
