Recommended Posts

Bonz, a sub-brand of Ozonys, have some new bits out for 2011, including some pretty light rear hubs, some rims, some stems, some bashrings and some alloy sprockets.

They did indeed!

Regarding the pricing, it'd definitely be cool if they were cheaper (as with everything I guess :P), but I guess the alloy sprockets bump the price up a bit, as does all the extra work required to make a splined hub good enough to use. It's a fair bit harder to do than just battering a load of threads on a more 'conventional' hub, which is pretty much the reason why no other companies are really going for the splined hubs much. So yeah, that, plus the fact it's aimed to compete with stuff like the Try-All H line mean it isn't cheap.

EDIT: Just checked out that Curve 2 build. Radial rear lacing. Hmm...

The rims seem to be the same as the V!Z rims.

Stems are quite like the tarty/trialprod/.../generic/stems. Just a bite longer for the stock one. The quality is not so nice , i bought one, threads/holes are drilled a bit higgledy piggledy, But maybe it is just mine.

Anyway splined rear hub is a very good thing.
