I would try TARTYBIKES For parts and bikes. Good Look on choosing i would get a zoo! python or a Gu typhoon, or for 26" i would get a Gu typhoon or a zoo! Pitbull, it is completely to taste and budget mate!Hope ive helped,Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Depends on weather you want to ride 20" wheel or 26" wheels.... or 24" wheels nowadays.Also depends on your budget.The new 07 onza range is well worth a look when they are comming out. Especially the t-comp (assuming your wanting to ride 20") which is looking to be an excellent bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-OM Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i would get a 20" or 26" bike off ebay you can find amazing deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) at the top of the page theres a banner advertising all the trials bike shops may be it would be a good idea to have a look on there. and im sure that select would build the bike up for you if you told them the spec you wanted. infact im certain they would. the onza bike ranger is usually the best started bikes as they are great value for money but if money isnt a object then theres so many different frames you could get depending on your taste which im asuming you dont realli no yet as your just starting out. but id say dont get a long bike or high bottom bracket bike as they are the complete oposite of a bmx and it mite take you a fair while to get used to making you not improve as quick.

Randivark Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) thnx a ton! i am going to get a high bottom bracket though because i was looking for something different from bmx and id like 26" wheels ( i think they give better absorbtion?? )this is the one id loovve http://www.selectbikes.com/shop/description.php?prodid=257# just click the frame and behold yeah well thnx bytheway why does trails bikes wheels not have many spokes? i thought that with trails you need superstrong wheels?and what is good and bad about 20" and 26" wheels? is there a difference other than the "feel" to it?and is it impossible to get disc breaks for the back wheel? ive only seen it on a few at www.biketrialco.com but not at tartybikes ?

steve@banbury-trials Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 most trials bike wheels have 32 spokes on the front and 36 spokes on the rear (which is a good combination of strength and weight ) ,also the wheels are laced into different patterns with 4 or 3 cross being used on the rear wheel most commonly ; by saying cross i'm referring to how many time spoke cross other each over .the main key points of 20 wheels are . . . they lose speed quickerdon't ride as easy as 26 over rough terrainstronger wheelspain in the bum to ride over a great distancethe main key points of 26 wheels are . . .keep their speed betterrole faster (greater speed which is good when being chased by chavs )weaker wheelsrole over rougher stuff easyer hope this makes sense,sorry if i doesn't i'm not to amazing at explaining .steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
