nigel@hull_trials Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 ive ridden mod for just under 2 years and now im going to stock because mods are awsome for natural but stocks win hands down for street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolty Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Mod for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sheehan! Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Mod for me! I have 3 simple reasons for this...1. It's where trials originates from!2. Mod Suits my style of riding 3. Stocks are gay And I have owned both types and i would say Mods are much more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 well stock riders are going to say stock and mod rider will say mod and 24 inch will say 24 inch so nobody really wins STOCKS FOR THE WIN HA HA LOLUntrue. I ride mod and would rather have a stock now. Seems like mods are only limited for actuall trials to a certain extent. Whereas stocks can handle manuals and bunny hops better/ nicer. Plus stock on natural is easy when having to ride up a slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moza Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 26" 4tw, mods suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezaah Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 well all 3 of them have got good and bad sides, don't they.It depends of how you're riding off course. Mod is fun and easy, while stock I think is more easy to go street with and so on...24" I have no experience of alas.. but thinking of getting one, once I've learned to master my Mod a bit more.. They choice of getting an 24" instead of 26" is only because of me not being very big at size, thinking that would suit me better... Anyone with experience of 24" btw? please write and tell!

Broomer Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) well all 3 of them have got good and bad sides, don't they.It depends of how you're riding off course.

Anyone with experience of 24" btw? please write and tell!A mates got a iolo 24inch and its very nice.Reasonabley long for a 24inch but still nice for spins and all that stuff which a 24inch is designed for but is still nice on the rear wheel for trialsy moves.I just feel the cockpit on them is too crowded for me.
