rocky111 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 It has always baffled me slightly when I'v seen videos of people riding stock and mod one after the other, as it seems to take me a good week just to adjust to a new frame or set up, and feels very weird trying someone else's bike. Can anyone who rides both or two different set ups explain, as I don't understand how muscle memory can allow for difference, how does it not confuse the hell out of you? 0_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsiain Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 my cousin rides both, but after a long time of riding one he tends to prefer that until he rides his other one for a long time lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 i suppose its the same as riding pedal trials and moto trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Usually only takes me a minute or two to adjust but it's mainly down to the feel of a different bar and stem setup rather than mod vs stock. If I run the same bars on two bikes (which I have done in the past) then I can switch really easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 when i ride moto trials after being on cycles trials i tend to try and push my feet down thinking it will move it forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 When I ride cycle trials after doing moto trials it feels like the bike is the lightest thing in the world and so easy to move it about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) It only takes my a couple of minutes, even though my stem/bar set up is completely different. Edited September 12, 2012 by monty221ti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Im one of those people who can adapt to the way any bike rides fairly quickly. Suppose it depends on how varied your skill on bikes other than trials is. Being used to numerous bikes and feels will make the transition easier.
