The Supercycles work placement utterly dominated. Got to stay at someone who works at Onza's house for the week (which was pretty kind of him, considering I was supposed to be staying with Tart until 3 or 4 days before I left, so it was short notice for him), and we rode to work every day - apart from when we went in by bus. First day was:
Woken up, and given a cup of tea.
Shower 'n' stuff.
Leave for work.
Ride the 15-20 minutes to work.
Get there, meet people.
Say hi to everyone.
Check out some of the funny warranty returns (e.g. a T-Raptor that "has only been used for natural" with a shitload of brickdust in the chainstay gouges, etc.).
Have a quick play on some of the prototype bikes.
Check out all the cool bikes in stock.
Look at some fancy-ass components.
Put up some info on the 2004 Onza range on trials-forum.
Go to Co-Op for some bread.
Come back and have some soup.
Interview the mail-room staff, and check out the running of the shop.
Go for dinner at Subway.
Come back and eat the foot-long sub.
Check out trials-forum for a bit, and start writing up case study.
Have a quick play on the Woodstock prototype.
Mess about a bit.
Ride home.
Go out for a meal.
Meet some random friend of the guy who I was staying with, who was constantly high on medicinal cannabis.
Go home.
Read for a bit.
Go to sleep.
In the week that I was there:
Got my second T-Bone prototype frame.
Got a cheap T-Lite frame.
Got some free "cookie cutter" stem stackers.
Got to see a demo in the shop floor on the sleepers and spools by Gilles Coustellier, who happened to be there.
Got to get the news on Gilles being signed up to Onza before anyone else in the world ('cept for those present, obviously :P).
Developed a taste for Czech absynth.
Got to meet all the cool people at SuperCycles.
Wrote a 50 page long Case Study that got me an A at AS Level, which is carried over into my A2 level.
Learnt a lot about running a business.
Learnt a lot about how to 'work', and still have a good time.
It was a really good time. If you actually plan out where you're going to go (and try and go somewhere away from home), it's properly good.
Before you all start asking Onza for work placements though, I'm apparently the first person to get a work placement there, and from what I can remember, probably the last one they'll let go there...
Cooooool :P :) i wish :)
-
yes i was just about to ask about boosters to fit a saracen mad o4, ohhh and yeh evo mounts are crap and they flex like silly string lol.
Yep i have them on the front but this time next week i will be running a hope mini :) so i wont have to bother with them silly mounts the flex loads (Y)
I wont be getting a frame or forks with them mounts agian unless i am running disc on it.

Pads: Rimjam blues
Time used: 1 and a half months
Rim used: Sun ditch whitch
Grind: No
Ceraminc: Its a smooth black rim so (Yes/No)
Brake used: Magura 04
What is your opinion of a working brake: Some modulation, instant bite, holds really well.
How do they compare to previous pads you have used: The previous pads i used was magura pads and they are much much better !
Review:They are really good pads. I dont have a very good rear rim on becuase it is black and its really smooth so i think these pads will be even better with a bit of a grind on the rim which i will do soon. They take aaaagggeess to wear down aswell. (Y)
-
You could get the PX tibo if you don't want v mounts. It says the ali bongo is just aboutthe same as the tibo (Y)"

I hate evo mounts the flex loads. I have them on fatty r's. They are quite hard to set yup i thought :huh:
Anyway to save making another topic, what bolt booster fit on evo mounts ? And wehat booster ?
-

-
I just saw the perspex, and thought, i have nothing better to do (well except revision :P )
So i tried different designs on my bike, 3 hours later, you have a booster :huh:
Do you think it would weaken it a lot if i was to drill it?
Adam
I don't think it will weeken it at all ! I think that looks well cool (Y)
Put it on the back or make one for the back. Then it will be well good. DRILL IT !
