I would say that you couldn't go wrong with a decent pair of second hand middle burns as they are super strong and last a lifetime (make sure you know what your buying/bidding on though) . As for pedals i would suggest Wellgo V12 copy (they are so grippy just watch the shins) or maybe something like bear trap type pedals like Echo VP-458a (search tarty). Goodluck and let us know what you get! Jon

Onza T-Pro definitely, I have one and they are super strong. Worth paying the little extra !

Onza T-Pro 2006 and it is wicked! I got it from http://www.airevalleycycles.com/products.p...lid=m1b13s3p259! Take a look it's completely standard.

I'm using magura (red) wet weather pads i think. and i'd rather not cut the disc because it's not mine, but I will use a steeper angle as that was effective the first time! Thanks, Jon

We went to southampton the other day which wasn't bad and the police didn't seem to mind. London was a drag because we got moved on so much. I like my hometown Fleet because it's good for beginners and basingstoke is also very good because theres so much to do! Have a look! Jon

I like my T-Pro because it's nicely balanced although I do like the Zoo Pythons because they are so long and sturdy !

I have just recently ground both my rims on my MOD Onza T-Pro. I started with the front wheel and noticeably got better by the time I had done the back one. This posed a problem as the back break had worked very well and the front still has an element of slipping slightly. I was just wondering how to make the grind very sharp and rough to grip the pads better because both of the rims look the same although I think I used a steeper angle on the second wheel. Any help would be much appreciated! Jon

All i can think of is that your chain has also been warn and this has caused a tight spot that may be causing the stiffness. If you had an old chain you could try that quick to see if its the problem or it may even been the cassette bearings been warn from the chain forcing them on such a wierd angle (happened to my cassette, but mine was loose aswell). Hope this helps. Jon

Well they're right saying to use insulation tap as I have done in the past, but if you are very keen on buying tape then i suggest you take a trip you your local bike shop because they have links between loads of companies and should be able to find you some. I have bought tape before, but very honestly it's alot cheaper to just use insulation tape or my favourite 'Duck' tape.

Haha excellent, maybe you can try put them on a background now!

Well i might aswell reply so i think they look pretty awesome! If i had some spare cash i would definitely consider getting some.

Sounds cool cheers for the advice guys!

I was able to get a very good deal on the 2006 T-Pro from AireValleyCycles and the delivery was next day!

I think so too Seb, or you could put your amazingly new HS33 back on until you get more cash!

It's been an expensive Christmas and it's left me with little cash, but I was just wondering what little inexpensive modifications I could do to my new T-Pro I could do? I am already considering grinding the rim as the pads are already slipping!

Well if theres nothing wrong then i suggest you just leave them as the pads should last atleast 6months from new. *Edit* By the way, buying a new set of original pads would be best if you were to buy new ones because others really aren't as good as they make out to be!

How worn are your original pads? My pads on my disc brake had deteriorated slightly and this affected the break hugely although they looked almost new. New pads helped alot. If your pads look good without any cuts or chips then i suggest sanding the top oily layer slightly to increase friction. If your break is clean and your pads just don't seem to grip then i suggest getting some new ones preferably all weather pads.
