Mod Bikes Vs Stock Bikes

[jonnyullapool]

are mod bikes better than stock?

[Mr Bob]

There not better, Its just personal choice, if you prefer mods then get one!

[adlir]

I like mod bikes but have never tried a stock before. I'd say if you are tall a stock would be better .

I find mods are alot easier to chuck around and learn on, riding a stock will make you a better rider though .

[chris_trials]

i'm riding a stock at the moment. i've tried riding a mod and they seem too unstable when you're hopping and they feel too much like a bmx.

Its completly down to prefrence, moast people try both mod and stock to see which they like better before buying a trials bike. people say if your tall you should probably get a stock. Because if your tall you have long enough legs to get there weight over the front and back wheels sleightly better, making things like wheel swaps sleightly easyer. But people moastly dont care, all they care about is riding for fun and which bike suits them better not if they have chosen the "wrong" bike.

I started on a stock, and as a result really cannot get along with mods all Personal preference really, and depends to some extent on your size. As a beginner ( 12-15 ) id recommend getting a mod, any older and i'd say stock.

Any mountain bike background, and i'd also say stock.

Yer your height really doesnt matter at all ! My friend is 6ft 2" and he rides a mod fine so yer just try out both and it's down to personal preference

I'ts just a personal choice.

It's does't important if you are tall or short.

I'm not tall and I prefer 26'.

Maybe it's the technic the important thing, because is different in 20 or in 26, and not if you are tall or short.

It's personal preference.

It depends on your height somewhat, but there's always exceptions.

...Wait, hasn't everyone else said the same thing?

There is only a small difference between mod and stock really .

Well i think .

Mods are generally more flicky and easier to chuck around and if you have the right set up on a stock and you are tall you can probally treat a stock as flicky and chuckable .

Its mostly down to personal preference when it comes down to wheel size but 26" wheels generally are better at rolling over rough terrain such as rocks and 20" are more bouncy to even out the differences .

It doesnt change how big you go as it is in the riders technique/power/balance and all round feel for the bike .

I think mod bikes are easier to progress on as they are smaller and chuckable as i have said above .

Its what you think ,
