Ash-Kennard Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Stock It's the way forward!! Stock If you want something to progress on well, after the beginner stage Mod If you want something to throw around and learn easier. ash.

Barbra Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 have a ride on the both a mod and a stock, then decide yourself.....but i'd definetly say mod :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo_Monkey Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 it makes no difference what weight or hight you are, iv seen 15-16 stone blokes ride a mod better than most and iv seen scrawny weedy 5 foot blokes throw around a long stock bike, you have to get the bike YOU like the most by the time you are good enough to know whether you made the right choice or not (and beleve me the only way to know is to actualy ride the bike) you will prob be thinking of upgrading anyway so go with your gut feeling - watch some trials vids what style of riding suits you? who do you look up to etc.. the stock vs mod debate will always be found on trials forums untill the sport is dead and gone and as i said there is no answer its up to you. what you usualy get as an answer is sombodys persoanl preference in bikes - this is not good enough justification for spending £400 plus, however ase there is no answer here is my opinion i find stock bikes more hastle than mods, gears and derailers and gear shifters etc.. plus they are alot bigger so if you aint got much room in your garage/flat/house/bedroom then they can be a pain in the ar5. stock bikes are also more expensive in every way ie. a good stock hub is £100-£350 where as a good mod hub is £40 plus a £12 acs claw for the same performance (almost). stock bikes are roumoured to hop higher as you are already an extra 6" of the ground, i have never seen this proved. stock bikes do make you go bigger eventualy as they are bigger themselves and the geometry on good stock frames like a zoo pitbull or onza t-rex is geard towards this. stock bikes are more stable than mods, mods have twitchier steering as they have smaller wheels. mod bikes do make you learn alittle faster (depending on how comited you are) as they are eaisy to throw around so make those first few confidence inspiring hops alittle easier. mods usualy use an ACS claw freewheel or better these have 36 engagement points, that is singly the best thing you could ask for on a trials bike. and finaly - i think the t-pro rules the world - exactly the same geometry as a koxx level boss, which costs way over double the price. plus its a great speck and looks sexy - in comparison the t-rex is a medioca spec with nice geometry and good potential for upgrade / progresion altho for tha cash my moneys on the T-pro all the way sorry that was abit long - like i said get the one YOU like the most, from there on its all good :) trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earsy104 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 oh my god zoo monkey wrote abit havnt you ....lol......anyway i would say t-rex as it is going to be a bike that would hopefully last you a lot longer than the pro would also as in my opinion stock is a lot better and iam getting a t-rex like next week hopefully so yer go with the t-rex matey boy cya good luck :) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp101 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think Koxx is by far the coolest brand, why? "Level Boss" because we all used to play Super Nintendo, and when we got to the level boss, yes...that was awesome. Never ridden koxx, dunno much about their style, but goddamn, they seem cool That's it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 go for a t-rex mate you cant go wrong, you may learn quicker on a mod but the t-pro is rubbish i believe and the t-rex is pimp or failing that if you want to get a custom bike you got to get the onza Limey ridden by danny butler its a sick frame go for a stock mate far better in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 since your just about a 6ft lad i think that if you wanted you could get a stock ( the t-rex and muscle it about or you could just get a mod. easier to learn on :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdude2006fr Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 i would say get the mod(tpro) because mods are easier to learn on, and usually you will learn quicker on a mod, then if you feel you want a different experience then you could go for stock ect! i know alot of people who have used mod as a cheaper quicker way to get right into trials and have then felt they wanted to move to stock after a year or 2. but in the end ride both and see what suits you most :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullitt Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Im gunna go for the mod because I realy cant do alot so a stock would be a bit pointless (N) thnx for your help guys :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson_26_ Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Shall i go for a mod or a stock for a begginers bike? If it helps i am 5 ft 11" and weigh 9 and a half stone. If you do go for a mod in the end i wouldnt go for the pro, my mates got one and and hes had a bit of trouble with it. Id go for a T-Mag its got good spec and its fairly light, but at the end of the day its up to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earsy104 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 i was thinking the same thing we had one of these debate's last week which i so kindly made now why dont you read that as there are many points most of which are the same points on that topic i think there is around 50 comments so have a look at that one.

B11TME Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have a T-Rex and i am new to trials and on my second day out i was able to kick forward on the back wheel down steps..I was well pleased on how easy the t-rex was to ride. Go stock because its for the men 20" is for little boys :) :sleeping: B) GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat-jake Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 i started trials not long ago i had a t-bird (20"), and i got bord and now have bought a koxx levelboss (26") if was you id go for the T-rex. you will always love the 26", if you do get a 20" i think that you will get bord with it, but thats just my thoughts fat-jake.

Simpson Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 if i say what i think....... it don't matter...... if you ride a t rex you will ride stock if you ride the t pro you will ride mod and will adapt to either, its about the bike which is the best value for money, then you will ride either mod or stock, it means nothing but people like to think of theres as being the best for certain things but if the rider is good then............

am4zin Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 im not to sure about the whole stock vs. mod thing, but at least with a stock bike that has a cassette on the back you can ride around town to different places at a reasonable speed and not get knackered :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 go for the t-rex you wont be ashamed its so nice on the back wheel and gapping is a piece of piss on it or failing that if you want to build it up i would consider a onza limey or the pitbull 06 pimp frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
