TrialItAll Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Heya guys,I'm not sure weather to go for a Stock or a Mod. I have ridden a friends Onza Rip and Zoo Python, and a friends Echo something .. not sure what it was, only was on it for about 5 minns, i liked the feel of them both, but am not sure which one to invest a maximum of £400 into.. Please could you tell me perhaps what's different from a Mod to a Stock, obviously the wheel size, and weight, but anything else you know about it would be helpful as i am a bit of an newbie ! Much appreciated,Harry. (:*EDIT - On my page it says "Bike ridden - Stock". I did have a 26" Street/Park bike, but not for long, just in-case anyone wondered why this was.*EDIT 2 - I am almost 6FT.

smith.93 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 it all depends on what you want to do, if your into lenght go for stock bit if you got a flicky style i would go for mod .it dont really matter how tall you are becuse my friend is 6'4 and has both mod and stock and alternates between the two .

RazGman Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 best advice would be to do your reasearch BEFORE you buy! lol when i started i went streight for the first trials i could get cheap which was a mod .. and what a mistake that was i had it for about 2 month and my progress came to a hault after a day or so of riding because i could not get the hang of it at all, had a go on my mates 26" and INSTANTLY felt more comfertable, probably because i ride a 26" jump bike regulary, so a few week later i saved up and bought a onza hitman for cheap and my progress is now back on track and every time i ride now i learn something new... so try before you buy is a must...

davey1991 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 How tall are you?This has very little to no relevance....I know people close to 5ft that ride stock.CLS rides a mod and he's 6ft 4.I'm 6ft 3 and ride a mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialserboi Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well I know everyone says it but i would start out on a 20" bike first (maybe Onza or Monty) and then if you think that you want to move up a size or two. If you want you can stay on a 20", but it is mostly down to personal preferance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
