20 24 or 26"

Whats the best for an mtb guy to start on? Found a nice cheap zhi 20" on observedtrials.net but I'm worried id feel the way I do when I get back on a Bmx getting on a 20" trials bike

I know what you mean, but a good 20 trials bike makes you feel good about your skills. Personally, everytime I have a dabble, I build up a 26 because that is what I rode back in the day. Have never tried a 24, but seems to be the good compromise between the two.

So what's 'easier' to ride? I've hopped around the ais on a 20" and felt comfy but was still riding bmx back then

I've been riding 26" trials (and still MTB on 26") for 10+ years and still feel like a goose trying to ride 20" trials bikes haha!

I'm looking at a trials bike myself too and from my short research I've read that a 20" will be the most rewarding right off the bat for a new rider.

As a mountainbiker I always found 26" trials bike the best, the others just feels strange.
