Easier To Learn On...20" Or 26"

[spear667]

Hey. I am new to the trials riding scene, but am keen to join. However, I have mates who ride and have been riding for a little while now, so i wont to know what would be the easiest bike size to learn on so that i can catch up and be at their ability in the quickest time.

I have no personal preference over the 20" or 26" wheeled bikes as I find them just as easy to ride, but I just want to know what would be quickest to learn and progress on.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved. Thanks

20 " bcoz they feel lighter under foot and feel easyer to manouver (spell)

No one can really say that one size of bike is easier to learn on than another, It's basically down to how you feel riding the bike. Have a ride on a 20" and 26" and see how you feel after.

hey

i would get a 20" just because from what i have seen and riden they are easyer to if you want to say "throw around"

but thats just my opinion.

p.s at the moment im riding a 26"

I have enjoyed learning on my 26 inch bike, also it may just be me but my riding feels smoother on a 26". Admittedly I have only had a small hour long ride on a 20" bike, but I have been learning on a 26" and have not had any problems. I am 6 foot 2 though so I guess if you are smaller you might have more trouble with a 26.
