Bike Trials

im looking to buy a bike and i would like a 26" as i think a 20" would be to small but im unsure about gears what are the pros and cons of a single speed over one which has gears?

Sam's latest video, now riding for Koxx UK Sam Oliver ( A new chapter)

Got about

Do you have to have the ability to hop around on the front and back wheel? to ride bike trials? Or is it like moto trials where only the experienced are riding on the back wheel?and the rest of mere mortals are riding around on two wheels. Forgive my ignorance for i have not been to bike trials event and cannot find a normal(for want of a better word) bike trials vid on youtube.

I used to ride on a 20'' Monty a few years ago now when I was younger (admittedly not very well), but sold it when I stopped using it as much as i'd like too. I am seriously thinking of getting into Trials again but was unsure about which size bike to go for. I would prefer a 20'' wheel bikes but i'm 25 years old now and 6' 3''. Will a 20'' bike be ok for someone my size or should I go for a 26''? Cheers for any help.

I was just thinking i do and thought that after riding a motorbike going back to a small pedal bike is realy diffrent and u feel a great weigh diffrence as expected and this gives u that extra ability to hope around much easyer!! Do any of you agree???? Thanks Henry

Hi Guy's How do you rate the Pashley 26 MHz frame. ( one to ten) Do you think it was the best at the time is was made. Do you think that it should now be classed as a "classic". Do you think there should be a class for this "Classic" bike.as a one make series. Its up to you Guy's now. Regards.Charlie.

Just wondering what foot position you people use while on a pedal bike? I have always rode on the balls of my feet but recently was told you should ride on the arch!

I know I am probably in the wrong forum for this right now but I had to ask. I ride bicycle in the off season from october till april to try and stay in a shape other than round. I have realized that the monty 219 magura (my present ride) is just too short for me being 6.0'. So I am doing my research on zoo, koxx, and other brands. I want to build up a real trials bicycle and take it serious this winter. I am seeing this interesting new frame from trialsin (which i was surprised changed hands). Anybody used the FTW frame? I want to stay with a mod bike because i like the manuverability. (makes me feel like a hero) I am really just starting the research phase and…

Hi folks, just thinking of having a go at this as a way of getting a bit fitter - haven't really ridden since I was a kid - about 30 years ago! Just wondering about the pro's and con's of 20 " wheels against 26" wheels, so any helpful info would be.........well........helpful! I have no dreams of being able to do anything impressive but would like to be able to do some rock hoppin stuff etc etc. Cheers. PS I'm 6.0ft and about 11 stone in old money!

Please take a look, thankyou

My brother and I showed up at a local ATRA (moto) event (Canada) and put on a kids bicycle trial. Only 3 riders rode and they had a blast. Maybe next time there will be more kids show up ready to ride.
