JT!

I didn't do it to piss anyone off, I just don't really think things like this should be kept 'secret', i don't really see the point. If i were designing a a prototype frame i would be consulting TF 100% of the way. Besides if i didn't post it someone else would have. You've not exchanged msn details with your new sponsor who is helping you design a frame? I'd have said that would be one of the first things exchanged.

How are you connected to the internet? If you at home, can other people / computers sign on?

I want Partz sauce.

Yeah, why are Onza so bad at holding stuff back, it's like their new website a while back, the guy they hired put a 10% complete website on his portfolio for all to see. Now this. I wish I'd have downloaded it.

Huh? Oh, well not really I doubt anyone realized there was a link there.

Rubber on shoes is designed for walking on, rubber on tires are designed for riding on, they're two different things. It's like saying why not take the material from a disc pad, and use that in some magura backings and your brake will be like a disc!

It's either backwards, or forwards, i can never remember which freewheels have a reverse thread on their lockrings. I think the tensile is reverse to help prevent it from coming undone.

What, it's been taken down. HA!

I always found it easier to tighten when it's on the crank and or on the bike.

I don't know i was wondering about the plate, not the ring.

Yeah it's exactly the same as the pic in the other Onza thread, which is kinda funny because they were keeping the frame under wraps supposedly.

Better yet... Youtube Video -> Original Video O oh. Vids been taken down. Best i can do.

Doesn't look too long, but at least it has a disc mount. Will it be able to take a bash plate?

New Onza Proto.

Like i said, as far I was aware, i guess i'm not very aware. I read a post from a mod once saying how he just went to the bottom of the forum and looked for people with orange names, I guess that was a long time ago before the 'validation station'.

I've heard enough bad things about tensiles and try-alls to stick with an ENO. I'm not saying they're bad freewheels, but ENO's are soooo god damn good.

I'm riding dual disc and I'd never go back to anything now.

You seem to have gotten a little confused between the validation system and the reason why we banned forsale / wanted topic in NMC. The reason we stopped forsale / wanted topics is because someone could just come in here, pretend to sell and then run off with their money, however if they have to post a few times first it kind of builds their reputation up and are less likely to have the scammers be validated or put off by the wait time. I personally believe this isn't the reason, i was always under the impression that the real reason was because TF wanted to stop people from joining just to sell, and not posting anything else. The validation system is there not just to stop potential scammers, but to keep out people who are unable to but effort into their posts and use basic grammar and spelling etc. It's also there for pre-members to get to know the ropes and it keeps all the newbie questions in the same place, keeping the rest of the forum a higher quality. Everyone knows the validation system isn't perfect, you're obviously proof of that (I reported you to be validated), but I guess it's the best we've got and i can imagine it'll be constantly worked on.

Very well said, as far as I am aware, the mods go onto NMC every now and again, look at the bottom where you can see all the ornage names and pick them out randomly, check their posts and validate if they see fit. I brought up the idea of some flagging system ages ago. Something does need to be done about it, especially when people like you arn't validated, and people like the comment i made in random small questions about get validated in 7 posts of gibberish. I think he was referring to him posting very very little over time.

I can tell from that pic those dropouts are going to crack.

MSN goes down all the time, give it a few days and it'll be fine.

I read that too.

Haha ^ What really annoys me is when people say it's like going into a shop and stealing something. No, it's nothing like that, it's like going into a shop, picking up a magazine, taking a picture of every page and then reading what's on the pictures when you get home. I have never bought a CD in my life, and probably never will. Illegal download are what go me into music and certain bands anyway. I'd much rather be a musician that was earning 10 million a year, knowing that people were listening to my music illegally than earning 100 million a year knowing that some people aren't listening to my music because they didn't want to pay for it.
