GBULL Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I am very new to trials bike sport arena. Being new, I needs some advise as to where & what length of non-suspension fork for my Cove Stiffee FR frame. This will be my first "trials bike" to pick-up the skills. I am most to read some reply & advise from the forum member on converting a free-ride bike frame into more trials bike feel. Thanks..

Adam-Griffin Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 i'd just suggest you buy a new bike specificly designed for trials because if not its more than likelly to snap/crack ETC a friend of mine bought an appolo X-rated and tried turning that into a trials bike besided the fact that every body ripped the p**s out of him it was the ugliest, heaviest, most non pratical excuse for a trials bike i have ever seen lol hope i helped Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.w Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 i agree saving and waiting for a cheap second hand bike is a great idea. Also you can pick up a new mod for £200 and as you get better you can upgrade your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBULL Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Thanks guy for the input. After doing some research, getting a complete trials bike is much cheap than a upgrading mountian bike to be more trials bike feel in Canada. I am more whole hearted to get a new/used trials specific bike now with the saving I get. Also, after watching some video and notice that my Cove frame's is bit too tall for trials bike type of functionality. Thanks against.
