And unless you switch to a SS f/w and redish the rear wheel, your bike won't get any stronger.
It's a lot of work only to be able to remove chainrings and derailers.
You might as well ride it as is and see if it survives.
In BMX racing, cruisers are 24" bikes. Proto-BMXers would often race on 20" Schwinn Stingrays or the like, so it would make sense that older kids would race on cruisers.
It's often called Cruiser Class.
Non-race 24s are also often called cruisers, and BMX 26ers are also often called cruisers.
