Cowman.S Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Danny Mac runs an inspired "24"inch frame, i think if you were to go "20"inch, you should definately get a deng frame like an Echo/GU/ZOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT do footjam tailwhips, you put nice big buckles in your front rim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Mods don't really suit "street" style. I think that's better left for 24" and shorter wheelbase stocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 A 24" street trials bike seems to be the way forward! Im in the same position as you mate i want to ride street trials so im getting one soon! My chosen frames so far is the inspired fourplay (which danny mac rides) or the heatsink 24uk mk2. The set up is personal preferanace mate but i would say these things for a street set up. Run street tyres, run a harder gear that a normal trials bike. Ie 22:16 or 18:12. And make sure u run about 40mm of stackers under your stem. And as for style try watching some vids of danny mac, bmx videos and also tricktionary is good to. Hope i helped a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bol Maaaaaaing Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Why?Because when your learning it, you put a lot of pressure on the front wheel, And when you dont do it right and start falling, again, HEAPS of weight on the front wheel.Believe me, it happened to me.

jambo Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) If your going for a 26" i would try get a hold of an Ashton or a pashley maybe even a lesson, or if you really want something cool you could order a marino with custom geometry i understand they are rather cheap.PS Dan used to ride a global ti frame and a pashley ghz both steel and i believe he has a short echo.

Skoze Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Come out on a ride with us dude, you can have a bash on my 24" Leeson, and i'm sure Simp and Jon wouldn't mind if you had a go on their Inspireds Not many streety stocks left round here (who come out regularly, anyway), my last Leeson was a 26" (stock) and was reeeeally streety, but Nick Pyke's turned that into a 24" street rig, Frika has a Planet X Zebdi, i'm sure he wouldnt mind if you had a little play on that, as does Leon if ever he's out.Just get out and try things, work out whats right for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
