    Decisions...

    Oh... So they're not actually that bad for pure trials at all then!!! im thinking more 24 from what everyone is saying. Seems to give me the opportunity for more fun in the street and I'll guess it will be good enough for the natural trials I'll actually ride can see an order going in to tarty bikes this week lol

    I've got a Specialized P Slope which I've rode street on but coming from a BMX background I do find it a little big for street, but couldn't imagine anything smaller for dirt jumping! I'm kinda leaning towards the 24 for the fun aspect. As it's still possible to ride pure trials, but not as well, I think it's something I can still do on the 24 I always did a lot of spiny stuff when riding street and the fact it's that slightly bit easier to to flick about, I'm thinking maybe it'll be that little bit easier to get back into
  3. Love these two... And my road bike. Just don't have a photo of that

    The sidekick was a 26, but I think my BMX side will come into trials riding for street, so I'm unsure whether the 26 will be too big for this??

    Decisions...

    Going back about 12 years I use to ride trials, on a DMR sidekick. Ride a lot of bikes still from downhill/trail, dirt jumping and road (yes lycra) I feel the need to get back into trials as its always been a passion My problem is... I've made my mind up on the bike I want, an Inspired Element 2016 What my problem is, is that I don't know whether to get the 26 or 24 version???? I use to ride a lot of street, came from a BMX background from my early years, but also, loved going to play in the woods/quarry for natural trials riding. Completely different to street, but just as enjoyable in my eyes All i want really is some advice really, will the 24 be as suitable for natural trials as the 26??? Will the 26 be suitable for street??? I checked the geometry and it's pretty similar I plan to run a rear HS33 and disc on the front for which ever size I go for Any advice from you experienced people????

    Avid BB5's...

    I meant BB7's... I thought they'd be alright, don't really want to spend more than I have to at the minute. Haven't rode trials for years, but it has always been my passion on two wheels, even though I dabble in everything. Sure I'm not the only one who does though haha
  9. Morning all... looking at buying an inspired fourplay fuse... trying to keep the budget down as much as possible as i have a few other bikes as well (enduro and dirt/street), bu i'm just wondering if the 180 BB5's are powerful enough for trials??? I'm 6ft and just over 12st I have the BB5's on my P Slope but they're only 160's... they're plenty good enough for dirt and i trust them down the skate park Any opinions??? Can i get away with not upgrading them??? Cheers Alan
