  1. I'm just getting back into riding (badly) after about 22 years out. Local to Leamington Spa, let me know if you live around here and fancy a ride. D
  2. Ha, I've just worked out he's the 'adam' 🤣 Nice, loving the blue Thanks for all the input, giving me lots to think about, will probably try out a 26" and see how I get on.
  3. Thanks for the tips Brettoll, i'm based in leamington spa, I'm on the hunt for local riders! I had considered trying to find a zero to build up, but I'm partly excited to see how the tech has progressed. I think I might have the same struggle with 24", completely different body shape etc, but hard to say without trying, switching between my stumpy and my old 26" already feels like riding a BMX, I'm not sure how well I would cope with switching between wheel sizes all the time. Is the Alias 24"? do you know if the hex comes as a frameset or full bike only, i've not seen the frame only online? Thanks for the comments, like you say I need to try them out and see how I get on. Have you ridden a hex?
  4. Thanks Adam, what do you ride?
  5. Hi All, I'm a middle aged man planning to form my mid-life crisis around giving trials another go, not expecting much, but if I can learn to peddle hop again I will be chuffed! I rode trials back in the 90's, my last proper trials bike was an Orange Zero when they first came out, with hope 4 pots, man I loved that bike! I used to ride street, didn't take part in competitions or anything. I currently ride a mullet stump jumper on trails and while it's fun, I'm always drawn to the trials moves more than any kind of jumps. I'm assuming I would be best suited to a 26" trials bike as it's what I'm used to and isn't to much of a leap from my trail bike. How do people think I would get on with a 24" bike, would the difference be to much or would I get used to it? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks D
