Markeeb Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey all! I'm new to the whole trials biking and am currently in the process of possibly trading my 2007 Kona Stinky for which has a 26" frame and also is this a good trade?(That question is for the purpose of my Mrs who bought me my Kona). Will this frame size be suitable for me? How much of an impact does frame size have? My Kona Stinky is a 15" but it's for downhill purposes obviously so i'm confused I'm around 5'7 in height and weigh about 10-11 stone if that helps at all. Thanks all.

AndrewEH1 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Trials bikes come in three sizes: 26", 24" and 20". These are the actually the size of the wheels, rather than the frame. At 5'7 you shouldn't have much difficulty with a 26". But it's all personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franksx2005 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 It all depends on what sort of trials you want to get into really. trials frames are normally really small to increase stand over height, the geo of the frame is wehat you want to be looking at really.

bike_dummie Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Id go for the cannibal as it sounds like you have a mountain bike background and you are used to bigger wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
