Just about everything, seriously. First off you'd have a hard time fitting a mod tire in the rear. You have to run a bmx crankset unless you have a newer frame with a euro BB and if thats the case why didn't you just buy a mod? With the right frame (one that accepts a mod tire) it could be done. If it is all the you can afford, go for it. Otherwise save up and buy a real trials frame, there is a huge difference.
What's a "mod" tire and how would that be better than a bmx tire? What's wrong with bmx crankset? Aren't they super strong?
The frame geometry of a BMX seems somewhat similar to a trials specific bike.....please, learn me some more
Mod bikes have longer wheel bases,a gear ratio thats almost 1:1 (i think...), often have hydro brakes, often have no seat, have a really low standover, and are liteweight. the wide tires alow a lower psi which improves traction and controle. you can ride trials on a BMX, provided it has front and back breaks...
