how do i edit that post? there isnt an edit button as with other posts I've done. Don't want this to be deleted but canny work out how to edit it. and i see about the mod and stocks. i ought to change my ride info then.

incidentally, if anyone has a trials bike they want to sell at a decent price pm me.

whats a stock bike, in relation to wheel size? obviously i know what the difference is between a stock bike and a modded one... [im new remember hehe]

yeah thats fair enough. i dont mind the cuts and resulting scars, it means you have something to show for the initial pain etc... i think i used some veggies once come to think of it. they were a bit on the small side cos they belonmged to my ex but they seemed to be ok. any ideas about the wheel choice btw?

true. im not so fussed about the sweat, more the fact that they might restrict movemenyt/ get in the way. the shinnies i have at the mo are some pro- tec bmx jobbies which are huge and must be designed for arctic riding cos they heat up real quick.

sweet, cheers guys. RE the max max i dont actually own one but they are damn cheap [ive seen them for £200] and thought they might do as an all-rounder. I used to use my 16" coyote dual bike for trials but yeah, that one got nicked. The only bike i own now is my giant glory, however being a DH bike i cant really do much in the way of trials on it[hasnt stopped me from trying though]. ok so the verdict is to buy a dedicated trials bike. what wheel size would you guys suggest? i'm used to 26's and feel most comfortable on them [hate 24s] however many people have told me to get a bike on 20"s. and RE the shinnies it would seem that the veggies are the way forward, cheers for clearing that one up. Thanks for the replies.

OK so im just getting into this proper trials stuff. I used to have a hardtail about 6 months ago but that was stolen. I managed to do back hops and endo whippy things but thats about it. I really want to get properly good at it, however i have some questions:first off, could i get away with using the commencal max max for trials use, and also, does anyone ever use shinguards, I'm basically after a set of lightweight guards that wont get in the way. I have never seen anyone wearing shinnies. seems crazy to me. Cheers, BBJ
