SunshineDiver Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hello everyone,I am looking to start trials riding but really have no idea about what i should be getting for my first bike. Could someone please help me with a few of these questions?First of all what is the difference between 20inch trials and 26inch? I asked a few folk at fort bill today and never got a same answer twice . Any bike recommendations? Some guy recommended me a bike called the atomz premier which is just above my budget but is it worth stretching to it?Why do trials bikes run a freewheel at the front instead of the rear?If any of my questions are to vague to answer please ask me to rewrite it.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hey there, I really recommend an onza. They are very underated, especially in kazakhstan.I wouldn't start on the atomz, start on something cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Yoshi Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would recomend an onza good first bike Nice and cheep and when you get better you can up grade.Have you ever had a bike before? Did you have a go on some bikes at fort bill?The reason for the front free wheel is realy so the weight is more centered plus it wont get as much as a wacking as on the back wheel.Have a look on Tartybikes.

SunshineDiver Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) I have a pro and i love it! hahaWell have you done any other bike sport before?Haha yeah but both on a 20" and 26". I have been riding bmx for the last few year but before that i rode downhill but never really got into it. I can do some basics like track stand, pedal hop, endo and hop on the back end on my full susser and on a bmx can bunny hop about 2 foot or thereabouts. does riding skill become a factor in what size to go for?
