A 24-inch bike can refer to a wheel<\/em><\/strong> bike or a frame<\/em><\/strong> bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both are different in that wheel size is used to measure kids\u2019 bikes whereas frame size is used to measure adults\u2019 bikes along with wheel size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So knowing this difference is important to figure out how big a 24-inch bike is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you are talking about a 24-inch wheel<\/strong> bike it refers to a bike that is generally suited for kids between 8 to 9 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And a 24-inch frame bike is for adults who are really tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But just knowing the size of the wheels is not enough for someone to figure out how big a bicycle is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below we get into details on some of the other aspects that you need to consider with regard to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 24-inch wheel bike refers to the diameter of the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, a 24-inch bike in this case measures 24 inches across at the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, it’s a recommended bike size for 8-year-olds<\/a> and 9-year-olds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But you cannot get a clear picture of how big the bike is and whether it suits your needs just by knowing the size of the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this purpose, you need to know the reach and stack<\/em> and the standover height<\/em> of the bike too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reach & Stack<\/strong>: This is roughly the space the rider has between the saddle, the bottom bracket (the area where the cranks are attached), and the handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There has to be optimal space for the rider when the rider is seated on the bike to feel comfortable and at ease with the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Too much space and the rider will have to sit way back on the saddle and overextend with less control of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Too little space and the rider will feel cramped and this would have an impact on the effort required to pedal and move the bike efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standover Height<\/strong>: This is the vertical height of the bike from the floor to a point on the top tube (the tube that connects the front of the bike to the seat post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This measurement tells how much room the rider has when standing over the bike when the bike is stationary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This height has to be optimum for the rider to feel confident with the bike, and especially if the rider is a newbie to biking.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Big Is A 24 Inch Wheel Bike:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
