Harris Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Id think about changing to a rear magura, and also I'd change the bar and stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC123 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) I havent really been riding trials that long, mostly been riding bmx. What hydraulic rear disk would you recommend?Dont listen to that above quote. They do not f**k up after abit of riding. I advise you to just to get an avid lever and you are sorted mate. The onza brakes are really good as they are duel pull (both pads move, rather than one).Get new rims, bars, stem and forks and you are game, mate. Monty bars and stem:)http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...category_id=138http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=29http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=13 (I have heard many good things about these forks.)

Connor Powell Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Change of forks, bars and stem and your sorted, maybe some avid sd7 levers for more comfort.Forks, i would go with echo lights, best forks i had on my mod.Stem, Something with a bit of rise, (low front end set ups are shit).Bars, you want risers, Rockman riser, Try-all rage, Monty 221 ti, although i would reccomend trialtech riser bars.

L Plate Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) I've heard on many occasions that the cable disks on onza's are suprisingly good, aparently they hold pretty well, so dont listen to anyone else who says different. Firstly ride your bike then if you find the brakes arent upto it you can easily upgrade to hydro disks.

pogo Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Rear magura for one then just feel what needs to be upgraded, it might suit you as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackC123 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Duel pull a, how does that work out of interest; getting one cable to make two pads move? Please explain Duel pull - both pads moveSingle pull (most brakes on the market) - one pad moves whilst the other is static and this also slighty flexes the rotor. Wow just realised I have posted afew replies not being a complete titwank to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybingle Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi If i was you i would just get different bars, stem and forks. I got an Onza blade for christmas 2008 and i got new bars stem and forks and it seemed to ride really nice.Hope i helped Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow just realised I have posted afew replies not being a complete titwank to anyone. Yer I get that it would move both pads but how? You would need two arms on the caliper to get both pads to move at the same time wouldn't you? A hydraulic brake uses the fluid to push both pad but I don't get how a cable brake could achieve this duel movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 ignoar every one in this post......People cant really say what needs upgrading yet.......ride the bike for a good 2/3 months......get a real feel for trialsthen you may find the stems to long or bars not enough rise ect ectrims forks and brakes are all fine untill you need more strength and power in the components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-bird tom Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah like Dave said only get new parts when you really need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza boy27 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would update the brakes (not really necessary), grips (for sure) pedals are not very good new back wheel and a stem (echo).Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
