  1. Thanks Simpson! I see what you mean! The question for me is whether I want a pure trials bike or not. I will try all three sizes out and see which one suits me best! That you're of same size as us, and recommend a 26" is a good bit of info for us! Especially since you've been doing trials for some time. We live in Sweden (gothenburg/stockholm). I'll keep an eye out for trials forums and such in the area. I guess in the end, as a first bike the diffrence isn't going to be massive. Which probably means we're going to want to buy a new one eventually which is why we'll buy second hand!
  2. Thanks guys! Really helpful replies. I'll check those product video guides when product questions pop up I got interested in a 24" because it seems more all-round. I guess we got what we needed here! Next step: buy a second hand 24" bike, and get busy! I'll be around!
  3. Thanks for the replies! what exactly is the '20"', is it the size of the wheels? I understand there are three diffrent ones: 20", 24" and 26". In rough, what are the diffrent sizes recommended for and why? I would be very interested in knowing this
  4. Hi! First of all, we're sorry for asking what's probably already written somewhere. We found this () which was helpful information, but we've still got some questions: We're two enthustiastic optimists determit to learn the magic of trial biking. The first thing we want to do is ask some pros about the sport and what would be recommended for us. We've bought nothing yet because quite frankly we're not sure what to get. We've looked at some bikes, OnZa Spyrogyra and OnZa Hitman fits our budgets. What we are looking for is basically a bike fit for our units, i.e. length and weight. And we're absolute beginners so I guess we don't need the hardcore stuff yet. More something to learn the basics and get our interest blooming. I guess the rest (as to choose whether we want a rub-a-dub, rim 26" something with or without a sadel etc.) is about flavour(?) I can also say that I personally (Fred) am very interested in going off road. Take the bikes into the woods to a few tricks on a log, find a nice stone somewhere to jump off Doing some climbing and jump onto things. But also doing it in a street environment. Like riding off kerbs and benches etc. Mattias is also interested in street. Fred weight: 80kg (176 lbs), length: 186 cm (73 inches) Mattias weight: 95kg (209 lbs), length: 198 cm (78 inches) What would you recommend? The more precise you can be the better for us! But remember, we don't really know the terms and slang of trial like you do, so please try to keep it simple Thanks in advance!
