Kugliim Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I do quite a bit of freeriding and want to improve my technical skills. I used to have a trials bike but had to sell it when I moved to New Zealand.Any one got any other recommendation on bikes? Are Mods easier than Stock? I'm only swaying towards mods as I don't want the derailleurs in the way (or have a singe gear). What do you think?Peace Edited April 2, 2008 by Kugliim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PocketRocket Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I had an onza t-raptor (as it was all I could afford at the time).I like the feel of the 26" size as it's the same size and feel to my scott freeride. I've moved house since then and my back yard still fits in some pallets but there's not that much room for maneuvering around, so was considering a Mod (as it's cheaper than moving house ot one with a bigger yard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 His budget is under 200 pound atm (i read his other thread) like i said in the other thread mods are cheaper in the short and long term, and plus easier to learn on however stocks are more practical for cycling to the area your practicing on. IMO get a mod then just upgrade it then when youve spent abit on it maybe swap it for a stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketRocket Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 cheers guys for the advice.I was thinking the same about mods, they do seem cheaper to if things go wrong or I brake it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
