Tom_ Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 I currently ride mod which is ok, but I also ride a DMR transition on the streets. As you can probrably imagine they feel rather different. I was just wondering about going stock to reduce the change. I dont want to go 24 as then my riding will be really street and i would have no use for my transition. My quiestion is how does a stock feel different to a mod. I know all the advantages and disadvantages. I want to no the difference in feel. No one else really rides stocl round here for me to go on.anyway sorry about the NMC question.cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon W Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 get a stock , imo stocks ride way nicer to ride mods are way to flicky for my liking, stocks are a real mans bike and the change to your trabsition will be more subtle wen u get a 26 MODS ARE JUST FLIKKYER THEN 26" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 stocks feel much nicer!! mods feel like kids bikes, small, twichy, nasty!! Stocks actually seem to fit grown people, the bikes are more stable and can roll over a lot more stuff.I would say the handling was a bit more nimble on a stock. With a mod, you have a really long boat of a stem, so steering feels really naff! On a stock the steering and handling is much nicer (unless you have a big high bb frame!)

GTF Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Go for a stock. Can do much more on them, rather on the little mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
