moe Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 hey my names joe and i dont do trials but im thinkin about starting. What bike should i get? I'd prefer a 20inch as it wud feel better cos i do bmx. also it needs to be fairly cheap and also cheap to maintain (doesnt break all the time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 All trials bikes are very very high matenence not like a bmx at all! but youd be best looking arround for a 20 inch 2nd hand onza t pro or something simmilar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyb Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 wt bout t bird. most beginners that ive seen ave one of them. is this cos its the best or what? No it's quite the opposite get a second hand t-pro a lot of people on here have them. and they should be fairly cheap now <_< rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 no not really just a cheap beginers bike which when upgraded will do you well if you improve most aspects of the bike!

mackey Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 i think you should go for something like a t-bird or a t-pro because these are both good beginners bike and even top riders ride the t-pro also both these bikes are easily upgradable if you want to :D ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 ok cheers. I know im somewhere in the onza region but i think ill probably go for a t-bird as a t-pro seems sort of more advanced somehow. like a guy learning to drive with a tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 ashton mod, actually really good value and look the dogs bollox! Also the onza range is pretty good, but not as nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock trials the real sport Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Why not just go for some big wheels! 26" Baby! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 No people ride lots of t pro's solid bikes I wouldn't say they're 'solid bikes' Somehow i've manahed to crack my one. Really don't know how, I'm not exactly the best rider, I don't do much to front wheel, or anything to put alot of pressure on the front end for it to crack. But should last a good while for a beginner :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 why suggest he goes for a 26" when he's specifically askin for a 20" starter bike!! not too helpfull t-pros are from what i can see just a better quality bike with better geo, if u can get one go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock trials the real sport Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I know im just joking around. An ashton/base or one of the onza's is your best choice. What about zonas ??? arent they pretty cheap too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know im just joking around. An ashton/base or one of the onza's is your best choice. What about zonas ??? arent they pretty cheap too? Yes the zona's are cheap but they are not good begginers bike they are too long and a bit to heavy for my liking :D rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 the new t-bird is 350 now and the t-pro is 420 so if you are willing to spend the xtra get the t-pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials goblin Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 GET A T-BIRD they are cool bikes to learn on and really easy to upgrade :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch A Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Im not sure if you have said but how much are you willing to spend? The T-bird or the T-pro are the way to go :( If you get a t-bird change the freewheel to 16t. It will make things easier and give you a better gear ratio :S Hope i have helped Mitch :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
