  1. If you really want a Coker - get the Coker.

    If you really want a trials - *_GET_THE_COKER_* and maybe a 19" aswell,
    if you really must.

    There really is no decision to be made here.

    In the past, I've ridden my old Sun 26" on the trails for at least 500
    hundred miles. That included (roots,rocks,6" drops, Etc).
    This was also after running the wheel over with my car and then truing
    it. Still rocked. It would still give me hundreds more miles, but it
    retired.

    It also depends on what your weight is. At 140lbs my weight made it
    easier. The rim is only single walled.

    My friend Shibumi rides his Sun 28" on our Greenbelt rides and he does
    well. As a matter of fact I just sold him a KH air seat for it.

    At this point I’ve gotten serious and have a Coker, KH 24" and KH 20" to
    beat on.

    Start with the Sun and when you really get serious about drops and all,
    upgrade.

    Have Fun!!🙂

    It'll be fine.
    I take mine off 2-foot drops all the time, and hopping up and down
    stairs.
    It's not as fast as a coker...I average about 8 or 9 mph sustained for
    an hour, and about total max speed of 12 before I spin out and fly off.
