max-t Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 personally i think that it is way easier on a stock.the wheels are bigger and there is more margin for error.with a mod you have to be really accurate with the wheel placing.

White Ranger Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 You'd have to put that question to someone that ride 20" & 26"???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3LLON_t-mag Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 26 is easier for gaps and drops and sidehops for me but when it comes to getting up walls and tech stuff then 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Way easier on a stock. I've ridden mod for ages and when i switched to stock, I could do this technique about 6" higher. What max-t has wrote is 100% true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubZero Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Sorry but , what the hell is wheel switching??Jump on a wall with frontyre than switch to backtyre??We all call it coust over here...cause the caustellier brothersinvented this technik!

Ash-Kennard Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 umm i can probably switch higher than sam, due to bike length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Beckett Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) how the hell do you know? ive done 32 to a rail and 30 over rails.im on about switches, also known as wheelswaps and transfers. not front to back like wheeler does in his video.not sure what your on about ash, to many different names for the same trick , what is a switch?edit; is a switch where you have the front wheel on a wall, and then balence, then hop up to back wheel?if so i get it now, i thort this was on about 'front to backs' because some people call em 'wheel swaps'.

trialsgal Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 ye ben it is when you balance on your front and jump to your back. add a few cheeky front wheel hops whilst your balancing too look smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE trials commentator Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 wheeler does both techniques well,and high.riding in reading with him a while back he was wheel swapping pretty big stuff.but which exactly are we talking about? from static,with the front on top of said object,then lifting to back wheel depends.26"will obviously have the longer frame advantage,but the mod is more manouverable.personally i think 26" is easier,but then again,i cant ride a mod for buggery!ask wheeler and he'll answer differently.its all down to technique,not wheel size.if you look at the pro's and con's,they tend to balance each other out.by the way wheeler agrees that its technique not wheelsize,and his mums fit Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsgal Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 im talking about wheely and hopping into it but ye you can do it from static buts i find it harder. get abit of momentum if u do it the wheely and hop way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsgal Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 lol it right it basically the same technique like just a bit easier lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE trials commentator Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 the pedal hopping in one doesnt make a difference on wheelsize,its ALL technique.its the same for either really?Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-BAD Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 look, does it matter which is easier? seriosly, if it was easier on a mod, then you would'nt just go buy a mod Just for wheel swapping, that would be ghey. i recon its all down to the rider and geo they prefer. say world champion rode bike X, had his perfect geo, could wheel swap 45". then he gets on bike B, and cant even do 40"?(this is an example). Its all about the geo,bike setup and the rider of the bike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
