michilinman Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hey, I'm pretty new to trials, my first bike being a Diamondback Tekiya. I practice, practice, practice but don't seem to be getting anywhere. I hear that smaller wheels are a lot easier for beginners. so I was wonderin If anyone had an idea for my second bike-preferably equal to the Tekiya. but 20" or somthing? thanks!

isitafox Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Practice, practice, pra....errrr sorry. Do you ride alone? I do and I find that slows my progression as riding with someone of similar talent or better than you always helps. I would recommend a mod, I bought one for a laugh on here and found I could do more stuff on it, not big but it helped teach me the techniques I needed being lighter, steadier on the back wheel and flickier in general. If you can I'd just look for a cheap onza on ebay until you're validated, how much have you got to spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialzander Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 i had the same problem with the teykiya the hub engagement was shocking, gears went in 5mins and brakes died with inimant failure i would get a 2010 onza as the bikes they are now relaesing are quite nice to actually look at and feel great aswell but the disadvantage is the price as they are quite a new range but if that fails go for an echo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Guy I bought it off does regular rides but i can't get to them, i think that would help a lot. thanks for the advice and i'm watchin a few Onza's on Ebay now. just watched a £700 odd Onza go for £165 just missed it.
