hi fellas
i am looking at buying a dialled 20" bmx but a few people who i had a quick word with thought there are shite to ride and easily flip when manualling so if any of you guys out there own/ride one whats your verdict on them :-\
-
I have a Ti one that I swapped for a cromo one and can confirm that there are no issues with manualling ,, its all about the control. Always cover the brake . If you have found a dialled at a nice price then buy it .Its as good as any other cromo frame out there . Just dont run before you can walk . :daumenhoch:

Buy one and ring its neck :daumenhoch:
-
Fantastic Frames :4_17_5:
and Mike's a sound fella as well :daumenhoch:
-
They are cracking bikes Gish, who ever told you they were shit were liars :knuppel2:
More riders race a Dialled at Nationals than S&M and Standard combined :daumenhoch:
-
My verdict is quite simple. 3 riders. 3 x 20" Dialled. 3 x 24" Dialled. 1 x Dialled Holeshot. 1 x Dialled Alpine. 1 x Dialled Prince Albert. My boys and I are VERY happy with our Dialled bikes. :) Humps

I was not going to buy a dialled Cruiser, as I was being a bit snobby as we have many riders on dialled in South Region. I bought a Dialled Prince Albert, (XC Frame), as I had snapped my Specialised Stump Jumper, and it handled so well, I was convinced I should buy the Cruiser, (and stop being so stupid). Now I have that, it has helped my technical riding no end, (agree with Bof).
I cannot give anything but praise for the brand, and its bikes.... :)

Someone has been telling you porkies mate!
I loved my Dialled, on returning to racing i found the other new school bikes awful and was actually going to race on my Old school bike. Tony got me a Dialled and I LOVED IT, from the minute i got on it i fealt happy with the way it rode, manualled, jumped, they really are fantastic frames, i also loved the bars better than S & M's :daumenhoch:
Mike is a sound bloke who puts a lot back into the sport, the fact that so many people are riding his frames is a testament to the quality of them :daumenhoch:
DIALLED BIKES :Great_Britain: :smitten:

Gish, it all boils down to if YOU feel comfortable on the frame I would have a go on a few and see what you think. They will ride a bit different to Mid School bikes but you should be able to tell if with a bit of work you'll be able to get on with them or not. Not all frames suit a riders own style but some give more extreme reactions than others and therefore people either love or hate them (and I bet I can guess who you were talking to that hates them :LolLolLolLol:)

If you yank the front up like you have to on some other race frames to manual, you will flip, BUT this is one of the reasons why the DIALLED :Great_Britain: is so good, you don't need to yank the front up, you can manual them for ever with FULL control as you can manual with the front wheel much lower and with MUCH less effort than other race frames.
I think they are PERFECT frame (haven't seen my 20" in a while though as Billy Stupple 'borrowed' it ::)

Don't view it as crossing to the dark side. Dialled's are a conventional design made from the proper stuff that all bikes should be made of (not that noncy ali or ti sh*te) and even with some OS wheels and bars will be a good ride but better still to do the job properly like the three 20s I've got; Profile hubs, Chris King headset, Profile cranks or Redlines. Lovely!! :smitten: Humps
