random Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 It's all up to the indervidual. It's also to do withthe height and strength of the rider mind. My self it has to be Stock 26'' Long 1085mm+ Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Dave Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 26" (Y) :blink: ;) 20" is ok too if your small ;) haha yeah. midgets on 20's and giants on 26's. i personally think that 26 is the best to ride but 20's are cheaper to run. for the length of the frame...it all depends on your style and the type of things you do on your bike.

Mitch A Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I ride MOD because im short but i find stock fun to ride because its harder. Its all preference and height in some cases. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i like riding both i find mod easyier to throw around but i like the way stock rides personal perference like people have said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EwaNzz Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i agree with mackey, 20" are fun to ride and easy to throw about but 26" are ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I prefered my stock for taps and gaps, love my mod for some natty and sidehops, getting there with the gaps i suppose. both mod and stock can be uber fun (Y) I like a little mess on a stock now and then :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 If i could ride mod properly i would give it a crack cos it is fun to ride. For me personally i find stock better, i guess i'm used to bigger bikes now having always rode stock. As for length, i'd say 1100 for people that are 5'9" and above, 1080 otherwise, but again thats just me bein all uci, if you into a more biu style and like your street moves then something shorter would suit you.

zoo p Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 stock definitely, i just cant seem to put any power into mod because i keep hitting myself on the bars, but than again i am 6ft 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i think that with stock you dont have to be as accurate. for example on rails you can land slightly short but hold it whereas on a mod it would be harder to hold.

chris222pher Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 well im 6ft 2 and like a short mod. i just find it so monouverable and more fun to ride, i also like to go to bash so mod suits that. i rode my mates bt raven 5.0 and i just felt weird and i couldnt get on with it.

moe Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 my opinion is 20 inch this cos it looks like more natural kinda and 26 looks sort of bulky so yeh its cos it looks better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 The funniest thing about this topic is that this "kid" offered sponser ship to everyone on the forum and lanky_ricky spent hours and hours preparing a sponser ship vid. before the dead line and then this "kid" makes a whole thread about if 20 or 26inch is better thought id share it made me laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewhite Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 hey personally i recon 20" is better as they are lighter and easyier to ride. i think that 20" also look cooler and ride alot better but its all down to personal preference joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
