trials wanabe Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi just joined but don't have a trials bike yet. I have looked at all the different wheel sizes and the people using them in competition but I'm no less confused. What do the wheel sizes relate to height, type of riding or personal preference?

isitafox Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Personal preference all the way. You'll find that at one time or another most trials riders will have had a variety of sizes and types of bikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials wanabe Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks for your reply isitafox what are the up sides and down sides to the three wheel sizes? From a total novices point of view it seems to be a trade off between weight and grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 How tall are you? If you are on the smaller side a 20" (AKA a mod) might fit a bit better and be easier to handle. https://www.facebook.com/trialsqueensmight be worth asking there too as they should be able to give more women-specific advice.
