gianttrials Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 This is a pointless argument, i've seen amazing stuff done on both stocks and mods so no one person can really say. Personally i ride both 20" and 26" and feel they compliment each other. Thats my opinion, doesn't mean i'm right though like some people think they are. Just ride what you want and get on with it. It doesn't really matter aslong as you like it. Hope this helps.Ben g WST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 CLS have moved to stock.Then sold his stock moved back to mod then quit.Stock is a real man's bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam-cahill Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) I have a 20" and love it but I had a go on a 26" at the weekend and liked the feel of it when you were on the back tier.So i would say it depends what your going to do on.If your just going to ride street then get a 20" or a 24"and if your going to do comps go for a 26" or a realy good 20".Its realy up to you and what you feal comfortable on.

fyfey Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I prefer 26", I think they look better and are better to ride! I can't ride 20" for shit! legs are too long, look like a twat! I can see they are good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wethepeople Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Personally, I like 20".I ride alot of BMX, and switching to different wheel sizes just feels weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTF Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Stock ***. Mods are just made for kids just starting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 "Stock ***. Mods are just made for kids just starting out." ignore this ridiculous comment, cesar canas is not a kid justing stating out in my eyes, neither are benito, dani comas or marco hosel. They are some of the most incredible riders out there. I would say if you are a little on the short side then go with mod if u are tall and like the idea of riding stock then go for it.

nickyw Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I ride 20" and 26".....Stock 4TW though...Meh that's what I feel best on and alway's will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Depends what you like... if you're into the sidehopping stuff, then I guess a mod would be great. You can ride like beast on a mod, but don't expect to have much style, shoving your bike around is nice, but I have much more respect for stock riders since you can't just put your bike where you want. Mods look like alot of fun to ride but I don't find the riding is verry nice, stock riding is much more elegant, more flow.Damn I sound like a gay correograph sometimes...

Greetings Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Rode a mod for 5 years, and a stock for half a year now. Personally I think stock bikes feel much much better. You will probably benefit from a 20" bike if you have the right style and technique, I certainly didn't and that's why I hardly progressed throughout the last 2 years of riding a mod. It's really your choice, I don't want to go around saying mods are for kids because I don't like them - that's no argument. They're just different and that's a good thing, it certainly makes the sport more interesting.I'd say natural on a mod is easier but then that's just a guess, haven't ridden any rocks on my stock yet.

Nuke Bowel Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I much prefer mod to stock.They are so much easyer to flick around for a start.They feel alot more easyer to stable.It's one of those things, it's all down to what you prefer.Just ride what you feel comftable on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbye Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Stock is better than mod. Mods are so small. Im more into street stuff, so a stock feels much better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Again it's not a valid argument. Ride what you want and just get on with it. Who cares if you ride a stock or mod. The important thing is that your riding. Ben g WSTP.s mods aren't made just for kids who are starting out, anyone who thinks that doesn't know much about trials.
