Hi all,
Whats the score with this wesite?
I made an order a while ago, not received anything, phone line doesnt work and they dont reply to emails.
Ive read a few things on here since, some people say there ok, alot more said there not
What have other people done in this situation?
Cheers Tom

I think if your new you should go for platforms.
I started out on the standard crappy onza caged pedals and i smashed them to peices and had half of it embedded in the back of my leg within a couple of weeks, they weren't grippy either. Most of the cages look very grippy now though, but still look easy to smash.
Im riding on some welgo magnesium's now with a pair of DC's. not had a shin dig so far
Also ridden on some DMR V8's, they were good and some Bontrager big earls, now the are monsters

well i got it stripped down today and found 4 of the 6 springs snapped, all bar one palws are slightly worn.
So i think ill buy a whole new free wheel as it comes to over £40 for all new springs pawls and bearings
Cheers for the help guys

Carnt comment on how the ride, but ive just bought a Viz front disc hub.
Wanted a Try-all 'H' 100 to match the rear but they dont have any in stock
-
cheers for the replies, ill get the tool to remove it, strip it down and have peek.
I guess one or the two the bearings are nakered as its abit wonky now, will check the ratchet and pawls aswell

Well my freewheel gave up today, started skipping quite abit. ive had the bike about a year and was planning to sell it on soon as im building up a Gu st.
Is it worth stripping the freewheel down and replacing bits or just getting a new'n?
Any advise would be great.
Cheers Tom

I dont think theres much between them to be honest.
I have an Onza pro with a hope rear disc brake, my mate has a Onza bird with maggies on the rear. i find them both similar in performance (but im not very good)
I'd vote for a hope mono trial, they look sweet, but dont get the pads contaminated with oil, personal experiance!

got Specialized sidewinder mountain bike grips, i ripped the stock onza ones to peices. SixSixOne Raji gloves.

i did this the other week... sanded my pads down, sanded my disk, and it took about a day to bed in again.
just be patient with it lol, i got really annoyed cause it kept slipping lol
It seemed to be fine today
got better as the day went on, and i rode round with it on to heat it up then stuck it in the fountain, worked a treat Ive got bigger issues now with blisters on my hands, might try some different bars in the future, got the onza carbon bars on there atm
-
Try burning the pads out on the hob of a gas cooker or with a blow torch, then sanding them down, then bedding it in again.
It'd also be a good idea to scrub the rotor to try and get it clean.
I like the sound of that, im going out in abit so ill see how she handles, if it doesnt improve ill go for the blow torch option and sanding them.
Cheers for the advise guys

Hi all,
I was practising tiny side hops up a ledge the other day and i missed it, which caught the banjo fitting and the bolt came loose so brake fluid went everywhere.
Sorted it out today, got it bled and cleaned the disc and pads up with some brake cleaner but its still a little slippy (not ridden it much) will it get better and bed in abit or will i need new pads?
Also if i do get new pads are there some decent ones to get?
Cheers Tom

im new to the sport but a picked up some onza carbon bars off ebay for £20, had to get a new stem as the bars are oversized, but they are loads lighter than stock on my onza pro. Carnt fault the bars so far, very happy with them.
