mike Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Right guys, i've ridden trials for a while now, and my initial bike (mission prodigy) is getting boring, so in the summer i was going to sell my mission, and get a new bike. which all seemed good until....Which bike?i'm on quite a small budget of around 500 pounds, so the bikes i have been looking were:The 05 T-MagOR...The 05 T-Rex.i've ridden a stock before (a levelboss) and found it good fun, but as i've been on a mod for over a year i'd feel at home on the T-mag.the T-mag has the front disc which i would probably end up getting on my T-rex (if i get it)What do you guys reccomend?cheers guys.Mike!!!

Jay Jay Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 If you feel comfortable on a mod then get a mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff... Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 If you're more at home on the mod get the mod but what ever you end up getting will be great and you will love the diffrence.Cheers Kyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'd say stick with mod but only cos i like mods. don't be afraid to phone and ask a shop for a custom build if you want different components - i got a t-pro with t-mag front end for not too much extra.

mikey23 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) it all comes down to personal preference really. If you think a mod is best for you, then go for the mod. If you think you will benefit from a stock, go for the stock. They both have their pros and cons and everyone will tell you something different.I've found no one can choose your bike for you, so find one that suits you and go for it!

Trials Dave Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 it depends on your height. if your like 6ft i would advise you to go for a stock.mods are probably better for shorter riders because they are less of a handfull and easier to throw about,i am 6ft 3" and i am much happier on a stock. i get back problems on mods and short stock frames because i am too crouched up on them.up to you, whatevere your happier with!dAVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 hi i did exact same as you and i got a stock i was looking at a t-rex but i got a zebdi instead id go with the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 depends really if you are tall then you can ride both mod and stock but if arent then i would suggest a mod, or if you cant decide... get a 24" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 im 5'11 and loving stock i prefer the gearing and im quite well built and enjoy the challenge of throwing the bike above me, (its a bit of a tank but well nice on the back wheel) but i think you should have a propper go on a stock before making a decision. After riding for a year though you should have enough info. to make your own judgements on it. personally i wouldnt enjoy a t mag or a t rex ive riddern them both and just dont like them but thats just my personal choice i think everyone loves there bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Geary Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Witch ever one you feel comfy with, If i was to get a stock it would be a T-rex if i was to get a mod it would be a t mag or a t pro, There both mint bikes.Have you tried out any mods or stock, if not i think you should just to get used to witch u like more.
