Hi there,
I have read through a few threads and I wondering what is the difference between Mod bike and Stock bike?
I am a bit confused
Max
mod have 20inch wheels and stock 26inch wheels
-
I was just wondering whatever happened to the likes of, megamo, brisa, pashley and other makes that popped up along the way like vario and cresent and what about the bigger brands e.g cannondale, giant, planet-x doing trials bikes? and riders like, eddie tongue, jj gregrowikz, you dont hear much about team M.A.D anymore, and the guy, cant remember his name but had the Ti planet x frame, and what happened to martin haywes?
a bit of a rant but just somthing to think about? is there anymore u can think of?
-

very nice, looks a beaut, dito with the red pedals!!! looks like you have an excess of front hose? or is that with the HUGE piccy?
-
my first frame were a hadsome dog rockstar with double cable disks, served me well, could manual it like a beast!
-
we have abit of one where we live, just be persistant with the council, get a petition filled. be prepared to get involved and work for it, go with ideas on how to raise money for it, things like putting on demos, dont just complain and demand. get local papers involved, get as much backing as you can.
thats what we did and it worked, also be patient -
that is the dogs!!! scratched it yet? lol
-
yea you got to improvise, theres alot more to trials than just big drops and sidehops. there must be a supermarket or some factory near by? sometimes if you ask nicely and give them the puppy dog eyes they let you ride on them or have them.
-
yea definately get one, well worth it!
-
how the hell did you ride it?
-
chav it up and tck them into your sock
-
depends on the weather, gets a bit drafty in shorts in the winter
-
if you got a good grind there shouldnt be a need for tar. it works when you get right but too much and it sticks not what you want doin a drop, and the opposite, its deadly in the wet.
-
they've been tryin to do that round here for years, always taking names. they've put railings up to try and protect stuff, when will they learn, they build it we'l ride it!
-
koxx browns, got it in one, best on a grind i feel.
-
forks, brake lever and cracked one frame.
i have done fair well with breaking things
-
I ride stock but... i'm thinking about buying a mod? just fancy a change, and i dont really want to ride a long 26. One thing mods are more fun.
-
I live in Barnoldswick, sometimes ride colne, yea whats the riding like in burnley?
-
What is the wheel base on them? I have been thinking about getting a mod? can't decide though?
-
How come you have no tensioner or anything?! the chain looks quite slack, does it slip alot or come off?
-
I would say maguras on the rear, alot more power and less maintainance. also with a solid booster like a echo booster (selectbikes.com) you will really notice the difference
-
id say, mentallity=70%
technique=5%
strength=5%
balls=20%`
id say its all in the once u've learned all the move and that and strength is not a big factor, i'm a pretty strong guy off my bike, but i cant throw my bike around that well, and size is definatley nothing to do with it!

any pics or anything?
