Hey man ...
I started out on an onza pro, and found the geometry of the bike was great and easy enough to learn on, but they just arent reliable what so ever.
So... its a matter of opinion i guess whether your willing to spend the money later on, on upgrading parts and that or spend up front and get a yes more expensive but more reliable bike.
i now have the GU Typhoon and the geometry is great and much more reliable and lighter as well i think (not sure if thats right but it definatley feels that way)
Anyways ... hope this helped in some way

trololololol, or you could just stay down south and be a f**king fag

If your brakes don't hold when you pull the lever as hard as you can with one finger, you need to sort out your brake...
I started with 2, got told to use 1 by another rider, and from then on I swore never to use 2 fingers again. And I got used to doing it, after I while I felt like the ride was so much better (and safer in a way) when you have more grip. So now I never use 2 fingers.
Just re-read that and it sounds so wrong...
hahahahahahaha.
Nice. And yeah i still use to fingers but have been told one feels much better. Smoother and safer with one finger
The way to go apparently. I will be converting as soon as.

Hey Luke, Good to hear another rider getting into trials.
Like people have said decide a size first but if choosing mod one thing i would say is dont get the onza pro. It was my first bike when i first started, and i literally had to tamper with it like every half hour when out riding and also constantly i had to buy parts to upgrade. Like i ended up with just the bars and frame. I changed both brakes completley, both wheels (not cheap), pedals, and before i got a new bike i was about to change bottom bracket and cranks.
I would just say its not worth it. Its a good starter bike for riding but rather expensive to maintain, seeing as your on a tight budget like me.
Hope this helped, and hope the other riders can give you a hint towards which bike.
Good luck!

Ace topic.

Interesting answers to be honest.
I was expecting alot more mainstream stuff. Thats sweet.
Yeah i tend to listen to one extreme or another. Like something chilled and nice and flowing, or something really heavy (your demise as said above or LIFERUINER.)
Interesting that people have such different riding songs. Also like said by Ben Swales, I normally only have it in on ear and not full blast.

Hey.
Just a curious post.
I was wondering what music people like to listen to when riding if any?
I love all music from blues to screamo to dub and chart. Everything and anything.
Please just comment what genres or bands/artists you like?
Be cool to find some new riding music
cheers

Hey,
I had the TR disc on my Onza (20") and like bigman said, its noting special. i bought the Echo TR rear wheel set up which came with the disc, and replaced it with hs33 rim brake and works a treat on that rim.
Amazing setup. but wouldnt recommend the TR disc setup to be honest.

What time were you thinking?

Yah too right I should but I had a hungry woman clinging to my arm desperate for Coke and Potato wedges! I'm more or less free every night after work and weekends as far as the eye can see. We need to find some more decent spots Manc and hopefully some away from the centre, which seems to be ridiculously busy any time of day!
HAHA, nice pal. Gotta keep your woman happy i guess
erm ... not too sure but add me on facebook pal, george1995@hotmail.com. (george powell) and we will sort something out soon. Dead right we need more riders round here. And definatley i know what you mean about the centre always being packed haha

I have changed the front to Echo Sl and rear to Echo Tr and on monday am changing to hydraulic rim brake and new freewheel.
Bike is running alot smoother and more reliable, and should be alot better again with the new freewheel and brakes. A lovely bike i think.
I run the 09 Pro btw.

Hey ... I ride Onza Pro.
I love the bike only thing i would recommend changing is the hubs or wheels. The back wasn't too bad but the front chewed up bearings. I have no swapped to closed bearing wheels and its a loving bike to ride.
I am changing the brakes to hydraulic rim from the disc it comes with but this is not necessary I dont think.
I am just doin it as its causing me problems but have seen many other riders riding the pro with discs with no problem.
Hope this helps mate.

Back wheel?
in Trials Chat
Posted
Hey there,
I have not been riding for a few months now and I am missing it loads. Want to start again but my back wheel won't let me. It buckled a while back. Simple job I straightened and re tightened it all (spokes and hub) soon as I drop off anything over about 2 feet it buckles again. I know people will say technique of landing but never had the problem before on other bikes wheels or this wheel. Is it time to admit defeat and buy a new back wheel? If so what would you recommend? To fit a GU typhoon?
Thanks
