Semaj Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hello, I've decided to give this trials riding a go but don't have a clue on what's the best to buy between a trials bike with 20",24" and 26" wheels fitted...... Out of the three what would be the easier bike to ride and start off on. Reason I'm asking is im on a tighter than normal budget and there's a few to choose from of each so I can't decide what to go for.

Semaj Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 What is your cycling background and how big are you? I don't have much of a history with push bikes to be honest,throughout my teen years I use to mess about on your usual roof the mill mountain bikes but never really done any tricks or that. I'm about 5' 11" and currently 13st but I'm usually 12st.ive put some beef on as I've been off work injured after a motorcycle accident so I plan on getting back down to 12st soon. Its something I've fancied trying and I quite enjoyed wheelying the motorbike but I've been banned from them now from hid so this is the next best thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I always say just get what you can afford and dont spend so much. And old monty 20" for £250 and up should do for anyone who is just learning. Then you can decide if you want to carry on and hopefully know if you want to change to a bigger bike. If you do brake it.. hasnt cost so much and most of the parts go towards spares.. Hope that helps Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Picked it up yesterday and its a beaut..... Can't really ride it properly yet because my wrist is still sore after getting the cast off last Tuesday. Once it's back to normal I'll get cracking with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
