sinner Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 hey, im looking for a first time trials bike, i am a street BMX rider with some neat move's up my sleave i am wondering weather to get a Diamonback Tkeiya 2008 (http://www.ashcycles.com/power/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1341) which is 26" or a Onza Rip 20" bike (http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10620&category_id=10). i am 15 average height and am wondering if the 20" is to small for me to do street on? but the 26" is maby to big? i really have no idea and am looking for advice.Thanks!

Riding 26" trials and riding a BMX is a great combo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinner Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks, but i really dislike the "stems" on mods, they stick out too far and i feel riding 20" wheels would look a lil silly i think well thanks for the advice. Oh and also do you know of any bike shops that display trials? (in the kent area)Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 As you say you have some 'neat' bmx tricks up your sleave,then start with a mod mate. Get the Rip, it's a decent starter bike andi'm sure after a month or so you'll feel pretty comfortable on it.But the main reason I say get the Rip, is because the Tekiya ..well it's made by Diamondback my friend. They probably weigh twice as much as your bmx,and the length of them is extremely long! You would have to be at least 6' 5" to ride it comfortably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 get the stock (26"), im 15 and i used to ride street bmx with neat tricks up my sleeve , they ride nice and you'll grow into it. But in the end it's what you feel will be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to be at least 6' 5" to ride it comfortably this is the soul reason i made this thread , to find out the best option and i already had a feeling the Diamondback would be the second choice because Diamondback don't have a good reputation for BMX aswell Thanks for your input!
