    For me, as someone with a little BMX / Dirtjump background in his early 20s, there was no doubt that im going with the 24 Street Trial.
    Even with the slightly different geometry (compared to those bikes mentioned before), it feels familiar pretty quick. You can just grab it and hit your local skatepark. I even spend some time in a miniramp a few days ago. And on top of that, its still a trials bike to do trials stuff :D
    Awesome Video as always! Thank you :)

    Hi, I used to ride trials many years ago and I'm looking to get back in to it. I like the idea of a 24" as it seems the most versatile, but I was curious to know how competitions work (I always wanted to enter one but never did)? Is it based on skill level or wheel size? I can't recall ever seeing a 24" bike in competition.
    Great channel btw.

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  2 роки тому +1

      Welcome back to trials! A lot of people are coming back to the sport (myself included!) - I would say the 24” bike is a really fun all around bike for trials and some rolling stuff. If you were looking to optimize for competition, I’d probably go with a 26” bike…but given how few competitions there are right now, I think that 24” will serve you well!

    What's the difference between a street trials and a jump bike, besides the usual front brake delete on the jumper? They look pretty much the same to me.

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  Рік тому +1

      They are pretty close in geometry, the street trials typically has a higher bottom bracket, longer top tube and lower standover height. But you could easily ride Street trials on a dirt jumper (and vice versa) without any issues.

    I am 6 feet tall. Initially, I began with a 26" bike, but after trying a 20" with a stem suitable for my height, I found the 20" to be much more comfortable. Would you recommend sticking with the 26", or could the 20" be a good option for me?

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  Рік тому +3

      Interesting! I think there's a big difference between the two bikes (other than wheel size), and ultimately it comes down to which style of riding you prefer. I'm more of a two-wheel flow style rider, so the bigger wheels work best for my riding style - but if 20" is working for you and you're comfortable on it, I'd recommend sticking with it!

    Loving the Channel Aaron. Can I ask a quick question regarding Mod bikes? I just picked up my first used Mod. What is the deal w/ 19" vs 20" tires? Are 19's made to simply create more clearance? I am in need of a new rear tire and not sure what to get. Thanks and greatly appreciate the channel.

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  3 роки тому +2

      19” is the standard size for mod bike rear wheels (front is 20”), although I’m not entirely sure of the origin! TartyBikes, Trials Superstore or WebCyclery should have plenty of great options - you can’t go wrong. Stoked that you’re trying out a mod bike!

    I'm a lifelong freestyle bmx rider who just now got a 26" dirt jumper for the first time. My skills are mostly miniramp stuff, abubacas, nosepicks, tailtaps, etc...A lot of it looks like trials riding, except I can't imagine fakies on a gear that small. Can I use a 24" BMX bike with solid forks to learn some trials stuff or am i better off with something else on a budget? There doesn;t seem to be much stock of trials anything, so I'd have to invest in new.

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  3 роки тому

      You can absolutely start on a 24” BMX or a 26” dirt jumper - so many riders have done exactly that. There are a bunch of trials basic tutorials on the channel, which would be the perfect place to start! You’ll be surprised how much of your skatepark skills give you a leg up on some of the balance and rear wheel moves, too.

So I started mountain biking this year and I bought a 27.5 hardtail and I fell in love with trials (tho I don't know what it is called before) do u think I can still learn and progress in trials even though i'm using a 27.5? If not, I'm willing to let go my 27.5 >:)

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  3 роки тому +1

      Awesome!! Welcome to trials! You can absolutely learn all of the basic moves on 27.5" and it'll be a massive help to your MTB riding to have those locked in on the 27.5. If you can do it all on a 27" wheel, it'll also make transferring to a smaller wheel size even easier, so you kinda win twice!

    Hello Super Rider, Im considering getting a competition bike and I’m really interested in the 20 inch wheel but I’m quite tall (6 foot 2)and so I was wondering if the 20 feels smaller in reach then the 26, what do you think?
    I really want to have the bike that feels the most comfortable on rocks and on the back wheel, so I’m leaning more on the 20 inch.

    • @SuperRiderTV
      @SuperRiderTV  Рік тому

      Hi! That's a great question. I do think that a 26" might fit better - and the new competition bikes are super comfortable on the back wheel, I'm not sure if a 20" would be noticeably better in that category, but they are both pretty great. The other benefit of the 26" comp bike is that it rolls a bit better over obstacles, so it's more forgiving than the 20" (which is necessary sometimes..haha). Either way, either version of the comp bike will undoubtedly be fun to ride, you honestly can't go wrong!
