Yukon Hopper

Ah! Thanks a bunch. Good to get some clarification, too. Looking forward to making an order at some point. The Rise is at the top of my short list now. (No pun intended!)

Aaaaaand the Comas has horizontal dropouts. There was a time I'd be fine with that, but given the option, I prefer the dropouts on the Extention with the through axles. Hmmm. Well, I have time to decide, still. Unless I find a nice used bike.

More food for thought! Now I'm leaning towards the Comas, but will see what Clean offers for shipping to Northern Canada.

Good call. I think both will be order-only where I live for parts, though.

Hello all. Haven't ridden trials for about 15 years, but lots of MTB/Fatbike/BMX since then. I'm kinda set on treating myself to a new mod. I had a 2005 Norco Evolve stock bike 15 years or more ago. Was doing great until I tried sticking a bar end through my sternum. LOL. Anyways, I'm in Northern Canada. Currently Yellowknife, but moving to Whitehorse this May. Graduating college late in life, and starting a new career. Pretty much nobody rides bicycle trials here, but a few moto riders. So, no test rides. I want to ride natural obstacles, and some urban stuff. Love watching UCI Worlds and other comps. That's the style I like. I love my 20" Race BMX's. Small but long. Twitchy but nimble and responsive. I'm likely looking at ordering from tartybikes, as I've been binge-watching Ali-C, and The Shin Dig, and both seem to like them. They look like a decent lot to me, too. The two I'm currently deciding between are the Extention Rise 20 and the Comas 1008 Entry Pro. Which would you suggest, and why? I'll add, I was a paid bike wrench for over a decade, and still have a healthy pile of tools. Both bikes are probably close to my max budget. I've considered used, but the well is dry over here, it seems. At least on the common sites. Maybe I'll poke around here a bit, too. Thanks for letting me ramble on. I'm pretty stoked to get back into trials, and getting better than I was. Aaron
