Adam-Griffin Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well if you like it more keep it.Surely it would make no sense to get a "19 wheel if you're frame takes a "20 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Most trials riders run a 19" rear wheel to accommodate a fatter rear tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon132 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Get a 19"!!! theres more room for a bigger tyre equaling better balance and things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Get a 19"!!! theres more room for a bigger tyre equaling better balance and thingsYes but do you not understand that if the brake mounts are set up for a "20 wheel and he buys a "19 his brake won't work.

harmertrials Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Adam's right. If the frame is designed for a 20" rear wheel you're going to be left with no rear brake dude.My advice, stick with a 20" until you progress and upgrade bike in the future.

Kieran24 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yes but do you not understand that if the brake mounts are set up for a "20 wheel and he buys a "19 his brake won't work.I'd say almost any brake has atleast half an inch of adjustability, and not to forget that the wheel can be slid back and forth in the dropouts and the shortened/lengthened.
