p_ruskin Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Onza are very good never rode a Pro, but it seems decent spec.for the money. I would say spend a bit more though and go for Blade/Comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Onza pro's are pretty good from what ive rode. Onza comps are meant to be pretty good too, look into either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurider2010 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I find tyhat Onza are a brand that can be underrated and overlooked in some cases. Most Onzas are brilliant spec and quality for the money you pay. Favourites include the 2010 Pro, Blade and Comp for starting out on. The Pro comes with reasonably powerfull cable disc brakes as standard, good for beginner to intermediate riders such as yourself. The frame also includes 4 bolt mounts for magura should you wish to change as you progress. The Blade comes with rear Magura as standard, an improved wheelset and a higher quality frame, that uses onzas integrated chain tensioners that are a nice bonus too, over the chaintugs on the pro. The Comp comes with front and rear magura, the same frame as the blade but in a different colour and the same tension system as the blade. Wheelset is also good and the frame is quality too. Light, long lasting and good looking too, as well as riding brilliantly. Onzas to stay away from would be the Bird and the Rip, because all you will want to do is change further down the line. Buy either one of the three described and your on to a winner Edited January 4, 2011 by gurider2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Can you notice a lot of difference between cable disc's and the magura?

Cheers help Can you notice a lot of difference between cable disc's and the magura? Cheers For The Advice I found that the cable discs would be fine to learn on, offering reasonable power. I ran one on the front of my neon for around a year and held up ok, but I dont think I would trust it on the rear. Id say, get the blade, a decent set of pads to replave the standard magura blaks that come with it, and maybe a grind depending on the pad.

Cheers It depends really. It can be quite cheap if you are going to stick with the cheaper square taper bb and cranks, but would recommend buying a new isis crankset. Im running an onza isis bb, and Trialtech sport cranks. £85 and youl be sorted for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m not a hardcore rider anymore but I still prefer to be on the safe side with a reliable frame:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobsonONZAT-PRO Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 They are great bikes to start on to get the basic moves, i had one as my first bike and upgraded everything then finally changed the frame. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellingtj Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Pro is a good starting point but remember these bikes are built to a budget so some parts are not really up to the job. The most common problem is the bearing surfaces breaking up in the hubs especially the rear one. It would be worth obtaining this bike with a sealed bearing rear hub from the outset.

davey1991 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 The frame is god enough to be used by very experienced riders, there is no need to assume it will be a beginner frame just because it doesn't cost £500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshtp Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Very good, I have an older T-pro, from when it had a really nice spec, including Ltd Edition Green HS33's, and stuff. Lovely bike, and it's been great for learning on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
