  1. cheers mate iv been thinking more about getting a 20" because on most of the videos iv seen they have 20" and they look pretty easy to use and i have also thought about getting a 26" when i have got really used to the 20"

    Cheers, also your less likey to smack your nuts on a 20" ;):D

  2. Ok I'm pretty new to this trials game, and probably shouldn't be so excited about this, but I've a big grin on my face.

    When I got my bike a few days ago, I was sure it was broken as it just wouldn't do what it was told. A few evenings mucking about and I'm well pleased with the result.

    I'm sure it looked ragged as hell, but it felt good!

    I do have one question for someone more experienced.....my bike is a diamondback kabuki mono. Apparently its got an 1150mm wheelbase. Looking at everything else in the world of trials this seems like supertanker length. I haven't actually measured it yet, and we're moving home and the measuring tape is in Glasgow and I'm in York at the moment, so not likely to do so. But if it is true, is this going to cause me problems with learning? Any advice would be greatfully received.

    If your new, having an awesome bike doesnt really effect it, just keep practising on that until u get better then 6 months down the line change if you want

  3. Right, I've been riding for 3 months now and currently have the old 2002 onza t bird (grey and blue) 20"

    I'm looking to get a new bike because I can only do 1 pedal kick on my onza, yet I have been on my mates stock and can do 2, not a big difference but its an improvement. I am also about 5'9". been looking at the phase 1.2 on tartybikes, does anyone own one and is there a better bike for the same price. I have also been told that the reason I can do more pedal kicks on that stock because it has a higher bb than my old onza

    Cheers.
