seann Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 why did you pick it and would you change it,as in change from a 20" to a 26" or vise versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I started on 26", I thought it would be more suited to me, but also because it had gears, and i thought it would be good for getting about on. I was so wrong. I ended up turning a trials bike into a 4x/park/street bike. It was an Onza T-Raptor, was good for 300 quid when they were on offer. I've pretty much stuck with 26" until my zoot. Which I absolutely love. Feels lovely. A lot more streety, as there is fack all natural riding around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 well i started on 26inch and stuck with it. i dont think id get rid of stock but if i had the money i might be tempted to get a mod to ride aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG L Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I picked mod and stuck with it. First of all i used to have a few goes on some of the older guys trials bikes i have ridden an onza t-rex, a stock bike which i can't remember the name of i think it is an american company, a monty x-hydra and a onza t-mag. I really liked the fell of the monty because that was very easy to move around on, the t-mag i liked a bit but it didn't feel to comfy (i hate it now it is to short) the t-rex felt very long and hard to move around on and the bike i can't remember the name of felt long and heavy, it was horrible. So i chose mod i got my first trials bike about a year and a bit ago it was an onza t-vee i quite liked it that lasted for around 8 months that suprised me for the things i did on it. And now i ride the onza t-pro and the ride on it is so smooth it's brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saracen Kid Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 test ride both and find out what one you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerbob Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I ride 20 inch because i used to ride cross country mtb and just kept breaking bits, since then i've been 20 inch for everything.get a 24"Although thats not a very useful post, 24 inch bikes look sooo nice (well i think so anyway) and they do feel slightly more flickable than a 26 inch but feel more like a 26 inch, so you get the best of both mod and stock. I think i might even have to get one once i can afford one (10 years maybe after UNI)Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 i rode a stock the first time i ever rode a trials bike... not just one either.. ? Then wheni bought my first bike s an onza t - bird, i choose it because i thought it was more ' trials specific' which was a bit silly, but now i love mod bikes and when ever i ride a friends stock (although i see the appeal) they just seem to bulky for me.. in a way i wish i rode stock because from a visual point of view i think stock ridings look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
