G_! Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 hi, Enric Gibert is writing a article for a MTB magazine about 24" trial bikes and he want to know the opinion of the people. He will put some of these words in the article. What do you think about these bikes? Do you think they will have a good futur? etc... all you can say about it will be great thanks a lot for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is the article about 24" bikes in general, or more specifically street based 24" riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_! Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Is the article about 24" bikes in general, or more specifically street based 24" riding? this is more for 24" Trials bikes, but you can speak about street 24" too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arw_86 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) i believe the 24" has a huge future as its the biggest bridge towards the much bigger sport of BMX. A mix of trials and BMX can only be a good thing, with a huge potential for people to switch between sports or ultimately have the best of both and ride 24". It's only going to get bigger, better and more widely followed. adam Edited March 23, 2011 by arw_86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multi tasking male Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 i find riding my 24" extremely fun and i also love the fact that you can put some bmx riding into trials of trials into bmx. i use to do bmx before i started trials, bought a 24" and will never go back, love it, great fun and hopefully everyone else will realise how fun 24" trials is aswell chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'd like to see some 24's competing in the British Cup this year, be interesting to see how they do compared to the 26 and 20's. I do of course mean the more trials orientated models rather than the streety type frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Savage got a 2nd place last year, but shit implementation of the 24" rule by the UCI meant that due to a rider protest he was DQ'd (or something along those lines). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I only made the last round last year and had to rush off shortly after finishing so never really saw anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 It was the first round of the year. A few other riders had planned to run 24" last year too, but because of that protest weren't able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Anyone who has not ridden a 24" trials trials bike should do. Particularly anyone who's ridden both mod and stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'd love to try but theres no more room in the shed and my wife would go sick if another frame turned up in the post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Get it delivered to work build it there and ride it back, she won't be able to tell the difference between it and any of your other bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 If anyone ever gets bored of trials, try a short 24" - you'll never look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I started on a mod then went to stock. Now I'm on a 24inch. I ride street, natty and starting comps. Loving how it rides and how there is a comprmise(sp) between the other to. Can roll over things that a mod cant but you can fit into gaps that a stock would struggle with. Think its the best of both worlds and will have a big following in the future when company's start to invest in it more. Also Mark what was the protest about?

Revolver Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 'Hey that guy's on a 24" riding in the 26" route, he's got a weight advantage and I suck' At a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hahahahhahahahahahahhahaha! That was pretty much it I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 No-win situation or what? If he did well, he gets disqualified, if he sucked, it's his fault he picked a dud bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 To the OP: Write in your article, until a really good tyres are made for 24, i.e Continental derkaisers 24 or maxxis minion 24 that dont weigh a ton or try all sticky 24 tyres then it is doomed imo. There are tyres out there being used by people that say they are fab but really nothing near as good as those tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tyres out there being used by people that say they are fab but really nothing near as good as those tyres. My Urban Swamp 2.5 is perfect, took so much weight off my back wheel compared to the High Roller, and my bike feels really light. Not doomed. Also Continental are rumored to be producing a 24" range? Agreed that Try-all 24" would be awesome though. Edit: Matt has a good point though, put that in the magazine...more 24" trials suitable tyres are needed. Have I now contradicted myself?

monty-james Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 24"s are awesome, ive ridden a couple of Inspired Fourplays and they feel really nice. I dont think id get one though, id much rather just go stock. Which i intend to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
