Looks awesome

Nice What bikes are there on the 1's and 2'nd pictures ?

Amazing video and riding, I'm impressed Love the public interaction.

Sounds awesome, Thank you

All right, so bottom line. So the 26" Element will be fine for getting the basics of Street Trials ? I'm sorry for the nagging but It's just that I'm worried that I'll get wrong the bike and be turned off by trials, which I don't want to happen. Since It looks so much fun.

Sweet, thanks

Yeah I've noticed that, what's going to get more challenging then ? :/

Yeah ok, but I think I'll be going with this one fits my budget abit more snuggly

All right, then I will be ordering it in the end of the day. Thank you for showing interest and the help Is there anything else you'd recommend I'd buy ? Maybe replace a fragile part of the bike ? or equipment.

Well I see me wanting to do abit more of the "pure street trial" moves, and not such much of the BMX'ish spins and flicks.

Yeah a 26" wouldnt hold me back really would it ? Other than maybe spins and such, which I don't see me doing in the near future. I'm attracted to the "roll-ability" of the 26" for getting up on large surfaces and jumping between and such. But maybe I'm just totally lost Edit: I saw Tartybikes released a brand new bike now, the 26" Element ! Wouldnt that give me pretty much what I'm looking for ?

Oh all right ... so you think I'm going to have a much harder time with the 26" ? :/

Yeah, but I'm almost 7 inches or 20 CM taller than Danny I've talked to a Tartybikes employee and he said that if I want to ride a 24" comfortable I need to change the Stem. And that's going to change the geometry of the bike and make it harder. But since I've never ridden trials, I can only take peoples word for it

Sweet Cause I'm riding on a 29er now.

Yeah Alastair Clarkson ! Amazing rider, love him. Thanks, I'm sure I'm just beeing silly

Hi. I'm a new Trials rider that's going to get my first bike, and I've settled for a 26" street, for numbers of reasons including I'm quite tall. So Is there anyone here that's been riding 24" and changed to 26" ? Or is just riding a 26" right now ? I'm aware that I will lose abit of maneuverability on the 26" since It's a larger bike, but I really just want to do the traditional street riding. (Getting up on objects and some bunnyhops and backhops here and there) But will the difference between a 24" and 26" be huge ? I can't escape the feeling that the 26" will be very clumsy ? Or maybe It's just all in my head. I'm sorry but I'm just having some decision anexiety

Learning Trials brakeless as a beginner must be really challenging ! I'm impressed man, best of luck

I'd recommend watching some of thinkbikes tutorials They've got 11 more of them on their channel.

Edit: I didnt read close enough in the thread, sorry

I'm sorry for beeing unclear about what riding I'm going to do. Since I havnt ridden any trials yet I can't really know, but I think I'm going to do mostly street trials. And just dabble abit in pure trials So from what I've understood a 24" would be a pretty good middleground.

Sweet, but I've been looking around abit and the 26" seems abite pricey for me at the moment, so I'll see how it turns out But thanks for the great build.

Yeah cool, I would think that you could get away cheaper when building it yourself. But I should go with a 26" ? Since I'm quiet tall, roughly 194 CM. A 24" is to small ?

I'm sorry for the double post, but since I already edited the last post, I kind of have to I've been thinking, and what sort of basic Trials stuff should I be able to perform on my 29" XC ? Because I don't want to buy a Trials bike and then totally suck, I want to know what I'm getting into

Yeah I'm sure that you could get away cheaper if you're building it yourself, but I'm not really that great of a mechanic and I'm not really that aware of which parts is the best etc

Yeah I've checked him out! and the cheapest bike he's got is the Inspired Element 24", It looks pretty sweet, but It's a bit pricey Is it worth the price ? It feels like that 500£ bike with a few costumizations could be pretty sweet, but let's say I can spend about 1000£ on a bike, what would you suggest ? Is the Inspired Element any good ?
