Mockett Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 With the emergence of alot of 24" bikes over the last few years and more streety stocks it is becoming harder to define a trials bike in comparison to just a hard tale 24. So my question is where do you draw the line and say your just riding trials on a 24" street bike and visa versa (your riding street on a 24" trials bike)??

Dan Clark Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Gearing is still a massive difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stya_bear Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I would say its all about the gearing... Trials would be a 24" with low ratio and more trials specific set-ups, while Street riding would be more BMX based products like profile cranks etc with a higher gearing for speed that's my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Gearing is still a massive difference. Never thought of it in that way but now you've said it, it makes sense. I'm with this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
