Scott Gibbs Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I was just thinking this afternoon does any one in the new members ride 24" trials bikes? Im very curious about them. I mean what do they ride like, are they any good? are they worth it? Or are they just a 5 min fad? let me know what u think guys. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayMe Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well, I am not yet riding one, but I'm going to get one. I think for me as a mountainbiker who wants to do some trial riding and also some street stuff 24" is a good way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a flicky little toy, it's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a flicky little toy, it's great! I must admit the inspired looks gorgeous! Especially in blue or brown. The only thing i dont like is its 4 bolt brake mount only and i prefer rear disc set up. Im thinkin carefully about my next purchase i have been lookin at the zoo pitbull but i wont be a serious trials rider so maybe 24" is the way to go. The geo of the 24uk sounds good, real short, flicky and bmxish and it has a rear disc mount:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
