Ewannnn Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well i started on an onza t-pro and now that ive learnt the basics I have started to like it... but after riding my brothers 26" and a few other peoples im starting to want a 26" now, But just chose what best suits you and what is most comfortable. Most(and i say that because someone is bound to say but i ride mod and im tall) tall people ride 26" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazasmith Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 i would have to say "26" because this is the bike i learned on and ive come on quit well i think in the last yearthey r a lot more forgiving "26" to "20" i think but it personal preferenceup to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revell-Bikes Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 26"s have advantages-more press coveragecan tap waaaayyy much higher that 20"seasier to overcome obsctalesand stronger!and more brit pros ride them so if youre very british, original, go for 26"Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the judge Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Try out other people's bikes and just go with which ever feels most comfortable.........as long as it's a 26" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Not a biased opinion here, but stocks are so much better than mods. bring it on.Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipkickbs Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 nah Ian mods are muchos better ive ridden both and i enjoy the chuckability of a mod more Ben Yea they are fun, but i'm 6 ft 3, so a mod is so flicky that i might throw it and break somebodys eye. Mods are probably easier to learn on as they are so maneuravable, But stock (on average) are longer and so are good for most things beginners will do like rolling up things etc. Have a go on a few of each and see which you feel more comfortable with (obviously don't go on a pimped out python and compare it to a raleigh activator) At the end of the day, everyone knows stocks are better than mods, but its up to you which you choose Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
