What's bikes should I keep?

[Explosifpete]

I currently have an inspired hex for trials and a Stanton slackline for street, pump tracks and Mtb trails.

the slackline is a bit slow for xc duties and I don't use the hex than much as it's a bitch to pedal anywhere.

so I'm thinking about getting an xc bike and then something for trials that I can also jump.

im thinking lighter than the slackline and with a shorter fork, 4x bike maybe?

any ideas?

Keep the Hex.

I can't jump the hex for toffee!

It is possible though and not that hard with the right technique.

consider a different bar and stem for jumps and stuff?

If you like Stanton bikes they do a 4x which looks pretty sweet....

24seven do a good range of 4x dirt jump type bikes, used to have a substance 26 inch and a dark angel 24 inch, both pretty good bikes.

If you want xc though you maybe better getting a bigger bike though and getting something specific to the task otherwise it'll only end up doing half a job.

You mentioned street, does the hex not fit that bill?

...Just FYI: that's not a Hex

No it's sex on wheels, but yeah try different gearing and bar/stem setup should be sweet for jumps.

I know it's a Console. I was more referring to a street trial bike for this kinda use.
