Southend Trials Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Browsing into it, again, but wandering if i could find a geometory that would make the bike ride as if its a 24" possibly looking into a marino frame.. i personally find a bmx much easier to ride (bunny hop, 180 and three) hence me wanting to find out a geo if any one knows of any? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Are 24's not based around 'BMXy' kinds of geometrys anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Trials Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I've ridden various 24's but they dont offer the flexibility of a bmx, not sure whether its worth just buying a bmx haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I've ridden various 24's but they dont offer the flexibility of a bmx, not sure whether its worth just buying a bmx haha This. I've played on a fair variety of 24's too, and not a single one bunnyhops or spins or manuals as easy as a BMX. If you have a type of riding in mind, get the right tool for the job, otherwise you're just making things harder for yourself. Admittedly, if you want street trials, rather than street BMX - BMXy moves are easier on a 24 than trialsy moves on a BMX. Depends what riding appeals to you.

LukasMcNeal Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Nick stop being a fag! Like I said look at wip bikes, marino are good but not as good and all in all with postage included your looking at roughly the same price! Pete@ Wip Bikes would be happy to sort you out what ever spec you could dream of! Email him! pete@wip-bikes.com / info@wip-bikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Apart from the head angle, I've found my Fourplay feels pretty cool with a short/high front end setup - felt as comfortable doing spins, manuals and stuff like that on my Inspired as I did on my BMX at least. Only difference is stuff like nose manuals really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 BMXy moves are easier on a 24 than trialsy moves on a BMX. That^^ No such thing as 'best of both worlds'. Even if there was, you'd have the problem of the gear, heavy or light, or gears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
