  The spokes are huge due to the chance's of crashing and the ball hitting the wheels and mallet hits etc 12'' guage spokes if any one knows where i could buy them let me know and there is a pint for you in dublin
  the chain we use is a off a motor bikes as i have seen many time bmx chains break and even mountain bike chains break .

  No larger wheels are no help as the bike will become longer and even if you had a lie-back saddle piller you would not be able to get the ball at the rear wheel if you sheild the ball using the rear wheel or to pass the ball across the back of your rear wheel.The french use 24inch the trad polo teams in England Ireland and Scotland use 26''inch and 3/8 wheels.
  I often pass and drib-bull with the pass under the bottom brackit if you feel the ball is to big and finding it hard turn your wheel at a slight angle and the area under your bottom brackit has now increased due to the wheel angle.This is one great way to turn the oppsition on there arse.
  Another way with the lie back saddle piller is lean back and pull a the frount wheel up off the ground and pass the ball under the wheel and the closer the ball is to your the back wheel doing this the more chance the ball will chip or rise.
  try it in a game you will see that the oppistion will be out of the game as the ball is now on your off-side going forward while he is going the oppsite way (right side )and is now out of the game as he has to turn around and chase after you.

  Handle bars not great if they were a bit higher and turned up and then back the are the best for control and stooting. you need blance for shooting and passing and any bike that has two or more gears is at a loss in tight turns and shooting.
  Polo bikes can be light or heave but the gearing on the bikes must be at one with the rider if the gear is to high and he is a defender he wont be able to defend in close contact ( GET THE MOVING )but will be not able to chase down a player which a has a lower gear which will make space fast and shoot so you put a mid feild player with the higher gear to be able to ride down the the attack team in a lower amount of spinning and he also can gain speed and get up feild from his back line to a mid feild in less turns of the peddles if the ball is passed to a forward player.
  Any one who i ever seen riding a bike with gear leavers and break leavers all ways drops the ball while playing.
  Ride a gear that suits your weight and fitness. Speed never won any game passing and a team working as one all ways win.
