riddler Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 what do people prefer? a bike with 26" or 20"just a question really i am a fairly tall person and can only see myself riding 26". but do some of the taller people prefer 20" bikes?maybe its just personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotgranthundley...honest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Some tall riders ride mod, some small riders ride stock.Just preference. When people say they too big for stock their talking utter shite.Most mods I've ridden feel longer than my stock, this is because they have stems which are about 60mm longer than mine...I prefer stock. Mod is cheating in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imnotgranthundley...honest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nah not stupid at all if you're new to the sport.Mods have little wheels. 20" rim on the front and 19" on the back.Stocks have big wheels. 26" front and back.

imnotgranthundley...honest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Come out on a Brum ride (or come to Worcester this weekend ) and you'll be able to make your own decision rather than going on what others say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thats just down to you not being used to the bike..exactly....which ever you actually ride you're going to feel more comfortable on.....most stock riders riding mod find them too small and light, and most mod riders riding stock find them big and clumsy..
