Frempt92 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hey.I want to start trials, and I can't really decide if I should go 20" or 26".I'm about 6ft 1in tall (not sure if that is an issue)I'm hoping to either sell my Specilised P-One or swap for something.Anyone got a suggestion as to what is the way to go?Cheers.

Cookyboy Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If i were you i would go out on a ride and try out a few peoples bikes to see what you like, you should soon be able to make a decision on which you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVMK Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi mate, Im 6ft 2in and I ride a 26 inch onza limly2.I have only been riding about 2 months myself and i brought a onza t-wee 20inch to start with but found that was too small for me due to my height so i brought an onza t-rex which is a 26inch and forund i had alot more control on with that bike so i would say go for a 26inch but try to find some people riding around and ask if you can have a go, see what suits you best!Hope that helps!

I've already tried 20" and I quite liked it.Anyway I'd best be getting off to bed see you all tommorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran24 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi mate, Im 6ft 2in and I ride a 26 inch onza limly2.I have only been riding about 2 months myself and i brought a onza t-wee 20inch to start with but found that was too small for me due to my height so i brought an onza t-rex which is a 26inch and forund i had alot more control on with that bike so i would say go for a 26inch but try to find some people riding around and ask if you can have a go, see what suits you best!Hope that helps!You bought ( no 'r') 3 bikes in two months, seriously?When I was in the same situation as the OP I couldn't go around trying out bikes as no-one round here rides trials, instead I based my choice partly by seeing what type of trials I'd be mostly likely to ride. I don't remember which are more suited to which style of riding, maybe someone who's been riding longer could explain it, but I chose mod as I thought I'd be doing more TGS style riding and because I'd been riding a BMX for so long that I'd gotten use to the smallness of a mod.

bikeperson45 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 You bought ( no 'r') 3 bikes in two months, seriously?That's what I though, and he ended up with a Limly!Yea, I wouldn't get the t-bird, it's probably better to save for a whil and get something a bit better so parts dont brake etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frempt92 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Too late.I got a T-Bird with Maguras, for £150 I can't stress enough that I can't spend anymore money!I'm trying to save up to buy a car when I'm 17, and I can't afford to keep spending £300+ on Bikes, Laptop, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
