HarriLye Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi mate..20" are more twitchy if you understand and you can find cheap brand new bikes.24" are expensive to past them26" - Well to be honest i dont no much about them.Your best bet if you havnt got a big budget is just have a look on ebay or around your area.i normallly get my stuff from www.tartybikes.co.uk or www.trialparts.nethttp://www.trashzen.com/ is a great website to learn basics on and advanced moves and techniques so have a look at this website and it also shows how to set up your bike and many moreMany thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjjim Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice one, cheers for that.I was thinking along the lines of a 20" anyway, as i am a small guy anyway, and although being used to 26" wheels, i feel comfortable enough on a bmxJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slink Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I posted this in the other topic which is similar to this one, but incase you missed it, here's the link to the page on wiki about wheel sizehttp://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Choosing_a_bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 20" Best for starters, better for smaller/younger people24" Street, If you wanna have a mix of bmx and trials26" Ideal for taller people and also are a bit harder to ride.

isitafox Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'd advise trying to have a go on each before you decide, could make all the difference of not wasting your money, maybe there's some people on here local to you who you could catch at a meet and just have a sit on their bikes?
