FREESTYLE911 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi everybody! My name is Dr. Nick! No, seriously, I'm pretty new to trials, but by seeing the videos and technique you gain by trial riding, man it really got to me! Just to let you know, up to now I've been riding a Fly Bikes BMX, so probably mod bikes are better for me, but what is the main difference really? Which are more stable? Which are easier to learn from? My main use of the bike will be street trials, and maybe a few competitions, but I still like to have top quality products. Monty (for mod only), Ashton and Gu are my favourite component brands. Waiting for you replies. . . . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 If your main use of the bike will be street trial, you can ride a 24". Like the Heatsink.It is better for 180° for example.26" is mostly used, but the 24" bikes are new.I never see a mod in street trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREESTYLE911 Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 here's a street trial video, and one of the riders rides a mod (monty 221ti) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O41KUy7Fo7A seems pretty stable though cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 A streety stock feels more like a bmx then a mod i belive.Stocks are much more stable, but mods are much easier to learn stuff on.I'd say go for a mod if your into bmxing, stick with the wheel sise.

Thats kyle hinchcliff riding a adament and it's a 26" not a 24" like you saidA 20" will be better for you to learn on, if you have been riding a bmx before maybe something like a monty keep it short if you have been riding a bmx.Matt Rushton Edited October 27, 2006 by matt rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
