LiamWood! Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Try someone else's stock and see how it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koxx lad Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have it feels ok but my mates stocks arnt the lightest lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex-trials-boy Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think tarty used to say around 5ft7 was the smallest height to go on a stock, im also 5ft8 and recently got a stock id say aslong as its quite a short wheel base you'll be ok, i love mine to bits but as said above try a mates and see, even if they are heavy if you like it then build or buy a lighter one hahaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Go on a group ride and try someone's 24" trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I wouldn't get a stock purely to get bigger gaps, just learn how to do them on a mod better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koxx lad Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Its not just gaps its upto fronts all aspects just look easier if im honest and i wanna go 24" but the prices for a 24 are stupid even for a batterd one they still go for about 450 lol and ill look out for a short wheelbase stock cheers pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to suddenly get better gaps you could try longer cranks.. But then again your rolling moves will suffer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0zzy Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 i think moving to stock was the best thing i ever did. recommend it to everyone as long as the bike fits them and feels good ofcourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 They only look easier because the wheels look smaller in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
