So did ride a 2007 onza t-pro but managed to get a 2013 onza bird frame for £15 so as has short back end and longer front so feels better on rear wheel. Not everyone's cup tea but will get me learning stuff again

so i have a spare rear wheel and had a look at at other day and wasnt sure if it a better wheel then what on the bike now. any help be good.
one on bike has small holes in rim and looks like a onza unsealed hub. the spare is a solid onza rim and a flip flop trials tech hub that looks like it a sealed one.

Perfectly normal, it's really hard to machine threads exactly perpendicular to the axle (for cheap anyway) and that wobble isn't actually the freewheel, just the slightly off centre threads on the cranks...nothing to worry about
cheers was worried broke it

my freewheel seems to wobble. i have used diff bottom bracket cracks are tight nothing feels lose all seems to ride fine just can see it wobble. i have put video up to see what is wrong

as weather not been great here i have been watching alot of trials videos on youtube to get ideas on bits for my back garden course and watching how people ride. now i have noticed alot of people dont hold their front brake while on back wheel for side hops, gaps or drops. when i rode 13 years ago we would always lock the front brake to. is there any benifit to letting front wheel spin free or is it just down to how that rider rides??????

here picture of old flat bar setup
here picture of new bar and stem setup. seems feel nicer to ride but will see when go for longer ride

Some time ago I went over to a 17T 108 Bonz freewheel. It felt like something was badly wrong. Counted 72 engagement points
Replaced it for a Jitsie 108 and that feels absolutely brilliant now (it's a fantastic freewheel BTW).
I guess this will differ between riders and especially riding styles but personally I find there to be a huge gap between the 72 and 108. In fact, for the first few minutes after switching to the 108 I was putting too much rotation into the rear wheel on gaps. But where it really comes into play is if you limit the use of brakes through balance and drivetrain load. You want to be able to operate the drivetrain as finely as possible and it's so much easier with 108 engagements.
see that the freewheel i wnt to get. im finding it hard to do gaps i did when had a stock echo with chris king rear hub. thats why thinking a 108 click free wheel wud help more then a 60 click

Try filming yourself. Typically what you think you are doing and what you are actually doing are very different. If you know what a good pedal kick should look like you can watch and pretty quickly figure out what you need to do better.
If your brave you can even post it and ask for criticism.
mite do that and try slow mo it if i can then can see what im doing and not doing

freewheel wont make a huge difference, as long as your chain has an alright tension. it really is a case of exaggerated movements, compress more before you take off, tuck more in the air, and one thing i found is that dont pull your brake until just before the wheel lands- when the wheel is locked its hard to move the bike around in the air with your legs, with it unlocked you can tuck and extend more to make the gap.
and also, hard to explain, but if you take off with the mindset of jumping further than the gap actually is, when you land it you feel further over the bike and dont have the "im leaning back too far, i have to jump off backwards" thing.
you could also turn your bike, dont take off dead straight- if youre right foot forward, when youre on the back wheel on the takeoff, turn the bike to the right a little bit so you take off slightly sideways. gives you more room to manoeuvre.

Drop your hip toward the back tyre to compress and preload
Make sure you drop the front wheel.
Pickup in the air.
Extend your legs to absorb the impact.
Aim past the edge of the wall ; aim to land on top not against the edge.
not blaming bike just didnt know if a 108 click freewheel will help more then a 60 click one. when weather drys up bit will be making a gap in back garden with the pallets i have. would running lower psi in rear tyre help also??? going try everything you have all said and see how i get on. thanks for the help

last night went street riding on my onza t-pro. it has a tensile 60click freewheel. found a gap just over 6ft but i just couldnt seem to get it across. i would hit it but not enuff to stay on it. now is there away of getting bike to go further ( i know more lower front and pull hard ment to help ) that i can try. also wud going to a 72 click or even a 108 click freewheel help out loads more. any advice wud be great.

mine and step sons bikes

im turning 31 in few weeks and im getting back into trials after 13 years off a trials bike
-
these our mine and step sons bikes. his is the black onza tyke. he only starting out so will upgrade bike as he gets better. mine is the red onza t-pro. not done much to it just replaced worn parts. been off a trials bike for 13 years and rode stock but as did bmx for so long this bike seems do its job. thinking of getting the same bars and stem that on the black bike for mine and maybe a half link chain so can push my rear wheel in further

Hi Craig,
I've just started riding again and live in Lynton. A friend of mine from Barnstaple also rides, and my brother who lives near Bude rides.
We're planning on riding at Westward Ho this Thursday evening is you fancy it. We'll also be riding Barnstaple / Lynton regularly as well.
Cheers,
Joe
