mtbjosh Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Two of my friends both ride onza T-rex's and when they get on a longish mod, they throw them about and get over things that they would usually struggle to do on a 26". They are always playing on my mates Echo Team 20" (amazing bike). But they are adamant that they want to stay 26". It all depends on your riding style, and you can do certain things better when on different size bikes. tis your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sounds to me a lot like your getting confused between what is important and what gains you status.Think about it for a while, which do you ENJOY riding. If you go out on your 26 do have lots more fun than when you rode your mod? On the flip side did you love riding your mod and now you hate 26.Don't be controlled by what you ride 'best' it's not about back wheeling the highest or gapping the furthest it's about having fun. If your comfortable on a bike you will enjoy it.People don't ride 24inch bmx set up because they can gap 12feet, it's because it's the most fun!Think about it.
