MikeCottTrials Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) This might sound like a daft question. But has anyone adult sized ever had a go on one? I quite like the idea of having a 20" wheel on the back (tyre choice etc). I also like the way they seem to run a less ridiculous looking stem on, gives it a bmx sort of look. Basically in my mind I'm imagining a bmx with maguras on, that's not too bad on back wheel. I want opinions and I want hard facts Edited April 4, 2013 by MikeCottTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 can imagine hitting your knees on the stem all the time. also I always find a 20 inch back wheel to feel shit and unstable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I've spent some time riding a Koxx Wasp, what I found was that my posture on the bike was really hunched over. If you think of a bmx you're quite upright due to the really high bars, whereas on a small trials bike your weight is that much further forward. I think you'd spend a lot of time removing bits of stem from your kneecaps too Edit: Beaten to the knees Edited April 4, 2013 by TrialsIsHard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M S/c Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Adam had Monty 207's for a few years and I often pinched a quick ride. Im short (only 5'5") but it was way too small. As above BMX bikes feel OK at the bars are high so your more upright. His new Genesis XS (980 wheelbase) does feel a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
