the mysterious leemur Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well a month or so ago I switched to riding 24" from mod , before switching I could land just over 5 pallets ( proper sized ones) 90% of the time but since riding 24" I'm finding it much harder . Is there any sort of change in technique ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mysterious leemur Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 An Echo Trial 2011 , stock apart from the old TryAll Rage bars . Used to ride a Echo Lite 2011 mod . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Stick a mod stem on and it'll ride better, I have a 150mmx35deg stem and rage bars and it sits nicely on the rear wheel and sides nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mysterious leemur Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Just to add , I'm about 5 foot 7 would a mod stem not make it too long ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 You just need to get used to the different body position. Give it some time and keep practising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mysterious leemur Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 You just need to get used to the different body position. Give it some time and keep practising. Thanks for the help guys , I'll try putting on a mod stem tomorrow and see how that feels . I was thinking maybe that it was just a needed to get adjusted wasn't sure though since I have found every move I have tried easier (ie. gaps , front to backs , sidehop the rear , hooks ect ) I'm ordering some stuff from Tarty tomorrow so I might pick up a stem Bloody mod always seems to break when I want to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1040 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Stick with your 24inch give it time. I run mines with a tarty stem and it has to be the nicest bike I've owned from all the stocks and mods i have had and I can ride it just as well if not bigger. As people have side put a higher stem on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
