Chandler Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Onzas are good starter bikes and you could always ride 24" ...Onza Zoot is quite a good one to start off with, also Zip is a pretty sweet starter mod (I dont like T-Pro), and T-Rex starter stockbest idea would be to come out with us in Notts and try them all out......p.s. keep posting up and ull soon be in the validation station lol Edited October 9, 2008 by Chandler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echorider Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Hi i was in the same situation confused about mod and stock.I tried a few different bikes.As i am well built and tall.I choose stock as i did'nt fit on a mod.It depends on your height and which you prefer.Tom.P Edited October 9, 2008 by Echorider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only about 5 an half foot and I rode 20" up until the start of the year and now I ride 26" and I find it much easier. But 20" is still fun because you can just fling them anywhere.

zoo 06 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 hi my name is rob and ive been doing trials for 2 months and ive got a zoo python 06 (20") which is very light and easy to chuck around and jump off stuff i had a 20" because its easyer, well i think it is. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMeek Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 All depends on your height to be honest. Bigger guys ride 26" as it's more suited to them. Most beginners start with 20" as it's easier to manuver and therefore makes the rider more confident. In my opinion, you should start with a 20" as it's easier to get to grips with the basics of trials. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps!Pretty much what he said.You just need to ride a few mods and a few stocks, and THEN make your final decision as it's hard/wrong for us to make a decision for you.

Mtchell Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 20 or 26...i went for 20 as my mate insisted it was easier to learn on.....he was right ive progress pretty far in a few week only problem is i get chronic back ache at the start of the ride as i,m jus shy of 6ft but i do find it ez to throw the bike around being so tall on a small bike and i reckon on 26er i would of felt a little unstable trying some of the moves i do ...hope it helps ....M- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack14366 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 hi mate , really its personal preference on what size bike to ride , personally i think 20" are nicer to ride as i feel like i can throw it around more , but then again I'm only small !

hdmackay Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hi,I just got a 20" (T-Pro) and I LOOVE it! I would recommend at least starting with 20" but at the end of the day it is whatever you prefer.Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps!well it depends on how you feel on it cos im 6ft 5'', 14 stone, and i like riding 20'' 'cos i can throw the bike around and feel like i have full control, i use to have a DDG shooter and i didnt feel as good on it. so like the guy said go down notts and meet them and see on how it feels.

javzi monty Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 it depends on how tall you are and which one you prefer in your own mindhave a shot off a few of your mates bikes and see if your back hurts or not or is it to short or too long etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
