  1. I know I've said it before, but please don't ride with those forks! They are dangerous! Aluminium fails suddenly, at unexpected times, it could be when your riding home on the road at like 15mph with a car behind you for all .......

    Hey Serious, i had those forks, on my first custom bike, and the left fork, just well, snapped, was fun though, riding on the road with 1 fork, but ended up buckeling my front rim , and screwed up the headset...

    not worth it..

  2. Hey man, i got my Onza T-rex, bout 3months ago now, and what can i say, its love at first sight. For starters, i found that the bike is really light, and is complemeted well by the 'ALex' rims that come with it as standard, and the Hydraulic brakes front and rear, work so well.

    The stock tires are well, good, dual composite, but after a while of riding they just are like normal tires.

    One of the only downfalls i found, was that the shifter for the gears, 'sometimes' slips when on rocks or such, but i have got used to it, so i just left it. The frame is very strong, and overall looks great, and feels great to ride, and handles like a dream.

    My advice is go for the T-rex, i was in the shop, and there was the choice of a Onza T-rex , or a saracen.. i made the right choice.

    Just bear in mind, the money you are spending is for quality, which you get with onza.

    good luck with it, i reccomend the

    ONZA T-Rex

  3. I ride a onza Trex, and i havnt bled the brakes in 1 month -from new, and they just looked at them and said they wnt need bleeding for about 5 months ,if i ride all the time, well meh, i only have a concern with the lube that seeps out of them at the adjuster.

  4. I have been riding on a Dawes Tamarak - the old one, which is sloped frame, and i can do basic tricks, but I now have some money and want to get a proper bike, which bike would be good for me. I am 6ft 4in and weight about 12stone. I have arround £350 to spend but, can gather more. So which bike could help me progress?

    Please help..

    Thanks Joe

    BTW : I have ridden a Onza Woodstock and fell in love, so Onza is my preffered make thanks!

  5. I found that the only way to learn was to lean back, until the bike rolls from under you, keep doing this(preferably on grass :D) until you can just about stop the bike with the brake. You may find that a small endo into this is better, as to not throw the bike from under you so violently. But don't give up, after you fall - keep practicing!
