Cheers mate, and yeh i suspec there probably was but i love the feel of it too much to scrap the brake lol Thanks for you comments
-
Hey, i've got a Magura Marta, was a gorgeous disc until i caught the lever on a bollard when i forgot the width of my riser bars (by the way, scaffolding on pavements should be banned ) so i've got a lovely snapped lever
I've looked around a bit but i can't seem to find any info or levers that would fit for sure, anyone have any suggestions please feel free to write away
Cheers

GET RID OF THAT 22T !!
the general gearing for most average riders is 12 on the rear, 18 front, works for me, CLS and most other people
Have a look in the f/s section there's some bargains on ENO freewheels, if you can bag yourself one of those you'll be sorted, if not the Tensile's are the next best thing as the 108.2 Monty ones explode with too may engagements and the try-all one's skip (i think ).
Hope that helps a bit

Hi yeah there isn't one, the 2007 Onza's are a t-vee t-bird t-pro and a t-comp
Yup, bang on, but the T-Comp is just an '06 T-Pro frame in blue, bit of a cop-off onza
...saying that the T-Pro was a pretty solid starter bike so it look's pretty good for £420.00

I have a few anonymous questions?
1. is chris king a real person? has anyone seen him?
2. What does GU stand for?
3. is CZAR a russian make?
4. I've heard that citrus pads disintegrate, and heatsinks melt is this true?
5. Any good suggestions for bleeding your brake with apart from water? i thought of WD-40 or Anti freeze
1. Im not sure who has seen him but i'm pretty sure it was a dude that created the company in the 40's .
2. haven't got a clue mate !
3. Nope, they're part of the ZOO!, Adamant, Echo group in China
4.I run citrus pads and i love 'em ! I'm not too sure about the heatsink's but i can't imagine they do
5.Water is always the easist one to go for, WD40 is an accident waiting to happen, if you get yourself a bit of clear hose you can put some food dye in with the water to match your color scheme, looks pretty fly

mod/stock shouldn't make a difference, infact mod rims are stronger than stock rims (of the same brand) what with them being smaller it's harder to kill them, i can't explain it but it makes sence in my head
Yeah I know what you mean, they're not as tall so they flex less=they're stronger, but I just got an Echo '07 wheelbuild and its soo nice, the new hubs are smooth as silk and the allen key hole goes striaght through the whle hub not just the nut on the outside of the frame so you CAN'T round the buggers off. The rim has koxx sized holes so its a lot stronger than the '06 rim, deffinately go for it mate

my bike i'm not sure bout the yellow but got it for cheap cheap so its all good.
[attachmentid=7168]
[attachmentid=7169]
Got ZOO bars on now so it rides well better. looking to sell it though fancy a change.
Lovely bike mate love the color, pretty rare you see a bike as unique as that !
Im really interested if it's still up for grabs, i've got a custom T-Mag so maybe you'd fancy a swap ?
Cheers, oh and u can add me on MSN onzadude@yahoo.co.uk if that'd be easier
-
This is my new bike which is still a work in progress.
Lovely bike mate, the yellow's great, you can always find a black or polished frame, but not a luminous yellow one ! I'm really interested in buying it if it's still up for grabs, I've got a custom T-mag, don't know i'f you'd like 2 swap with a little cash to go with it on my end . If not how much would you be looking for ?

coulda been one funny bail on that bench but you nailed it in the end mate
wats this i hear about the Bunny's gone..forever ?!!
nice lil' movie mate, music goes quite strangely well with trials !
-
Hey, cheers for all your comments, the guy that said welding it up would help, I don't need it, it works fine (apart from the ridiculously low gear ratio !) I've got a new wheel build coming down, Echo '07 Blue rim, same hub and munity black spokes, gonna look mint
-
Heatsink blues are good, but personally I have found the new cheapie Onza citrus pads great couldn't believe they were outperforming pads nearly twice their price...

In theroy, one freewheel would have to engage, then the other one.
But in reality, one freewheeling device is always freer than the other one, so one freewheel would stay engaged, being a fixed cog.
So yeah it would work. Quite heavy and would have no advantages* but it would work.
* Well, if you got your trousers caught in your front freehweel, the rear one would start freewheeling and it'd save your jeans. But i wouldn't really call that an advantage.
Yeah i think you kinda hit the nail on the head. We only did it because we had no choice and it was quite fun to see working ! The gear is stupidly light though, 18-12 = 18-18 (2 freewheels) = . I'll try and get some photos up now. thanks for all your comments.
Right, signed uptp Photo bucket and im now officially a me , here's a few photos of my contraption...

Right i've got a bit of an interesting situation here. My s#*t rear onza hub went bang the other day so I was off riding for a bit until my mate Ben found an old wheel I could use. We took my wheel off, but we couldnt get the 12T cog off my wheel and we couldn't get the old freewheel off his wheel so we tried it with 2 freewheels. I was adament I was going to take one pedal and the whole thing would fall apart in a big metallic bang, I was completely wrong it works absolutely fine ! We were standing there trying to work out how it worked ?! all comments welcome and i can put some photos up if someone would enlighten me as to how to do it, can't figure it out .
Cheers

I've got a tensile myself and i bloody love it ! never skips, has never come loose and its great value, deffinately go for one. The pedals my mate got some and they are too grippy, u cant adjust your foot on the peadl without taking chunks out of your shoes ! I would go for eithe DMR V8's, or the Wellgo replicas, the V8's are £9 cheaper, and the wellgos are £22 cheaper, which would get you the heatsink blues for the front . the wellgos are decent, i have a pair and they have never gone even slightly wrong, the pins wear down quite quickly but to a certain point so you can adjust your foot, but not rip your shoes to shreads, hope that helps a bit mate !

That should just be it so give them a few days of heavy-ish riding and see how they are. If they're still crap try fiddling with 'em
-
Looks great ! perfect song, i use Lost Prophets quite a lot to good effect
That HAUGE wall gap by the sea was immense
Rinding is awesome keep it up lads
-
im in the same boat as you mate, is the maggie julie any good??
Yeh they're alrigh but i've got a louise FR which was great straight out of the box but i got it cheap, i would never spend the full price on it. The new avids and Hayes mech brakes are just as good and a LOT easier to fix, fiddle and tweak
-
Great photos ! not one...but 2 thumbs up mate Love the editing you've done aswell, wait 2 see some more ASAP
-
thanks for your help mate, if u have MSN drpo me a line with ur addy so we can talk a bit better than on forum I tried a python and they're lovely but a bit uncomfortable for some reason. I haven't tried a Gu but they look right up my street, just waitin for Ben to get his so i can see just how high the BB rise is on them.
-
I've got blue ZOO!'s and i bloody love 'em, the echo bars are too much like the classic onza "wrist-snappers" where as the zoo's are flatter and give a lot nicer riding position.
! Maggie Marta Lever ! Help !

Aha ! cheers boss, i'l deffinately look into a Shimano or equally strong lever boby, thanks for all your help
