24" Tgs Bike?

Recommended Posts

Sounds to me like this whole 24" thing is to good to be true. Im 5'9, i was wondering if i would be able to handle this? Ive always rode mod, but ive ridden quite a few different stocks, and i just feel like im a midget and i cant do anything when im on them. Will the 24 be easier for me to handle, while having the same plus sides as a stock?

Basically, yes. If you like the idea of a stock but feel like it's a little too big for you, a 24" is win.

I reckon I'm going to wait for more choice of frames, lol. I really don't hate my zoot enough to warrant spending £280 to get this frame and not even necessarily like it. I still want one though :P

Rockman... Sensible BB heights... Nope, doesn't compute. But then again, I'm a mod purist :P

Indianatrials - the whole bike is smaller than a stock, so if stocks feel too big it stands to reason that these shouldn't.

Sure, i was just wondering how much smaller, i guess a dumb question, i just need to ride one, but i know of none within a 6-7 hour drive.

SICK! Please let it have a sensible BB height.

Na, any where inbetween +55 and +75 sounds good to me.

You've got to remember an Inspired is +35, and that doesn't feel 'trialsy' (I know the long stays also contribute to this..)

So it only makes sense to go higher, seeing as this is suposed to be a 'real' trials bike.

The BB on the rockman is actualy going to be abit lower than the because! I was talking to the guys the other day about it, geo is looking something like 1060, +65, 72, 370mm chainstays, I may have to try and get one myself when i get back to the UK, love the idea of a trialsy 24!

The geo difference, which is huge -

Trials

Wheelbase: 1040mm

Chainstay Length: 367mm (with 18:15 gear ratio)

BB Rise: +70mm

Head angle: 73.5°

Centre of BB to centre top of head tube: 650mm

Street

Wheelbase: 1035mm

Chainstay Length: 380mm

BB Rise: +30mm

Head angle: 73°

Centre of BB to centre top of head tube: 650mm

Apparently the reach is the same, though.

How many parts could I swap over from my stock to the 24"?

All but the rims tyres, tubes and spokes..

EDIT: Allthough you may want a longer stem than whats on your stock - like a 150 x 30 mod stem.

Got a 120x25 on that and it's pretty much perfect (Y) A lot of the 24s we do have a normal-ish stock stem too, unless it's the really dinky little PZ31 stem. They tend to run higher rise bars like either Trialtech Sports, Inspireds or Trialtech High Rise bars.

So yeah, you can basically bosh everything over apart from rims and tyres (could bodge the tubes in). You may need to get a new rear sprocket too though to adjust the ratio accordingly.
