The Duck

Well at least say something about what you ride, who you ride with etc.

I run a Try-All freewheel They are the nuts! I love it! You will get one from here. Thats an order

Sorry if you find this deeply upsetting, but i find lighting my eyeballs on fire with meths more thrilling than that post. I feel like slitting my wrists to music thanks to you.

Tom, I now see that the way you deal with bikes is reflective of your personality - If something isn't quite right, HIT IT WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER! He has got a point, I'll give him that. But he is still a moody little testicle!

I put two £1 coins in with a few notes, and sent it to smelly_joe. He PM'd me when he got it saying the coins were missing! Some cheekeh postman precision cut a hole in the corner just big enough to get the coins out. Its only two quid for duck sake!

Dont think you searched hard enough matey!

Don't buy an old VW Polo what ever you do. They are as useless as a one legged man arse kicking competition. I used to have one, every time we went over 36 mph the oil pressure warning light came on and it started to make a buzzing noise. Useless. But a few laps round the banger-racing track made me feel much better

Hes not really the sort of person who you would expect to die quietly in his sleep though is he. For him getting shot in the heart by a stingray was a pritty good way to go. Its just a shame it didnt happen when he was a bit older. Still had a young family etc. R.I.P

Looks like Jennifer Lopez in hot pants! Do I spy a purple chain? Cheers

Click, take notes, and stop mooning. Its the same for everyone. I'm not even validated and these occasional 'please validate me/why aren't i validated?' topics are really starting to hack me off.

Damn right! Helicoiling is basically where you stick this thing that looks a bit like a screwdriver into the threaded object. Its like a sharp bolt sort of thing (having a bit of trouble explaining ). It just re-threads things. If you still dont have a clue what i'm on about, use the search!!

I still haven't contacted Onza/Supercycles. But I was wondering, is it still safe to ride when its like it is? Or does it make it likley to completly snap if i put pressure on it? (i.e if I drop off a high wall onto the back wheel) Because i cant see myself getting another frame in the near future and I ride all the time Cheers

Yeah I will ring them, but i was thinking... I might be able to claim it on the house ensurence, if i say i did it in the garden on some bricks or something That would be cool! keep you posted...

Found my warranty... Any I've had it for over a year .But... hmmmmm Any idea's where to go now? Cheers

Have you split it, then adjusted the chain tugs so the distance between the cranks and the back wheel is shorter, then removing the offending links? So basically adjust the chain tugs and you'll be able to do it! Added you on msn incase your still having problems! Starting to go a bit

Quote, quote, quote... I havent had any problems like that! The set up is fine I think I'd quite like a longer frame... Couldn't you just take some links out of the chain? Are you still running an 18t freewheel at the front and a 12t rear sprocket? If not that might be the problem.

Sorry Si-man, i think we posted our messages at the same time so i managed to miss yours! I think i should be able to get it done on crash replacement too! I just need to dig up the warranty to see if it says anything helpful... Yeah your absolutely right, I still think its stupid them asking me to fork out 145 quid for their mistake that they've now corrected. I didn't even know they had changed the frame so that didn't happen . I think I was one of the first people to buy it, so I did get one of the ones that cracks easily. Lesson learned! To be honest if the best they can do is offer me a half price frame, they can keep it. I'd much rather get an Echo or a GU with my money! Corney Thanks again chaps

Sorry its quite late (thats my excuse), but do you mean i pay £100 and then get a replacement? It better not be, i'm not very happy . I think the plan is... I phone them (using my angry voice), and say; ... loads of people with the same problem.... New one if you please?... Well if you do 'big drops ect' how does that effect the bash plate? If your dropping off a wall for example, onto flat ground, what the duck has that got to do with the bash plate? Sorry if you meant it in a different way matey!! Cheers for all the help you guyths

Pitbull 07, You'll have to wait 'till september matey

Oh well at least i'm not the only one! Still sad though hahaha

Don't think I really want an onza again after that! I didnt abuse it at all! For the first couple of weeks (because i was clueless and i made the mistake of reading the warrenty, 'dont use in wet weather...') i hid under things when it started to rain and stuff! hahaha

For about 3 months my frame has sort of been dented in where the front bolt of the bash plate is . When i first noticed it, i took the bash plate off, so i didn't make it any worse and so it would force me to learn to back wheel stuff better. Then about a month later i decided I was to lazy to not have a bash plate, so I put it back on. This is what just happened; #1 (click here) #2 (and here) #3 (and here if you really want to) Can i get this re-welded? Is it under warranty? (i bought it just over a year ago)..... Any suggestions what i should do?

Somebody isn't a very happy bunny!

Well no, i dont think you can get a white trials spicfic stem. But you can get one of thease. EDIT: Si-man, great minds....
