Get a 24" then best of both iv been told small like 20" and has gears like 26".
20" not to go for distance 5 mile took me around 20 Min's and 15 mile took me just over an hour.
26" is best for distance mate.
Hope that helps.

I don't think there are any main advantages to 20" or 26" it is just personal i ride both its easy on 20" and 26" just needs you to put more power down.
-
Hi most start out on a 20" because its easy and faster to learn on iv been told i started out on a 26" it was hard at first but i got there and still ride 26" now and again but i ride 20" more these days.
I'm 5'10" and ride both

Come on there has got to be more of you out there with a party trick

End o's don't count as you can do them by accident.
Mine was a bunny hop i remember it like it was yesterday just riding along and sore a driveway entrance a little curb and PULL yes i made it. Iv been back to where the driveway is since GOD its small its about an inch high can not believe i thought that was hard back then compared to what i do now but good days good days.

I'm guessing your forks are 4 bolt you can buy an M5 thread repair kit (Heili Coil) on ebay i got one and fixed my frame now its stronger it should work on your forks to its just drill, tap and fixed.
-
Have you worked out what you like yet.
-
Try e-mailing them again and ask steve if your lucky you could get some free stuff other wise if you don't mind just leave it.
-
Yes it will just swap a cross you may need a new chain or some links and your forks may not fit if they are to short but thats about it.

Iv got a czar 07 its a go frame tarty bikes has some iv just checked.
-
Look on ebay iv seen onza's, da bomb's and mission's on there for around that price plus others you could be Lucky.
-
I'm running a Tensile on my crank and it works fine but if you get one make sure you get the right one as they come in front and rear they do fit the same though.
-
I sure an Onza that looked allot like it today it was a t-bird or it just said bird on it
-
Here's them pictures of that bright yellow bike i made. What do you think ?
-
It reminds me of in old style Onza if i remember right its about 7 years ago but i also remember a Da Bomb that looks a bit like that it was about 7 years ago too i think
-
Hi 20" (Mod) are best to start on most people get on with them fast 26" (Stock) most people find them to big to throw around. 20" Onza's are a good make to start with most riders started out with one or there is Da Bomb and Mission all make both 20" and 26" so look around see what fits your price.
-
I ride with a half link on my czar 07 with snail cams it works fine i just looked on BMX sites got one cheap.
-
If anyone else pulls off my 180 Gap Back (180 GB) let me know please iv done it on two walls but it was not easy all most broke my leg but i did it.

Practice, Practice, Practice
That is what you do took me about a day to start hoping on back wheel and a month to master it so i can go back-wards, for-wards and side to side but you will get there we all do. Plus check out www.trashzen.com iv heard is very good
-
Look out for the blue ones they are Strong and last longer than the other cheap ones out there. If you can only get hold of a couple of blue's put them on top of your stacks of pallets hope that helps
-
I did a frame bright yellow and made a sticker kit for it ill see if i can find some pictures of it
-
iv been using it for about 15 ish years. Set your brake up well and a bit of tar and you can just about do anything i think

Apart from wheel size, seat poll and forks the parts are swappable between bikes.
