Trials Bikes, who rides what & why?

[MISA]

Greetings,

 

 

 

Am curious as to how or why you got to your chosen size of ride, be it 20, 24, or 26" besides the obvious diffs between the sizes is there a particular reason for your choice of ride?

 

 

For interest sake Is there anyone who has ridden all three sizes and can give a comparison between the three?

So this is what i started on

 

Then my First Proper Trials bike was a 26" GT Zaskar

 

Which then had a few upgrades, Fork, stem Bars.

 

And now I have moved onto the Love of my life, she's just got new HS33's and brake clamps.

 

I started on 26" then moved to 24", I will never go back.

I prefer street trials, Danny Mac style and the 24" is a lot more fun and playable.

 

I have ridden all 3 sizes now.

20" - VERY light, maneuverable and accurate.

not as fun and playfull but easy to learn on and get use to.

 

24" - Perfect

Playfull, maneuverable, more stable, basically a bit of both.

Not ideal for natural competition trials, perfect for street.

 

26" - bigger wheels help with height, feels more stable and under controll.

Very good for Natural trials.
