dann2707 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I learned on a 20" and found it much more easier than when I had my 26". Easier to perform manouvures in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dušan Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I did not read the whole topic just few of your posts.... from what i red .... you are a beginner which already wants to do big stuff .... like 360 drops... etc t hat will be a long way till you can get Basically you can do all trials stuff on all 3 types... Its just about you and what you feel the most comfortable with.... i used to ride mod.... now i ride stock cause iam more comfortable with it (iam riding for 7 months and some days so i can say iam still beginner) when i moved to stock i did a big jump in my riding... 24" is good but as a beginer i would never go for it as my first bike....i think you will learn the basics better on bike which is more trial orientated in my humble opinion you know cause 24" frames are not really trialsy so its different and ofc the seat.... you will get reaaally lazy... The best way how to know what bike is for you to try as many as possible.. but if u really want 24" go go tartybike.co.uk iam pretty sure you will find something there for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDPhAsE1.1Rider Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 im looking to get my first trials bike, but im stuck on whether to get a 20" or 26" ! im about 5'5" and about 150 pounds. im caught up between these two size. i like hopping up onto high objects, doing 360 drops and mostly stuff on the back wheel. 20" looks like fun but i think the 26" will be more practical, because i live in South africa and it is hard to get trials bikes and spares here! are there any disadvantages of either one that i can take into consideration? any advice? really stuck on this decision thanks! I hve ridden both and for hopping and rear wheel tricks i would say I prefer the 20" as they are light and nimble im looking to get my first trials bike, but im stuck on whether to get a 20" or 26" ! im about 5'5" and about 150 pounds. im caught up between these two size. i like hopping up onto high objects, doing 360 drops and mostly stuff on the back wheel. 20" looks like fun but i think the 26" will be more practical, because i live in South africa and it is hard to get trials bikes and spares here! are there any disadvantages of either one that i can take into consideration? any advice? really stuck on this decision thanks!

They have the same wheelbase too. Mod(20'' bike) is easier to start on like everyone mentioned here. 24'' bikes feels very bulky and stiff. How tall are you?
