joedaho Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hi all, I've dabbled in trials before, I did have an mid range Onza 20" for a few months that I really enjoyed riding until I had to flog it. It felt pretty wierd riding 20" wheels normally being on 26 or bigger on mountain/road bikes, but the maneuverability was great! Anyways, I'm starting to look for a replacement, but I'm not sure what wheel size to look for. What I'm looking for is the confidence / skills to be able to hop up stuff, as I didn't get very far with that before! What wheel size would suit me most 20/24/26? Cheers in advance...

PeanuckleJive Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 a different wheel size won't give you confidence, it'll give you bigger wheels. Try people's bikes and see what you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigdoug2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I say if you started on 20" and that felt good for you then stick to what you know. If not try something else. It's all down to personal preference you need to find your own way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I would have to say 20" well, most people find starting on them easier as there is less wheel in the way when you are trying to get up stuff. To be honest though it doesn't really make much difference in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick098 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 when i first got into to trials i started on a 20" onza t-vee (not the best thing going lol) and it was good, i enjoyed it, it was a good starter bike. Then i quite trials. a few months ago i decided to get back into it and got a 26" bike, it feels great and in just a few short months i can do everything i could and more. I don't know if thats because of the bike or because of me but i can say i like the feel of my 26". So my advice would be find something you like and try it, likely hood is you'll get used to it. Hope this helps and good luck Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
