Saracen Kid Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 iam changing from 20'' to 26 '' what bikes do you lot recomend ive only got £200 so hats around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dktrailrider Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 If I were you i wouldn't change. when i had my stock I found it easier to ride my mates mod. Mods are a lot easier to monover and lighter.Hope this helps.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 if you are going to get a 26 i would keep your 20 so if you don t like it you can sell it on and you can still ride hope i ve helped josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) mate, imo you should stick with a t-pro (im guessing you ride a t-pro from your profile... and also that your 12/13?) its probly best for you if your fairly short... depending on what you buy some stocks can feel really long and heavy compared to a mod... use your money to set up your t-pro with some decent bits... unless its cracked which in that case you should buy a new frame... i dunnoooooo its too late and im tired... hope iv helped in some wierd way...

chris mac Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 its the worst idea ever! my mates t-rex feels so heavy and unmanuverable. its the worst choice u will ever make. mods are the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXsteri Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I've just made the change the other way, 26in >20in and im having loads more fun on the 20in Stick with it imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willdasexybeast Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 if u want a 26 inch bike 4 under £200 its best to try and grab a deal off of ebay otherwise youll only b able 2 buy a shitty new bike.will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatprodude Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 if you've got like £200 would it not be better trying a longer bike than the t pro then see if you want to spend the money on a long frame because it will be more like a stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracen Kid Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 the reason i want to change is because i was riding my mates 26'' and i was more comphty on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracen Kid Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) i was thinking of this but i found it for £199.99sarcen bike what do you think?and above i ment comfy Edited May 20, 2006 by t-pro kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom-trials Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 my mate adam(watto) is good on a 26" but hes always one step ahead of himself on my mod i just cant keep him off it and seening this i have come to the conclusion that sticking to mod would be a good choice and a good saver of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yes, it isn't really a great choice to swap, im 15 nearly 16 and i find it hard to do some of the stuff i can do on my mates mod (tom-trials)and im a fairly strong lad. So i have came to the decision to get rid of my stock and invest in a 221 pr or alike. So my advice is to keep with your mod bike . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracen Kid Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) yes but i want to change!!!! so what do you think of the sarcen Edited May 21, 2006 by t-pro kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 if your wanting to ride for a looong time, then going 26" is a good idea as it helps tune your skills for the future, but if you cant see yourself riding for more than a year or two, stick with the mod as you improve quicker, but maybe not improve your skill for the long run.I am afriad I cant comment on the saracen as I have never ridden one, but for £200 I would be looking on ebay for 2nd hand ones, you can quite often pick up oldskool bikes that people "think" are no good any more but are infact still very good bikes.
