mat hudson Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 best remove the 2nd paragraph for quick validation :lol: have you ridden any other bikes before, have you tried any other bikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-mag_rider Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 As mat said, just try both styles of bikes, and see what you like best, others can't decide what you like best. So just try as many different bikes as you can, and see what you like. Hope I help. Ollie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infurnass Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have used both but not a really good 26" im buying my final bike u see after having a t-pro for a year. i do love 20" but when i had a 26" i loved it too :lol: . I might just get a zoo python 20" or a new Gu typhoon 26". The zoo will cost a little less and weigh less, but the Gu look bloody awsome :lol:. I need to test someones bike really lol but it aint gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 why not? you could arrange to go for as ride with someone with the bikew you want, get there by train/bus have a fun ride, try their bike, go home, order the bike if you like it.

am4zin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 ive been riding trials for a few months and ive got a stock bike because it was easier for me to get hold of one and liked the fact they looked more like a normal mountain bike. im not very good at trials but when i tried my friends mod i had more fun on it doing the same moves as i do on my bike, just because it felt more throwable. still not sure if i'd prefer to have a mod though.

poopipe Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Everyone knows that 20" is cheating >_< everyone knows trials was invented on 20 inch bikes so there... :huh: - I figure you're best off going for the wheel size you're used to . I used to ride BMX so i got a mod, if you're used to silly big wheels go for a stock. That said - theres not a lot of difference in feel between my t-pro and my mate's toxsin1 cos of the way he has it set up (if anything, his feels a little shorter in the cockpit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Swindlehurst Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 go for 20" >_< :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 if your really tall go for a 26" and if small 20" keith this isnt haveing a go at you but how does size matter... im not short (not too tall either) and i ride a mod, just look at BMX's they're designed around people 5ft to 6ft (teenagers) >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 20+26 are both shit, get a 24 >_< the new onza thingy, you know the one that looks like a scaled down t-rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infurnass Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) I agree with u ash but their parts are total S*&£ :huh: if they did echo 24" trial wheels and 24" zoo, Gu or koxx frame i would. I was riding for 2 hours today though and trying tons of front wheel stuff, but when i do i really cant help but think that i want a 26" or 24", altho that aint really an option. Also if i was to do a 26" bike what gears should i get cause on my mod its 18 tooth Front and a 12 Back. i would put my 18t freewheel on the front and what do i pic for back 12, 13 or a 14 ? >_< Btw im 6 ft 2 inch.

Martin Grainger Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I belive it is better to start on 20" and if you move up, have a 20" spare bike just incase you dont like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infurnass Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Yup trials not trians. i have a 20" a t-pro its ok not amazing but i think i have decided now. Im gonna get that 26" altho it cost a bit more. if i dont ill only be wondering what if i had that 26" :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoust Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 What bike do you people think are the best for trials. The bouncy 20 inch or the masterful 26 inch. :) you should think about your size and ability cos if your tiny theres no point getting a missive 26" (Y) ......steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
