What is availability of new tyres like? 650c is a bit tricky these days, 24" (I am assuming they are ISO 520) are very tricky to find.

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
