I think I need to do the same thing as Ive also got the same problem on the onza comp 09 but Im 6'2"

I ride with gloves as they are nice and comfy but I need some news ones as I'm using 661 comps and they wear out too quick.

im really stuck here as ive never ridden a stock but Ive ridden a mod; it feels small but its flickable. Is there a good stock for around £350-£400 that you guys could tell me about I could really do with some help. Cheers Sean

I am going to get my first trials bike soon and I know have seen an Onza T-Rex and I was wondering what you guys think of it? Is it a good bike to start on? Has it got any decent kit? Cheers Sean

I do a lot of mtb ing and I would ride street as there is not much natural riding around my area. I think a stock would be better for me then as I'm also tall. My mates mod does seem a bit small. So what are the good stock bikes out there for around £380-£400 (if I can keep saving my money) Cheers Sean

Hi guys I've been trials riding for 2-3 months now but I've been borrowing my mates and I've got £350 now so I thought its time to buy a bike. I dont know if I want a stock or mod yet so what is the best stock and mod I can get for £350. I'm going to ride a stock this weekend so I'll know which I prefer. Cheers Sean

Im going to get my first trials bike soon and I dont know wether to go for stock or mod but ill decide this weekend after trying a stock. I was just wondering what the best stock or mod is to learn on, my budget is around £380. I seen: Yaabaa 499 Onza Bird Onza Pro ONZa Hitman Mad Phase 1.1 1.2 1.3 If there are any other good ones please let me know. cheers Sean

thanks for the replys guys. I set up this thread cos I had no idea ( and still dont) of what some of the abbreviations that are sued on hear. so cheers Sean

I was just wondering how i get my rims grinded do i do it my self or go to a shop to do it?

Yes I totally agree with that, since I dont have my own trials bike yet I'm going to my mates and using his Onza Rip and when I cant I attempt to trials ride on my mountain bike. I can side hop very well on it about 1-2 feet but anything else is rock hard!!!

Thanks for the help. I agree mods are more flicky as my mates got one and I dont know if I suit a stock more so I'm gonna try one this weekend:D

Onza T-Rex I need to know quickly if this bike is any good as I might buy it as its cheap and has the things i need as a beginner

thanks for the help guys Im currently looking on ebay each day for bikes!

Ive been doing trials for about 2 months or so but I dont have my own bike yet and I'm using a mates. I can do small pedal kicks, bunny hops, track stands, side hops and hops on the rear wheel sideways and in the same place. Trials riding is GREAT!!! Sean

I thought I'd start a new thread to help new people like me who dont understand some of the slang and abbreviations almost everyone here uses. So if your new and don't understand something post it on here and hopefully some one will help you. I thought Id ask the first one does BB mean bottom bracket I think thats what it means but I'm not 100% sure Dictionary/Glossary BB- Bottom bracket Maggies- Magura brakes Mod- 20" wheel bike Stock- 26" wheel bike LBS- Local bike shop CS=Chain stays WB=Wheel base Geo= Geometry HS= Headset CK=Chris King CC=Creepy Crawler FFW = front freewheel IS = international standard DD = dual disc HS= headset HA = head-angle bump - bring up my post imo - in my opinion

there is only me an my mate sam harris who i know who do trials riding in royd and i only know sam bottemly who rides in hebden

thanks for the help guys, im currently using plimsoles and they give loads of grip

I am going to get my 1st trials bike soon and want a cheap one incase I break it a little. Ive had a good look on ebay and I was wondering what you guys think of me : 16 and 6' 1" getting a Diamondback Tekiya and upgrading it with a single spead kit from tarty? My mate rides an Onza Bird and his brother has a T-Pro but i think I would learn better on a stock as come from a mtb background. Any help would be greatly accepted Cheers Sean

I have been talking to a few of my mates about shoes whilst trialsing they say that the shoes depict how much grip you get off your pedals and I was wondering if this was true?

thanks for the comments guys I'm getting the Onza Bird soon so I will quickly buy some platform pedals from tarty bikes

I was just wondering which type of pedal is better for trialsing: caged or platform?

Nice one, I was going to bid for this one too but I didnt so now the search for a bike begins again.

Im going to buy my first trials bike soon and I like the look of the Onza Bird and the Diamondback Tekiya but the only thing I dislike about the Tekiya is the 8 speed at the rear and I want to change it to a single but I've been on tarty bikes and the single speed kits are quite cheap but im confused as to what 15T and 16T mean. Also do I only have to remove the 8 speed and th derailleur and add the single and the spacers? Cheers Sean

can you get hydraulic rims for the bird or doesnt it have the mounts????
