smelly joe Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 i ride a mod mainly because im a shortass and i dont like the feel of big bikes, i find mods much easier to balance on and also much easier to chuck about than a stock.

Dan6061 Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I ride Mod. When I started I was too small to handle a stock. And now they just feel weird (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aff1e Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 hi stocks are big n bulky but mods are lite n easy to throw about thanks tom (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I ride stock, mods are too easy to ride, might as well just walk over stuff (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Actually with the wheels being bigger taht means that stocks would get over stuff easier and mods are actually fun because you can do stuff more streety well if you have a short bike, which I would advise as if you have mainly street whats the point of a long bike it will be harder to get up stuff. toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock trials the real sport Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 basically people who ride mods just cant handle 26" wheels. 20" is much more easier and as someone else sed "u mite as well walk over thing" i agree 26" is 4 real men. Still i do like 2 c a few mods here and there but stock is a lot harder i dont blame peopke for taking the easy way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I ride mod, loadsa people on here ride mods (if i hear some one praise a t-pro one more time....) whats wrong with riding mods? also why do people say mods are for short people? i'm 5ft 10 and i've got a t-bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) i've ridden 26" wheels for the past *counts on fingers (Y) * three years but the first trials bike I got was a 20". Mainly because I'm a slow learner but also because stock bikes within my price range look naff imo, just don't like the look of them. Aren't mod bikes flickier as well? Or is that just short bikes in general? Edited November 5, 2005 by ManxTrialSpaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 (edited) It's a lot mixed on this forum but i think most people ride stock on this forum (Y) rickyb I would really suprise me if most rode stock, the majority of beginers recently have been opting for mods.

Chai swapped his python copy for staples' 1100 odd kot for a few weeks and rode it like a god! If you give me your bike for a few days I bet I could ride it aswell as I do my mod.

Ross Gardner Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i ride mod beacuse they are light but i like the look of quite a few stock bikes e.g Echo Hifi and Zoo! Pitbull. Cherz, Ross (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
