|   Surly for Trials??............... | Shane73
Sep 30, 2003 7:40 AM | | I decided to set up my 14" Instigator to be as Trials friendly as possible and if I stick with it maybe next Summer I'll get a true Trials frame. I'm wondering if the BB drop will give me troubles on advanced moves?? |

But when you'll want to go bigger(ex: pedal-up to the no bench side of a picnic table to rear wheel) that frame might give you some problems, mainly because of the lack of standover and ground clearance. |

I have been playing arround with trials stuff for awhile now on my planet x jfc, total urban set up and I can pedal up to a pinic table fine. The key is to get used to your bike and if trying trials moves on a non trials bike you might have to over exxagerate movements or put more into it. I find that it's a lot more taxing to do trials on non trials bikes but otherwise it willbe just fine.
