Jimbob 2705 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi Guys, Just got my 1st trial bike and just wondered if there was anything I should upgrade/change?

Thanks Jake, what bars and forks would you recommend that I look at? Ideally I don't want them to be too expensive. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 If it's your first bike, and you've not ridden trials before then I wouldn't worry about changing anything yet. (Unless something is broken) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless something is broken) Good point, I was just wondering if there was anything that seemed out of place or not ideal, so I could change it. I was thinking of getting some riser bars as quite a few people seem to recommend them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer risers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found out from the original owner that the forks are the same ones that came are on the 2009 onza comp pro and blade. Worth changing? Thanks!

ForrestDump Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm unsure about whether you 'need' to change things but when I changed my forks and bars I went with V!Z pro 720 bars and Echo urban 09 forks and would defiantly recommend both. I love the feel of the V!Z bars and they look pretty posh too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 There's nothing wrong with learning trials with flat bars, my bars have very little rise and it's fine. Untill you get good (hopping onto walls four foot high), there is no need to change anything unless it brakes or peforms poorly. Otherwise you end up with an amazing bike that you can't ride properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
