If you do Decide to get stickers , then just get a picture or some artwork of the zona logos , take it to a sign/sticker company tell them the dimensions and they should be able to do it. I had my onza ones done when i sprayed my bike and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between them and the official onza ones. piece of piss to put on aswell.
Thats mine, i sprayed lacquer over them after aswell to give it a shine and to stop the stickers from peeling back.

double sided sticky tape ?
Please tell me your not being serious ???

Try spraying brake or clutch cleaner on the bars and/or inside of the grips, its designed to evaporate leaving no oil or residue. I race motorbikes aswell and do this on my racebike grips to - havent slipped once. Works a treat.
-
Never tried it , or thought about trying it to be honest , i dont see a problem with just using magura blood.
Although the flora vegetable oil is still circulating in my front brake :L i cant be arsed changing it.
-
I've used vegetable oil for a while because i didn't have any mineral brake fluid. works quite well actually
-
I don't use a freehub, but judging by some of the remarks i've heard about the new viz extreme freehub it could be worth a look. Quality might not be as good as the hope pro II but the 120 engagement points might grab your attention!
have a look ...on here
-
Its exactly the same , if you look at the first step you'll see you have to put a spoke in once every four holes , and the difference between 32 holes and 36 is 4 , however if you go on this , which is what i used to learn from , you should find everything a bit easier to understand.

No, no, no. Not in wet weather!
how come ? im using them at the moment and have no problem riding in the wet with them.
-
sure, mines not an onza, the only real similarity is white on red, but here goes:
dont usually like stock bikes but thats rather nice
i like the chrome youvwe got mixed in there aswell , nice bike

-
id say for a smooth rim , rockman green pads , work really well in the dry and quite well in the wet too.
also for a grind try the plazmatic Crm's good bite and strong hold ...... excellent noise to !
-
cool you got a picture of it ?
-
yep would have to agree there , i swapped my onza forks (1397g) for a set of echo sl forks for £80 (588g) noticable difference whatever your doing , and if your prepared to throw a bit o' money at it , i would recomend some monty 221 cranks (£80 and very light ) and some magnesium pedals which quite a few brands are selling for around 45 pounds.
-
dont think they are
cool , what onza you got ? -
just another pic i had on the camera
-
definately hebo gloves , comfy and allows you to feel the bars/brakes well
-
yehh supose it would be nice to have a more desirable frame but i just didnt have the money when i bought the bike , but it rides nice and the echo forks are almost a whole kilo lighter than my old onza fall guy forks , its made the bike so much more flicky now.
-
thanks everyone for the comments
now the bikes sorted all i have to do now is to learn how to ride the damn thing :L
-
ermm quite a few things , people that ride in front of you when your trying to do something , old people that tell you to " get off that grass " etc , people who say "wow hes got a monty" even if you have a huge onza sticker down the side of the bike , and older people that say , put some wd40 on your brakes because theyre squeaking and its annoying :L
-
soo nice how did you get the headtube logo red?
with a brush and some acrylic based paint , my neighbour does car body repairs and put 8 coats of laquer over it for me
-
thanks mate , should be nice the amount of money and time thats gone on it :L i was bikeless for 4weeks while i got it welded and sprayed it
-

T-pro's should really be called T-snaps , i would avoid them although a very nice bike to learn on , but you can pick up a brand new zona zip frame which are apparantley pretty strong and look fairly close to a zoo pyhton for around 160 quid.
