Has anyone put larger wheels/tires.....

....on a 20" BMX bike? I have a (insert Chinese bigbox name here), that I picked up free and want to do "something" with it.

What are the drawbacks, problems, quirks?

What's good/cool/neato about doing this?

Show me what you've done!!!

Anything is possible with a welder. I did this one many years ago and I loved it. Didn't change wheel size at all. Just welder a 26" rear on a 20" frame and stuck a 26" suspension fork on it.

Or if you don't have a welder you can do a bolt on conversion like this.

Thanks, OSC! Cool bikes!

The frame I have will clear 24's with 2.125's,or (what I'm thinking) is narrow 26's with 1.5's or smaller.

Anyone else with examples?

26 1 3/8 road bike wheels, Change front fork and weld on seat stay and chain stay extensions.

Well isn't that nice. Photo bucket chopped me off for the month. So had to pay and go pro.
