    Onza Pads

    good with smooth rims, not good on grind, but CHEAP: bought 10 sets for 50 pounds (supercycles)
  10. When I brake with my rear hs33, the left hand side pad does not seem to move back completely to its starting position. Before I take the brake apart, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me if: A- brake needs a bleed? B- some spring element needs to be changed? C- cylinder needs to be changed? D- anything else...? Thanks Pietro
  11. I've been reading various posts on the forum regarding mod frames. If I understand correctly, it seems that comps/natural frames are short with smaller chainstays and lower bb whilst other frames (streety ones) are longer with longer chainstays and higher bb. WHY? thanks
  12. I've only been riding for a year and I'm no expert. I initially bought a stock but found I was progressing slowly. I then bought a mod and have been learning faster. I now occasionally switch from mod to stock and I can do everything that I do on my mod also on the stock. However the stock feels heavier and more difficult to throw around but I guess it's just a case of getting used to it. What I find interesting is that whenever I go back to mod after riding stock I find my style more precise... Also my balance on two wheels is better on the stock. Anyway, on the whole, for the time being, I prefer mod.... but I'm just a beginner.
  13. WIMP, I used to do 25 megazillion squats/second with my car and trials bike on my shoulders.... Nowdays I only do 4000squats per hour with 2000kg weight....

  16. I'm 35 and I started 3 months ago. I"m crap, but I love it. No one (wife, friends, parents) understand why i ride, but I don't expect them to understand. If you enjoy it, just do it.

  18. I got my new Onza T raptor couple of days ago and I've been practicing a few basic moves. My bike has 8 rear gears and I can almost hop/rock/pedal kick on all gears. However since I'm completely inefficient (I've got lactic acid inside every muscle of my body!), I seem to burn an amazing amount of energy on whatever rear gear (cog) I'm using. As a consequence it is difficult for me to tell which rear cog to use. As a beginner should I be using the largest cog or something in between the largetst and smallest? Thanks Ciao
  19. Should a beginner have a bike with a large or small bottom bracket height? What moves can be made easier with a larger/smaller bottom bracket height? (e.g. large bottom bracket height => more vertical chainstays when the front wheel is lifted => easier to stay up on back wheel??? Is this true???) Thanks
  20. waht is your opinion of the t raptor? Is it a good bike for beginners? Thanks Ciao
  21. Which of these two bikes is best for a beginner: Onza Woodstock spec1 Onza T rex spec 1 What is the difference between the two bikes ? The price is pretty similar. Thx Ciao
