Onzaallen Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi, I am tempted to say 26" because of you're height but so many people would say different......Organize a ride near you and have a shot on as many mods and as many stock (26") and see which you prefer.Good luck with making you're choice though.

Ride or die Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 If you can put up with gears go for 26" It really dosent matter about the hight anybody can ride 20" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you do is type in:[url=http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/whateverthelinkis]Type in what you want to appear[/url]Then, it turns up. e.g. Link If you're on a budget, mod may be a better idea. However, if you can afford to spend more, then a new stock would be more reachable. Mod full builds (an ideal choice for you if you're starting) tend to be a lot cheaper than a stock full build, and be much better spec'd in comparison. Riding wise, you'll get used to whatever you get, really. If you learn on mods you'll adapt to how mods work, but if you learn on stock you'll adapt to stocks basically. There's no 'right' answer, and you won't know what you want to do on your bike 'til you get one, basically. Just find one that's the right price for you and go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammmy Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well the little bit of trials ive done has been on a 26" so i guess i could say i already got some experience on that sized bike.. plus the videos of vincent hermance have inspired me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammmy Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Never actually had the chance of riding trials on mod.. just sat on one once.. but im kinda used to 26" n i guess if i start on 26" and wanna go to a mod the change wont be quite so dramatic as reverting from mod to 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Marcus Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I started on 20" and fount it amazing then i went up to 26" after a year for about 6 months but with all the problems i had with the bike (saracen 2.6 - not good in my eyes now to be honest) i went back down to 20" and ever since then i have progressed alot!20" are a helll of a lot easier to throw about etc, but with your height it probibly would be best to go with a 26" as riding a 20" may feel a wee bit uncumfortable but i dont know, its your choice really! the best thing to do would probibly be have ablast on them both and see what you think is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbeen Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hello iam the same size and i ride both mod and stock i find mod easier because of the size of it. But i also like stock to ride because of my size and it is bigger and imo look better doing stuff on a stock.But try to ride both and say what you like more to ride go on different stocks and mod from small wheelbase like then new onza t-max for mod and Adamant A2 for stock for the small wheelbase then for a bit longer go for a zoo python or a zona zip and for stock go for a GU Typhoon or Czar Ivan. hope this help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
