Hey guys, i need your help, i'm finally getting a trial bike. My friend is selling his monty 221ti trial bike, hes selling it to me at around 490 Euros, without brakes. So i'm wondering if its worth it ? Need help asap, Thanks alot in advance! Additional information : He used for less than a year.

I'm only 165cm tall, so do you guys think its better for me to get a mod ? I have got no friends whos into trial so i can't really try out any bikes at all.

Bump

Hey guys, do you think i should start off learning the basics of trial by buying a 20" first, then in the future when i get better, then change to a 24" ? Or should i just start off with a 24" ? I was thinking it might be easier to learn by starting off with a 20". Advice please. TIA!

My bad

Alright then, i shall not touch my MTB. I'll have a look this weekend at a bike shop which i heard sells trial bikes. Thanks for everyone's advices!

This is my current MTB, really not worth changing it to single speed ? http://www.khsbicycles.com/04_alite_300_07.htm

Oh okay then. So i should just get a simple bike first, then slowly upgrade from there ? Thanks guys!

So i can basically just get that one, then change it to single gear(i prefer single gear, i feel that the gears are too heavy ><) and start practicing n training ? Until i have the funds i could upgrade the brakes to magura or whatever and the tyres and rims then finally the frame ? It wouldn't not fit into the new frame right? Everything should fit ?

Unfortunately i don't know of anyone who rides trial, all my friends are riding MTB ): I don't really like mods actually, i was just thinking whether a 24" or a 26" If i get that Phase 1.3 to start off with, in the end i still have to spend another sum of money on changing the specs. So i was wondering if its better if i just get a better bike at least it could last longer without me having to change the gears to single gears etc etc, for eg. the phase 1.3 ? Idk i'm just confused, its so hard to describe >< And i don't want to spend another sum of money on changing the frames and stuffs when i get better unless its spoiled as i find that its quite a waste of money. I'll have the mentality like " i should've just bought a better bike in the first place " kind of thing, you know ? ARGH~!

Oh, now i get it. But its too heavy for me i think. I'm quite a smallish guy, around 163-165 cm. So i'm also afraid if i get a stock, it will be a tad too big for me, will it ?

T-rex have gears ? I have to change the gears to single speed? Wouldn't that be almost changing my MTB gears to single speed too?

Hey guys! I need your help! Should i be saving up for a stock bike with seats or without seats ? OR Should i be saving up for a 24" bike? OR Should i just convert my moutain bike gears to a single gear ? I was thinking of the first option, however i don't know whats the cheapest for a stock bike with/without seats. The second option is a bit too expensive for me to afford atm, which means i might have to wait till end of year when i'm free to work.Moreover i'm new to trails so if i get such an expensive bike to learn how to do all those stunts, all the parts will definitely get screwed up pretty much, right? The third option, i was wondering if its even a good choice to do that. My MTB have suspensions at the front.Even if i convert it, would it be a good bike for me to train the stunts with? PS: I know I've asked alot of times, but still,i don't know which is the better/best way. So please tolerate with me and all the qns and help if you can. Thanks!

Thanks. Hes not wearing any eye protection. lol

What you mean by that?? I need a special tool to do that or ?

Actually, what do people mean by 'grind' ?? I don't really get it. So basically, i should just get any 'silvered-rims' ?

So magura hs33 wouldn't 'brush off' the chrome rim?

Ah, thanks for the replies! So its possible to use a 26" tube in a 24" wheel ? What if i'm going to use a magura Hs33 brakes at the rear? Should i just use a silver rim?

I thought he was using 24" wheels? Why did his official website states that he uses 26" tubes? If i'm considering of getting a chrome rim, but my rear brake is not a disc brake, would it be pointless to get a chrome rim in the first place ?

Sorry for starting another topic >< I'm very confused as to which is the mod and which is the stock. I tried googling but was still confused. http://www.freewebs.com/huttonbiketrials-2...20xtp%20mod.jpg And Which is the stock, which is the mod ?

Oh, i get you. However if i keep this MTB, i have to save up a pretty long time before i can get a trial bike ): I'm at a loss at what should i do now, convert the MTB or keep it.

Not as ugly as you describe it as

The first vid the frame is 26" ?

Yeah, to practice stunts and stuffs. How am i going to do it with all those gears?
