$IL3NT. Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) guys i have taken a picture of my bike but i dont think its really that good compared to everyone elses.I really wanna be able to keep my balance on the back wheel like i see on all the videos on the forums. u guyz make it look so easy i can only do about 10 bounces on the back wheel and even them are all over the place most of the time i can only do about 5 i waz also wondering is it easier to keep your balance on the bigger bikes with bigger wheels ?or mayby its because im not strong enough to control the bike ???im 15 years old, about 5 foot 8 and 8.8 Stone my bike weigh's around 27.4 Lb ( pounds )please could u send some pics of what you guyz ride and around how much it would cost. Mine waz £250 brand new. for me it waz expensive but i know its cheap for a trial bike.i really am takin this sport seriously and i wanna get good at it no matter how long it takesmayby ill be as good as you guyz in a 100 years lol. how long did it take for you all to get as good as you are and what age did you start trials ?

N.Wood Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Firstly, an s is closer to w and a than z. Therefore, please type 'was' not 'waz' Sweet. Secondly, I ride a Koxx stock bike. Thirdly, click the link in my sig for Trashzen for tips on riding trials. Fourthly (quarterly? now theres a quandary...), bigger wheels doesn't neccesarily mean easier.

adamtrials Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 That frame might have looked half decent with nice graphics and no seat stem...Trashzen.com is all you need to see what the moves are etc.The main question of this topic is asked so often and is so f**king trivial I'm not even going to bother...How is knowing how much other peoples bikes cost, weigh and look like going to help you be a better rider?And stop with the z's and the x's and the u's, it makes you look like a tard and you will be moaning in a few months when you are not validated.

basher Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 its just practice mate. some people progress at different rates so just keep pluging along and u'll get better as time goes on. as for the weight of your bike this doesn't really matter when your a beginner if its heavy as your not doing any big moves where the weight of your bike could hold you back.i ride a gu 20' long with profile on the back and xc on the front with zoo bar and stem and echo headset.

basher Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 fair enough. but once you start gettin weight consious of your bike wanting the lightest parts you'll just use this as a excuse when you cant do stuff. in stead of wanting a really light bike you should just acdept the bike you've got and ride it , its not always the ligtest bike that suits you. such as a t-rex, an unbelievably poperular frame but weighs a ton because of its strenght. instead of wanting a light bike look at the geometry to see if it suits you. theres no point in having a light bike but you dont like how it rides.

Mark W Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 $IL3NT, try tilting your bars further forwards. If they're nearer vertical, they're generally a bit nicer feeling on the back wheel. When you get more control you'll feel the difference, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
