[fuerstpueckler]

Hey!

i'am a 2 meter long trialer from germany! what is better for me ? mod or stock?

grettings an thanks Manuel!!!

You should try basketball mate

Urm, stock. You'd look a bit stupid on a mod at 6.5 feet tall. Are you a beginner???

[fuerstpueckler]

yes, i am a beginner!

my brother has a long zoo phyton! i can ride it, but its not much room for my knees.

but the begin on a 20" is easyer, or is it not so?

I suggest getting a stock. Most people find mod better to begin on as they are easier to throw around but if you 6.5" i can't see you have any problems with throwing around a stock

[fuerstpueckler]

thanks for your help!!!

[Adam Fisher]

Well for most begginers , they find mod is easier.To learn basics like being on the back wheel and so on. Then they get a stock.People find in quick to learn then go for more technical things on the bigger bike.

[Muel]

Definately get a stock, I struggle to ride Mod sometimes and I'm only 5'11".

[TJ.]

go stock but if you have the chance have a go on another riders stock and a mod to see which you prefer before you fork of for your own bike.

Pretty much spot on.

[Zach]

I would say a stock.

Try that Zoo Python with a bigger stem if your allowed. I ride a Monty PR but don't really feel too cramped with a Viz High Rise stem on it. But with just a normal Monty stem i do.

Urm, stock. You'd look a bit stupid on a mod at 6.5 feet tall.

Well I'm 6'6 and I find iteasier on a mod,

And its not what you look like on the bike its all about how you feel on the bike!!

My Brothes ride the Viz High Rise stem, now. It's much more better as with the Echo 150mm stem! He is looking now for an Trial Tech 180mm 40° stem, for more freedom!

Same mate I would recomemend getting a Stock.

Well I'm 6'6 and I find iteasier on a mod,

Of course you find it easier. At that size even if you have a slightly skinny build you should be able to throw it around like a paper plane. But at that height the mod bikes do hinder your riding due to your position when riding them.

[JackDolan]

hmmm stock i would advise a mod but not wen your 6.5 foot tall.

[Sidehop Stuart]

The Gu stock look alright for tall riders.

[Oli P]

Im over 6'6 and i started on a stock and had no problems learning on it. I would recomend getting some knee pads as iv smashed my knee on the stem a couple of times.

[Revolver]

You're WELL LONG!

Get a stock.

If you want a nice flicky bike like a mod would be for a smaller person, get a 24".

[Cresswell_d]

Of course you find it easier. At that size even if you have a slightly skinny build you should be able to throw it around like a paper plane. But at that height the mod bikes do hinder your riding due to your position when riding them.

I use to ride stock bike and the problem for me was that the bike was too big and i was about 6'3'' back then. So I went back to mod and I was even better.

A couple of weeks i had a go on a stock and it stills feel horrible.

But at the end of the day Fuerstpueckler should ask his mates or go along to a jam and ask people if he have a go on there bikes!!!!.

P.S Happy Christmas!

if you want to start on a mod bike you should buy a magellan tucana 20' frame!i think it's the longest mod frame!1067 mm wheelbase

but the best choose for u it's to start on stock
