eskimo Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm currently using a Hifi 145 x 25. I think something a tad shorter but just as high would make it easier. But still the balance point is so far up (i do mean up rather than back). It's like being in the clouds and it just doesn't want to go any higher than a foot out of the manual. I don't why the Toxsin was awesome for manuals, it may be my memory though?As for 24"ers, they are too 'streety' if you like, i don't really need something like that to be honest, just something that gives me a little more flickablity.

abtrials Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) simple rowan john's bike with him on it LOL manual machine (hence the name)but to be honist short frame low bb, and shortish stem with rise and riser bars usualy does the job, also brake with no grind usualy helps a fair bit.......the short pitbull 07 would be good im sure Edited February 27, 2008 by ABTRIALS1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehukatti Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 its skill , not bike.then why not ride trials with a full suspension bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Tom* Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Short chainstays, shortish stem & a high front end, depending on how you like the bike to feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thomson Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 then why not ride trials with a full suspension bike?Haha, can see your point but that's a bit of a drastic jump. Comparing trials frames with each other is a bit different to comparing two completely different styles of bikes, trials frames (generally) only have relatively subtle differences between their geometries etc, as opposed to full sus frames and trials frames which are pretty much incomparable.No?
