JDStrials Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi, i'm new to trials bikes that have pedals, I usually ride a beta rev 3. I am looking for a good beginner bike to help practise when I'm on the streets. any help appreciated also is there any major differences between 20" and 26", are they for different things thanks Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestDump Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 From things I have read on here 20" bikes are a lot easier to learn on, this is what I have been riding since I started trials as they are nice and easy to whip and bounce around on, very fun. Onza bikes are probably the base level of 20" bikes and are rather easy to improve on, I started on an Onza Rip which was good but I think the Onza Bird would be as basic as you would want to get for a starter bike as this has a rear 19” wheel. The size bike could also come down to how big you are, however I'm 6ft4 and ride a 20" bike comfortably. James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. it depends on your size and what your used to, I prefer 20inch bikes because they are much easier to move about on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
