supafly1982 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Im after a mod, been looking at bikes the likes of comps, t-mags, pros. Is there any perticular bike that would be well suited to my height, im 5'9" and just going to get into Trials so looking for cheapish secondhand, the trials is to learn skills to compliment my usual riding. 180's, hops, endo's stuff like that would be handy for me to learn.

dann2707 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think any mod would suit you fine, its more to do with the bars/stem set up that will alter the feel of the bike with regards to your height. T-pros are renound for being basic the perfect geo though, it just works with anything imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the mysterious leemur Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 It´s a good bike,but I´m not too sure it suits your begginer needs(BB very high makes a lot of basic moves more difficult). I have one only problems are - Brakes are awful , leek and not very good performance . Switch to hopes or Magura disk Bars , stem , pedal and forks are quite snap happy . If your quite short the bike may be too long for you , I'm 5 foot seven inches and it's alright for me using TGS style . Apart from that the bike is of very good construction and the frame / spannish bb could very easily be changed into an amazingly good bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafly1982 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 aye just unsure what to get, have got it down to 3 choices, a Pro, a T-mag or the Echo lite, they all have pros and some cons as far as im aware, ive been trying to find reviews but it seems pretty scarce with Trials stuff, much easyer to get reviews for MTB, im guessing its because Trials is a bit less popular and more speciffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT.. you want an echo lite without... echo sl forks echo bars echo pedals echo brakes if you can find a second hand echo where someone has changed these parts ^ for stronger and better ones.. youll be quids in. adam93 was selling his echo lite with dual hopes i think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
