card Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I am totally new to trials or any kind of bike sport but i saw trial riding on tv and i got hooked and wanted to see if i could do it to. I can get my hands on a Onza Tyke. Only thing is on this forum the only thing i can find is about someone who asks if it is ok for his kid to ride on. I am a little bit larger than a kid around 6'4 . So i wanted to know if the Tyke is a childs bike or can i ride it? Probably with a few mods but is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMatt Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 you'd be best off with a 26" wheel size, maybe a 24". I'm 6ft 1 and ride a seatless 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
card Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Ok, a 26" is hard to get. But i came across a 24" here are some foto's. It's an Onza Zoom. Edited April 14, 2017 by card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

card Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks, but i was just to late he just sold it. Just to go off topic but what are the draw backs of me riding a 20"? I read about being to cramped but that it could be over come with a longer stem. Are there other things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
card Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 The same guy who had the tyke contacted me and said he had another mod standing around. It is a koxx but he did not know what type does anyone know what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
