cheers bud will do

ive used the bike a few times now trying out various things (track stands, pedal along curb, rear wheel hops, bunny hops)and the only things that i have a few issues with is the chain being sloppy and bashing the frame (will buy a frame protector). Also need to fettle the front disc setup a little more so it bites a little harder. The final issue i have is with the gear mech in that im struggling to set it up so that all the gears are selectable (will probly take this to a bike shop for the to set up) also it a grip shift system which has already managed to wear a hole in my thumb through my glove! ps i think i will keep it geard and just have it set up better. cheers for the input guys

thanks for the replys guys. I enjoy riding the bike and i just wanted to make sure i had it set up correctly so im not put off riding thinking i cant learn anything becasue the bike isnt playing ball

Think the rims are already ground ( feal rough when running figers across it ) Definatly doesnt have flat bars otherwise i would change those first. Think i will stick with the gears for a couple of weeks just while im practising the basics

Hi all, been lurking on the forum for a while learning bits and pieces waiting for my bike to arrive. It arrived today so thought i'd sign up! anyway ive started off cheap and cheerful by buying an onza cleaner 26" (accept i could have got a better bike by shopping around for a 2nd hand one but im a sucker for the new and shiney ) have a couple of question regarding my current setup; It has a hs33 on the rear so am i right in thinking some heatsink pads would be an improvement? The chain feels sloppy when hopping, will removing a few links sort this issue? cheers
