i think his over all diameter will be the same, but since the weight s all on the far outside of the wheel it will be harder to spin.....and turn if you think about it.
ok, go out side and take off the 24in. wheel on your bike, spin it, try to turn it with your bare hand, its hard no?
now, find a 20in wheel or a 16in wheel. this should be much easier to spin and turn. the wheight is closer to the center.
not the best compairo because the wheels diameter is bigger but you get the idea.
for the best performance and handling AND comfort, get 15in or 16 inch, tops.
