mikey23 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Why don't you ride someones long mod bike and then make your decision? Or just search it up and find your answer maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruption0 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 personally i like 20" long frames there so much easier to balance on the back wheel than a short frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsr lee Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 what about height does this matter im 5 foot 6/7 what would a bike with a wheel base of 1030 be like to me?Why don't you ride someones long mod bike and then make your decision? Or just search it up and find your answer maybe? were i live no one owns a long 20" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David20 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Go for an around 1000 wheelbase mod, your a little bit smaller than me and thats what length of frame I'm riding and I feel very comfortable on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 time for my famous mod bashing........go for a short, there isnt much point in a long mod in my eyes, if a short mod is too short then you need a stock.A short mod can fit on small rocks, is more flicky, can bunnyhop well, sidehop well and generally have mor advantages than long mods.this is my personal opinion though, I am sure others will dissagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rankin Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 i would have to agree with alic.But i would also say that if you are a CLS wannabe and just want to go massive on street then a long may suit that type of riding better. looking at the top 20" compettion riders you will find that most ride short bikes dispite their height. comas being about 6,3" and riding a monty the way he does is the perfect example.i ride a short and couldnt ever see myself on a long 20"tom ......

flas12345 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 i have a onza-tpro and the wheelbase on these are 1015, it feels a very nice bike to ride but i think is a bit to short for me and i am just under 6ft tall, but realy it all depends on what you feel best on.cheers lou.

Greetings Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Some time ago when I still rode mod, the worst 20" frame I ever had was a long GU, and the best - a 221ti which was really short. The GU was horrible, disgusting, bad and almost turned me gay. Now having ridden stock for half a year I find the long GU awesome. No idea what this means but maybe if you're going from stock, a long mod will feel more friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Tea Why Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 IMO it depends what style you want to ride, if you're more big/high bunnyhops and lots of spin I would recommend a short bike, but if your a CLS wannabe .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 depends what frame short of long really right? My short GU i really like.... so much nicer than my long echo control....and prefer it to the longer mods.... too hard to tell really from different specs..... but i love my short gu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I've only riden short mods, so call me biased on this one.I think one of the kicks in having a mod trials is having a small, flicky, and manipulative bike. If you want a long mod or big mod, then go get a stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I don't think how tall you are matters really, its just how you feel on the bike. Im around 6ft and i think for me that a long mod is better because my mission is way to short, It feels like the front end is pulling me down all the time . And when i ride a long mod it just sits on the back wheel really nice so i decided to get a long frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
