bunny !!! Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 ive been looking to get a trials bike for some time now, and im just not sure on what size to get !!! ive been riding bmx for about 2 years , and also have a jump bike that i mess around on. but i want to get into trials riding. i dont want to get a mod, purely because i already have a bmx with small wheels. i have seen some videos of the because 24" (a trialsy 24") and it looks like a easier bike to ride than a stock, would it be easier to hop, and through around than a stock? if you dont know what it looks like than check it out here http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=11125&category_id=50 i'm also quite a short guy only 5'5" really need some advice on this!!! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havnt long been riding again so im not great at side hops but i can do 4 pallets on it so far. i find as long as you have a highish front end its easy enough.

Ashes Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Get a cheaper bike to start with ....... Its a bad idea to get one like that because of all the crashes and damage your going to do to it when first learning the moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bad idea to get one like that because of all the crashes and damage your going to do to it when first learning the moves. if he wants one and can afford one then there is no reason why he shoulndt get one. Look at post 5 on this thread http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=150754 Edited May 11, 2010 by Franksx2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
