Just thought I would introduce myself and my bikes ad I'm sure I will be asking for some advice in the future
I'm living in sunny Cornwall, and have recently purchased my first trial bike, a basic Onza Rip just to learn on and will upgrade as I need
It's pretty much stock at moment apart from upgraded pads but still V brakes, but will be hopefully upgrading at some point to HS11 or HS33
I am a big stocky bloke and my usual ride is a modified Voodoo Shango dirt jumper (upgraded crank and bearings, arms and DMR pedals, plus a 25t front instead of a 28t), and obviously has hydro discs both ends etc but the BB is very low which is ideal for single track and pumps etc but coupled with a heavy cromo frame and fork and enduro tyres, means its not ideal for back wheel hops etc!
So have been thinking about a trial bike for a while and took the plunge
I will be swapping out the slight worn and bent onza cage pedals for platforms either the DMR V8 or a set of Salt ones I have just as with size 13 feet they feel a bit nicer!
Only thing I need to replace on the onza soon is the BB as it has a little play in it
Are they a 68 x 120 BB on these? Square taper?
Seen a VP BC73 68 x 118 and 6x122.5 which should be close enough? (1mm or so shorter or longer each side so minimal difference to chain run?)
