Mclovin Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Do you like your longer wheel base? Other than that nice ride man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaïr Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Do you like your longer wheel base? Other than that nice ride man. Thanks ! I also like it.But have most of the Trial Bikes a smaller wheel base then? I didn't knew that it was a pretty long one. Could it be it has became larger because it's a second-hand bike and not a new one? Because of all the hops/jumping/falling/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already love the bike although I even don't have it yet, lol. Just hope I don't break anything fast because I'm just a student and the prices for new Trial Bikes and new parts are so high ...

I don't mind what wheel base I have I think. Just about to start on Trial Bike so I don't know yet what I like. Just like the discussion on 20" and 26", it's all a mather of what you personally like! Need to find that out yet what suits me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
