smoke257 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hey I'm just starting out with trials and would like some help picking the right bike. I have been looking at some 20" onza's and i generally am looking for A trials with 20" wheels for about £100-£200. I don't no much about trials yet so any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 depends how much it would cost you, 'cause it would be hard to upgrade (it has a 20" rear wheel, not a 19" like most mods now do, you you would have limited tyre choice) as said before go for something more modern idealy a t-pro or 06 t-bird?

smoke257 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm new to trials so i don't no much about the 19" and 20". Could you not mount maguras on a 20" wheel? And are most tires these days I.e creepy crawlers and such only made to fit 19" wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmarks2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 tip- try as hard as you can to stretch you budget, you can spend 200 on a onza now, and in 3 months time you'll want some thing else! i would wait untill i had like 350-400 and get a levelboss with bab parts on it, and a magura.
