neverstopexploring Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 hi im new to trials riding but am very keen and am looking into getting a bike. i have quite a low budget so the onza rip 2011 looked good for me. however i am 6 foot 4" and 12 stone will the bike being wheel sized 20" be an issue for someone of my height? also anyone who knows information on the onza rip 2011 can i have your opinions of the bike or any bikes which may be more suitable for someone of my size and complete beginner ability. cheers. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCaptain Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've never ridden mod so I can't say for sure, but I'd say you might have to change the stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozzer Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I don't know whether it would be a problem or not, but if you did decide to buy a 24" then the onza zoot would be a good choice for a similar price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 The rip has a 20" rear wheel whereas most mods have a 20" front and 19" rear. This means upgrading in the future is a pain in the arse. Concerning the Zoot it's a street trials bike, primarily designed for bmx'y style moves which is something to take into account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverstopexploring Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 cheers for all the advice, i was looking at the zoot but its abit above my budget and i gave tartybikes a ring and they said a 20" is usally quickest to learn on. so i got the 2011 rip quite happy with it not been off it all day. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Pointed out, The bloke was talkin about a Trials bike not an oversized BMX. cheers for all the advice, i was looking at the zoot but its abit above my budget and i gave tartybikes a ring and they said a 20" is usally quickest to learn on. so i got the 2011 rip quite happy with it not been off it all day. ) Not been off it all day?

ooo Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) i moved to 20" its seeming harder than 26" so far.. hopefully in time, other moves will be easier. Edited October 19, 2011 by ooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
