[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 570769, member: 6408"] More nostalgia. The older 26s started with #3. Even had some rib side 26s. Until length laws were standerdized, we pulled 24' here quite often too. Most were already junk when I came here but still pulled sets or combo 26 and 24, sometimes with a 100% 24 on the back and maybe a 25% 24' or 26' on the front due to many 24s didn't have pintle hook on the back. Also, we had to carry a spare crank handle. These were all drop frames with crank legs. Trouble is, handles kept walking away or they were simply taken off because many had to be backed into slim centers doors or inside and they stuck out too far. 26s were used everywhere later because there was no such thing as 28' until law was changed from 96" to 102".
