andykezzy Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 chances are you would probably get quite a sore back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Long steerer, long/high stem and a highrise bar and you'll be sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 im 6´2" and I think Dani Comas is as tall as I am or slightly taller so I guess its ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm 6 1 and its no problem with the right front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315r Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Always the same question. Do you think that Dani Comas is too big for mods? Someday we will understand that stocks are not just for children and short arses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Look at getting a slightly lower bb frame. I'm fairly big riding a mod. I have a 95mm bb,180x35stem,30mm spacers and the trialtech high rise bars. I would like a little more height. Best bet would be meet up with a tall guy that rides and willing to let you ride there bike so you know what it feels like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I think at 6ft 4 you'd definitely look a tit on a mod! But maybe with a super long high stem & big risers it might feel ok ish. Why not a 24 or 26? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 sounds about right man to be honest i have a buddy whos 6 foot 7 and h rides it just fine just a bit different with his stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never get this reply, your riding a bike with no seat hopping around like a pogo stick, in other words you look a tit either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 how tall are you? 6 foot something. My lower back isn't 100% so I need higher bars so I can keep riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Height isn't the big factor IMO, it's just a question of weight/bulk and agility.My brother is 6'4" (at least) and he rides mods, whereas I can't make them do anything. If I started again I'd need a stock, and I'm 5'10". Difference is, I'm about 4 stone heavier than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 My friend rode a mod while being 2m tall. It looked a bit ridiculous, but he coped perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Mod or stock, your height doesn't matter. the distance from Pedals to grips will be roughly the same. Just make sure you go for a long frame, anything short and you'll put your back out. And it doesn't matter how you look on a bike, as I don't think ANYBODY rides a trials bike as a fashion statement.
