If you do that it's a good idea to get a 26", it also depends on your height though. Mods have been said to be easier to learn on and they are usually lighter and easier to flick about hope i helped you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-birder Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 hi mark1992 i find that 20inch are better for street and sidehops whereas 26inch are more for natural trials and rolling up to things. also 26inch are harder to get onto the rear wheel and you might find them harder to move about. it really depends on your riding style and where you ride if you ride natural more than street and like rolling up to things then 26 is the way to go. but if you like being able to flick the bike around and enjoy doing sidehops, gaps and mainly ride street then go back to 20inch. hope this helps t-birder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 You can pick up a Bionic for not much money at all. Think my old one cost me about £120 brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
