Yep, All your points do have positive affects to the hub, but do make it heavier. Scott Wilson is our only 26" rider that runs a front freewheel and he has been testing the free hub body now for 5 months. So the Alloy body seems to be going really well. To be honest, Although there may be riders out there running rear disc the majority still run rim brakes. So to save weight we went without. Very similer story with the bolts, Scott has had no trouble with his bolts so why over bulk?

New Onza Fixed Hub is now available. Fully serviceable and very smooth sealed bearing hub This is a fixed cassette body Trials hub and is designed only for use with a front crank fitted, freewheel. Light but incredibly strong and silky smooth. Low Flange rear with 135mm spacing and Alloy Shimano Cassette body. Can be used with up to a six speed cassette or with a single speed converter. Tough but strong hollow cromoly axle with 6mm cromoly bolts and CNC shaped spacers. Weight : Rear is only 245 grams without bolts and spacers ( bolts and spacers 26 grams) Alloy cassette body for comp. use means wide based sprockets must be used. RRP £34.99

Just some pics of him on it .

That link didnt work for me, Hope this one does. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fKuty-T850Y&...feature=related

Looks like it was nice and sunny, Think he is doing another one now as i speak.

Well thats what Andrei said the other day, Whats the heavy thing on there though? The weight of the frame joe rides has not been announced so it might be lighter then an XTP.

Have you ever ridden one? I'm no star on a trails bike but I love messing about on mine. And I've had the choice of any of the proto types, Limeys etc. If your just getting into it you will have more fun on a bike with a geo like that. We didn't just randomly make that geo, We did it for a reason. For beginners! If fact I'm just gonna go and play on mine now

Just asked him, Its 8.3KG.

Must his new sponsors he he .........Nar not really but he has been training seriously hard for this year. He wants results big time.

Thanks Wes, You still did well though cosidering your back.

Ay up wes, Where can we see the rest of the results? Wish we as in Onza had gone like planned.

got a Text off Scott, Sounds as though Drei came 9th over all just 1 place of the finals. Not too sure about the rest of the brits but well done to them all.

I completely agree, apart from his brilliant riding ability the main reason we signed him was because he has such a great attitude. His personality rubs off on so many people. I mean look at this picture, He drives to schools all over Devon doing demos and raising "trials awareness" to so many kids. This really swayed him to sign for us because he wanted some "more affordable bikes to be displayed" so that after he has done the demo, When the kids come rushing up to him and say " wow, how much is your bike and where can i get one from" he can show that trials is not just £800 bikes with no seats.

Joe likes drilling but I dont think he is the type of weight weenie that is after the lightest bike ever, He just knows that it helps when the bike is lighter. In other words I don't think he has weighed it. We will soon see if it makes a difference as he is competing this weekend in Barca, fingers crossed, He deserves some recognition on an international level as he is an awesome rider.

Hmmmm....1. Joe took these snap shots just before he packed his bike up for Barcelona and then he e-mailed me to see what I thought of the paint job. He is not David Bailey for Christ sake.. 2. I'm not driving 5 hours to Exeter to book a studio and take some quality pics of a paint job that might not even come into production Just thought you guys might like to see the pics he sent. Rims will come like that as standard, He has not drilled them himself.

Its a regular Limey 2, He really enjoys it now he is used to it. Burton signature frame will be about soon.

Joes Pimped his Triad up for Barcelona this weekend, 0 o

Comments please, Picture taken by Mike Alsford.

Ok, Slap my wrists if someone else has put this up but I cant find it. Drei is Producing more vids then I can shake a stick at now. Nice one beard. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vze5gVv0Fyk

We are working on something, Its hard to be original in the 24" side though.

In all fairness it was a pretty sweet street frame 6 years ago when it was designed, but lets not go off topic.

I'm having a meeting with them today so the price's should change rather soon as I think they have last years prices up.

We could try it but it could mess with other areas of the bike eg Geo etc. which then would make all these bad boys late. So we might surprise you. Trying to get Glastonbury tickets at the moment and cant even get on see tickets.com

Release dates are still a little hard to pin down as we have a few things to change. Disc mounts, chain rub etc. We have decided to work on one at a time. The Limey 1.six is our main aim, We are changing the back end to make it super stiff. Ice is close to being finished though. For shipping and paint job reasons they will have the same'ish public release dates. I would rather have these frames bang on before you guys can ride them. Wild stab in the dark would be 2 Months. 1 month to get final proto's and then 1 month to make the production models. Gotta think of 5 new paint jobs before the then.
