  1. I fail to see how people can't think of their own colour schemes.

    BLACK and any colour

    WHITE and any colour

    SILVER and any colour

    ANY COLOUR and black

    ANY COLOUR and white

    ANY COLOUR and silver

    There's six for you. Please don't tell me you need help figuring out what colour ANY COLOUR should be. Also don't tell me you're putting other people's opinions over your own for colour choice.

    Well... technically thats only 3 choices, but I see what your getting at.

  2. I'm not to keen on foam, but I see a lot of riders use them, so it must be good. I'll give it a go, thanks.

    Here is what I have now on my list:

    Onza Blade

    TrialTech Foam Grips - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=132

    DMR V8 Pedals - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=23

    Rockman 7046 Riser Handlebars - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=138

    Can you guys recommend a good stem for my bike, not too expensive, but not a cheapy one I can throw away after a few days. :P

  3. What's the difference between a 20" and a 19" back wheel?

    Think of it like having two front tires, one in front and on at the back. If you compare the pictures of the Rip with another 19" wheel, you can see that the 19" looks way stronger, with a fatter tire.

  4. Aye, the Blade reference threw me :P

    Well it turns out by the time I get that bike and try it out and send it back, I won't be able to get my money back, and from the pics it seems there's a hole in the frame, a crack or split or whatevs, I dunno, but some sort of gaping void which shouldn't be there :P

    My mate, cousin actually, who is a specialist in a bike shop AND did trials for two years says a Bird is good to learn on, it's what his friend had too. It seems I'm just gonna have to splurge it on a Bird then :P

    Yeah I wouldn't take the Rip simply because it has that 20" back wheel. Go for the bird (Y)

  5. Let the air out of your tube.

    Remove the tyre/tube.

    Remove the rim tape that is already wrapped around the rim, if the rim is drilled poke your finger through one of the holes to help you grab hold of the rim tape. If not use a screwdriver to get it out.

    If using electrical tape/gaffa tape/masking tape etc. Put one layer of the tape sticky side UP around the entire rim so it meets and sticks back on itself.

    Next put 2/3 layers of the tape with the sticky side DOWN around the entire rim so that it sticks to the original layer of tape.

    Use a screwdriver or scissors (get your parents to do this if you're a youngun) to poke a hole through the tape where the valve hole is.

    Put the tyre/tube back on.

    Thanks (Y)

  6. That's the one. They dropped the T because they no longer felt the need to reinforce the fact Onza is a trials brand.

    Sorry what? I heard the T-Pro is the older model, with a seat. The Pro is the 2009 model, with no seat.

    It's a fair bit better than a rip or blade.

    I'm pretty sure you mean better than the Rip or BIRD, not BLADE.

  7. Stop laughing please :angry:

    But if you look at the rim of the Onza Balde, it has those circles between those long metal things which connect it to the middle part of the wheel. (Don't know the technical names) how do you get around all that.

    Sorry if these are stupid questions!!!

  8. Yeah, I want blue but haven't found that, so I'll settle for red or green, but I guess it's a bad idea then... <_<

    If I got electrical tape, or any kind of tape, how would you go about putting it on?
