max-t Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 hi there if you are just starting out i would reccomend a 20" bike from the onza range the onza t pro is what i'd advise you to look at in particular as it features many good parts and has very good geometry. (nice bike to ride) might have to wait a while though as they are not yet in stock. linky or if you would prefer to start out on a larger bike such as a stock bikes with 26" wheels i would say get the onza t - rex as it again is an ideal bike and features some strong parts.very good value much like the t pro. linky however...if you do not wish to buy either of these types you could also invest in a 24" wheeled bike such as a onza zoot.these bikes are aimed more at the bunnyhoping so called 'bmx style' of trials and it less suited to massive gaps sidehops and things like that.this bike also features some very strong parts and is again really good value. if none of these bikes appeal to you then how about trying a search on e bay and buying there usually there are some very good trials bikes both 20" 26" and 24" being sold dirt cheap and delivery is dead quick. if you get a trials bike you might want to think about getting some good brake pads as the ones that have come standard on the bikes that i reccomennd are not soo good. i would strongly advise you to get either the plazmatic crm pads , onza citrus , koxx bloxx browns or the rock pads. a good back break is essential for all trials riders it can be the difference to falling off and hurting yourself badly and making it and not falling off and getting more confidence. the pads can all be found here. linkygood luck with trials! max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afro dude Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 If you want a new bike it depends what you fill more comftable if you ride beater on 24 or 26 inch then get a T-rex if you fell beater on a 20 inch get an onza T- pro or something.

Trials Maniac Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Heya m8, how you getting on with picking a bike. If your new to trials you probably don't wnat to get a really expensive bike to start off with. Id say a second zoo python (mod) would be ideal if you can get one at a good price. They are very storng frames (note though they do not have bash guards, i dont know if you want a bike with a bash guard) and take alot of bashing about. Another bike id very much recommend is the onza t-pro aswell, good price brand new (i think the 2007 ones are £349 not 100% sure though) and again strong frame (not as strong as the zoo!) and easy to ride bikes. If you prefer a 26" bike then im afraid i can't really help you there as a have never really riden a 26". It depends on what you feel comfortable with. to decide which bike you want. Like max-t said there are some very good bikes on ebay dirt cheap so have alook on there aswell!. The main thing though is have fun on whatever bike you choose!!! Good luck with finding a bike m8, and happy trialingAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinold Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I suggest you get an onza t-pro because they are amazing for beginners and very light. They are also better loads lighter than bikes like t-birds and saracens. If you are going to get a t-pro, it would be a good idea to wait for the 07 t-pro that is coming out, i am not sure if they are better than the 06 but i am guessing they will be practically the same.
