dougie pumkin Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 hi im thinking of getting a stock bike i would like a 24 inch but ive heard you can`t ride comps with those is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think UCI has changed the rules so 24" can ride in the 26" category. I'd need someone to back me up on this though, not quite 100%.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 well i think you are aloud in compotitions with 24" because danny macaskill rides one and he said that he doesnt want to do comps. which means he can ride his inspired in them. not too sure though. well the difference betwwen 26" and 24" is that 24" is mainly made for riders who would also like to combine trials and bmx together. go onto tarty bikes then go onto media-video guides- and there should be one on all different size of bikes. hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Danny Mac uses an Echo Pure 07 26inch aswell so he may ride comps on that just so you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Seeing as his real name is Josh, no. And his account says Dougie Pumpkin... Anyway - as far as i'm aware; yes you can ride 24"s in comps, so the choice is yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyluke Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 probly depends on what your are used to using. I did mountain biking before i started trials so i bought a 26 inch because i was used to it. but saying that, u could ride a 20 or 24 as well. but 24 inch bikes cost more i think.

djason Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well, my opinion is that if you don't have an experience on trials and this is your first time I advise you to begin with 24" because its easier to learn with that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJohnstone Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 You can ride a 24 in comps now, I rode a few essex comps and a national last year on an Ashton 24". I'd always check when entering though. If comps is your thing though, I would get a 26". 24 just worked against me in comps. especially with my street setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
