  1. Being advertised as a Onza frame, and it looks bloody similar to one I've seen but I just can't remember the name of it
  2. Looking at buying a secondhand Onza Zoot Pro DD (built up from the frame kit) and apparently there's a tiny bit of play in the bottom bracket Could someone suggest a rough cost and an idea on what parts I'd need to buy if I was looking to sort this out? He says it rides fine and doesn't make any noises, but pointed out there was some play Many Thanks James
  3. Yep, it'll all get bashed around - just as long as it can take it haha As long as it's a decent starting platform, as you said earlier I can always upgrade bits as I go along if I find the need to!
  4. Thanks for that, just what I wanted to hear I thought it all seemed half decent or good, but wasn't sure on a couple of the bits such as the cranks, etc But then it's about 4 years since I've had a trials bike, and I didn't exactly know much then haha
  5. Looking to get back into trials, and try a 24" this time Found this for sale at £300, and just wondering what the spec is like? FRAME - Onza zoot pro WHEELS - Onza ultralight drilled rims with Hope Pro 2 SS trials rear hub and monty front hub (Ti Spokes) FORKS - Onza zoot pro street forksBARS - jitsie controll BREAKS - Avid Elixir 7 Trails (4pot) CRANKS - octane onePEDALS - Cant remember but they are grippy and rip your shins to bitsTYRES - front is a tioga small block and rear is a CHAIN - KMCSEAT - Federal black and red Some of the spec seems half decent, such as Zoot Pro Frame, Hope Pro 2 Rear Hub but unsure on stuff like the brakes and cranks? Can't say I've heard of either, although I am I complete beginner! Any help would be appreciated!
  6. Hi All, Just wondered whether you could use Avid Juicy 3's for Trials, or are they no good really? Thanks and ATB James
  7. Hi All, I am looking at a bike, but it has Onza Pro Square Taper Cranks, so I assume it has a Square Taper BB. I am interested in buying this bike, but will I have to upgrade it to ISIS BB and Cranks in the future or are Square Tapers fine? Thanks and ATB James
  8. Thanks for that Dave, I am tempted by the Zona! Thanks and ATB James
  9. Thanks all for the help. Unfortunately the Onza ended early, so didn't get a chance to have it. The Zona does have a pretty decent spec though, so I am still tempted......Hmm what to do
  10. Thanks all. What would be classed as a Short Wb and a Long Wb for a Mod? Also, I wonder why Adam @ Tartybikes says Mods with long Wb are often preferred for street?
  11. Thanks a lot man! Keep them coming lads!
  12. Hi Guys, What are the advantages and disadvantages of either? I know that Long Wheelbases are often favoured by Street Riders, but why? I am mainly talking about 20" Mods, but I am sure it is the same for all the sizes. Thanks and ATB James
  13. Thanks for that - Means a lot! Thanks for that - I'm sure I will hopefully! I have got the Adobe CS 5.5 Design Standard, so there are quite a few things to learn!
  14. Thanks for that. Yes I was wrong, it is a 'Onza Pro' (Not T-Pro), it is the same as this one : http://www.onza.com/v2/products/2009/pro/pro.html Do people still think the Zona will be better? Thanks and ATB
  15. Here's some from me : Light Trail (Portrait) by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Water by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Tilly HDR B&W by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Tilly HDR New by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Woodie by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Bike Picture 1 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Bike Picture 2 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Bike Picture 3 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Bike Picture 4 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Rally Kart - Edit 1 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Water Shot 2 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Some of my Photos. BTW, the first photo is actually a photo, as it was taken with a camera then edited. Haven't been doing Photography long, and don't have much time to take photos unfortunately due to school. Let me know what you think....
  16. Matthew, That is a huge help! I will probably start in Photoshop, as I do have to edit the photos a bit, then I'll go to Illustrator! Thanks a lot!!
  17. Cheers George! Looks like the Zona is the better bet then.... Thanks and ATB
  18. Thanks a lot! It will be a combination of Photos and Text. Ahh, so by doing the text in Illustrator it will allow people to select the text? Thanks and ATB James Thanks JD! I'll have to learn how to use Illustrator then! Thanks and ATB James
  19. Hi All, I need to make a PDF for someone, but I am unsure how to go about it, as I just realised that Acrobat Pro only creates PDF's from JPEG's or Documents - Not from scratch. Now I need to make a PDF which advertises the company, so I will want to put pictures, text in this PDF but in a professional way. (Not just plain text and pictures) How is the best way to go about this? Should I create a image in Photoshop then export it as a PDF? Or can I do what I want in Acrobat Pro? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks and ATB James
  20. Thanks for that! I am interested to hear peoples opinions on the HS33's Vs. Onza Pro Brakes! Thanks and ATB
  21. Hi Guys, Just a very quick question, which would you for out of the following : Onza Pro 2009, which has the standard Onza Pro Disc Brakes (which are Cable) fitted front and rear. Anyone know what they are like? OR Zona Zip, which has Maguras HS33 fitted both front and rear. Has Echo Rear Booster fitted. Both are in good condition (T-Pro would be slightly better condition, but not by much) and fully working. They are both the same price. I suppose the advantage of the T-Pro is that I could fit some Hydraulic Disc Brakes at a later date, but this would obviously cost more! Any advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks and ATB James Edit : It's a Onza 'Pro' not T-Pro, same as this one : http://www.onza.com/v2/products/2009/pro/pro.html
  22. Ok, thanks all! Think I have found one which seems to be very good value. Which parts should I upgrade first? Thanks and ATB James
  23. Thanks for that! That's good news! What would you say a decent price is for a very good/good condition Onza Zoot is? (Around 2010) Thanks and ATB Also, if anyone has anymore opinions/upgrades on the Zoot, Please let me know! Also, what booster would you recommend? Thanks
  24. Thank a lot Man!! That's a bid help! That makes me more tempted to get one, especially as it is fine for 'Trialsy' moves! Thanks again! Thanks again for the reply! I don't know how to lace wheels, but I am sure I could learn - or get a bike shop to do it for me. Do the forks accept Disc Brakes, or will I have to get new forks? Thanks and ATB
