craiggy1984 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Mod is the term used to describe a 20" wheeled trials bike,a stock is a 26" wheeled bike,i'd advise you to start on one a mod though my friend,easier to throw about,get an onza t-pro 2005 onwards dude,i had one and i never had one bad thing to say about it,they are excellent for the money you can pick them up for either new or used,and personaly i would also say yes,get a trials specific bike,will help you no end because of the geomotries used nowadays,makes things easier once you learn to hop on the back wheel Then if you feel like your ready to play with the big boys get a stock,you may find that you advance so much on a mod though that you jus keep excelling yourself and end up like Craig Lee Scott or Danny Swindlehurst,these lads were so inspirational to mw when i started riding trials again a few months ago......so yeh,go mod first,then you can always try a stock later,hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
