    Can anyone help me with sorting out a bottom bracket and freewheel? I have those ISIS Onza cranks but I'm unsure of the required clearance, I could also do with a freewheel too. Back in the day you'd grab an ACS claws, cut the tabs off, weld it up and you'd be sorted but it seems they no longer sell them :mad:

    Thought I'd finally give this a long overdue update.

    Earlier on in the year I picked some stuff up from @wilf, he kindly sent across an Onza T-Lite frame, Viz forks, Onza stem and some bars. This package turned up looking like some giant insect cocoon!

    Once I had battled removing it all I ended up with this...

    I took the half built bike to the garage where I left it for a free weekend to transfer over some of the parts from the original T-Bird. Admittedly I had to buy some tools to remove some components but still had some of my original stuff which I bought nearly 20 years ago which has definitely paid for itself now.

    In the mean time I got myself a 12T sprocket from @monkeyseemonkeydo which I've got waiting for when I get my freewheel crank setup all bought.

    After seeing @James Wright selling a Hope Tech 3 Trialzone front disk and a Echo front disk wheel I added this to the seemingly never ending bike bits

    I had seen Onza had a sale on their website so thought I'd get another piece of the puzzle sorted...

    So all I require now is an ISIS bottom bracket, a new chain and a 180mm front rotor to be back up and running.

    Yeh there is still a few of us in Northallerton/Darlington area.

    I might have to hit you up for a ride in a couple of months when I've got my bike sorted. I'm originally from Northallerton and used to ride regularly there back in 2005ish.

    Hi All,

    After 15 years out of trials, at the ripe age of 30 I've decided to scratch the itch and get myself another trials bike.

    After scouring through my profile I found old photos of my last trials bike which ended up in Beverley from memory, below are some photos on which were taken with a potato

    I recently got myself an Onza T-Bird off eBay, I remember having one of those around 2003 and thought it would be good to go back to something familiar.

    I've a few things I'd like to replace on it, primarily the freewheel as it has what feels like 10 engagement points!

    Thanks for looking

  16. Which freewheel?

    Hi Guys,

    Long time member returning to trials after a 15 year hiatus.

    I recently bought myself an Onza T-Bird off ebay for a steal, it's great to reminisce as I had one of them back in 2004!

    The biggest issue I have is that the standard freewheel has what feels like 6 engagement points and it isn't helping my sub standard skills. 

    What do people recommend these days? A favourite before was an ACS Claws but they don't seem to be about these days?

    Thanks

    Problem is they, the ones with usb in etc tend to be crap. Pretty much any head unit that can take a CD changer can be used with a 3.5-phono cable for a aux input. Sometimes they require an adapter to trick the control part of the head unit into thinking you have a changer fitted, for example sony head units.

    How? I have a cd player which has cd changer controls on it, im using a sony tape player with a cassette adapter to use my ipod :lol:
