Well i quite new to trials ive ridden my mat Dans Zona and i really like it, But would prefer it that little bit shorter.Any deng frame from around 05-08 should be ideal. Have a scoot around the for sale section, usually a few bargains to be had....
Is it going to be strong?The new CLS Onza frame. Dont know when it will be out though.
How long is it?
And is it fairly light?
And if its not out yet no one has any reviews.

i currently ride an onza t-pro but im looking at getting a new frame. I would like something fairly light but very stong as im a basher and a very hard rider, And fairly long. Any ideas.
Thanks Nathan.

In all fairness the amount of abuse that has taken, It could probaly do with a rebuild.to be honest i have no idea, i built the wheel a couple of years ago in the only standard pattern i knew. I'll check it out in a bit. i think it just need rebuilding with new spokes. -
Hi there, when people say both, does this mean grinded rims and tar, or one of each on the front and back.
Both grinded rim and tar ;-).

Sorry for all of the ?'s. I just need to join pretty soon.
I have been on this forum for give or take 5 days. The stickys tell you near on everything you need to know to become a member. And im sorry if you think im rude by saying this, but by writing these threads your not doing yourself any favours. And I highly doubt you will become a member any quicker, If any thing it will take longer.

What chains are you using? How long do they last? Is you chainline spot on? How worn are your sprockets? How tight do you have your chain tensioned? And where are they snapping, on the link you joined them with, quicklink?
I think its a kmc of hand, Not a kool. And my chain line is near on. The freewheel is 6 days old. The back sprocket on the other hand, Your guess is as good as mine. And as for tension tight but not over the top, The chain is snapping via the links and pulling apart. Though I have been told no matter what type of biking I do, My riding style is very hard. As for using the brakes or chain on the back wheel, I mainly use the brake but I rely on them both. Also im sure using a freewheel with very few engagements, Probably dont help. Plus I dont use split links I dont trust them.
Thanks for all the posts so far, and Im also not worried about weight yet. I want a chain I can use durin a drop gap, and not have to think is this going to hold.

I have a big problem with snapping chains, What chains are good for trials. I know that kmc kool are used alot. But I was wondering if there are any others, That wil withstand alot of greif.
Thanks

Most people find Onza T-Pro's a good starter bike,
Yeah I totally agree. I've just started riding trials and ive got a T-Pro, I would recomend it to anyone.

It sort of an add on effect to your gearing choices. Such as longer cranks will give you better leverage but will give you lower ground clearance which on a bike which is already close to the ground could cause problems. so you have to find a balance between gearing and clearance.

Ive found riding on my own is good for honing what you've learnt, and / or learning your own way of doing whatever your learning at the time. Once u can do something well, just push one better. And try putting a thead up for people in or around your area! You never know your luck.

I don't think it is. Tar is an easy if not poor substitute for a poor brake set up. A properly set up brake, with a decent grind and a good set of pads will always out perform tar.
So basiclly what your saying is that tar works but not well? And looking across the page near on everyone agrees a good grind works well! So should'nt the two work really well together. Ive recently brought an onza tpro with both grind and tar and as of yet not had no problems.
-
Ok thanks ill look into that then! But while were on the subject of parts, a strong pair of chain tensioners or does it not make much of a diffrence.
-
both seems to work well i had them both on there when i got it and it hasnt really slipped much
-
bearing in mind i havent been riding trials long i ride a tpro and i seem to be learning very quickly and its a very nice to ride hopefully thats helpful
