stobydale Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just bought an Onza T-Mag but it needs a bit of work. Apart from Tarty bikes and this forum is there any other shops and forums for newby riders? I need new tyres, tubes, rim tapes a back brake, hopefully an Hs33 bar grips and a chain. Wow, the bike doesn't apppear to be the bargain that I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selectbikes.com is cheap but tartybikes do a price match so no matter what they are the best and very safe you better off saving you money and ordering from them because you no you will get what you ordered and you will get it on time.

stobydale Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi, Thanks for the replys. Trials bikes and accessories does seem to be quite a nich market. Although new to trials I am not new to cycling and have been road racing and doing the odd club time trial for a few years. Over that time I have found and used many shops, on line suppliers and web forums. I do not have any problems with Tartybikes and do have some stuff in the basket that I will be buying. It's always nice to have several shops to browse through because genrally you find that someone has something on a special offer or a close out deal, but also if there are more suppliers the prices tend to fall.I started this topic after having very little success searching around for tyres. 20" tyres seem to be readily available from most bike shops but the 19" rear seem to be somewhat elusive.Could lead to another topic? Are Creepy Crawlers the way to go? Or are there other better/ cheaper alternatives?Cheers,Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, it's not like they're Trials-UK......DitoSelect Bikes have been very good to me too. There's also www.trialsman.co.uk , I've had no problems from them either.

BlueSmokeyJoe Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Are Creepy Crawlers the way to go? Or are there other better/ cheaper alternatives?Cheers,Stu.Yeah, you'll find there aren't really any 'normal' shops that carry trials stuff. The only shop I've known of is the lbs who thought they were quite specialised in trials because they sold Mission Prodigy's . As mentioned, the main sites are Tartybikes, Selectbikes, Trialsman and Heatsinkbikes who sell other parts from just brake pads. Of course, ebay is another avenue where bargains can be found, as well as the for sale section on this site.As for the Creepy Crawlers, they're the best all round mod tyre when considering, cost, wear life and feel. I currently run a front Creepy Crawler and a rear Monty Eagle Claw. The Eagle Claw feels a bit better than the Creepy as it's more bouncy, but they are a good tenner more! The best mod tyre set up is regarded as a front Tryall and a rear Monty, but this is a fair bit more money than dual Creepy's and will no doubt wear down quicker!Hope I've helped .
