the_virtua_striker Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hi! I used to be a member here almost 15 years ago and haven't ridden trials since. Used to ride with the regulars meeting every Sunday at Shell Centre (Southbank), and my last bike was a custom build stock Koxx XTP which I wish i didn't sell but hey ho. Recently picked up an old style Onza T-Master mod for peanuts complete with a set of HS33s but it's full of issues but happy to get to work on it. Just looking to mess about really. Anyone got any tips for the following: HS33 rear has been bled and a new crossover line put in as it was split. However its still spongy as hell... Even after careful bleeding three times. I think the rear wheel on it is 20inch, so I can't get the brakes to line up properly without the axle being pushed too far to the end of the dropout, hence the chain tugs are hanging off. Anyone got a 19" rear wheel and tyre for sale? Cheaper the better really. The freewheel has to be changed, I've seen a jitsie 72 on ebay for 40 quid. Are these any good? Once these bits are done I'm good. Any advice or bits for sale are appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natmangee Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Yo. I can help you here... i've got an onza rip full bike that i need to get rid of. All i want is the hs33's off it. It's got a ska 19" rear wheel and a fairly new, hardly ridden echo sl freewheel 108 click(may have been left in rain for a while). I'm happy to get rid of it stupid cheap, like 50 quid all in plus postage. Let me take some pics tomorrow and see what you think, theres a pile of decent parts on it, i just hate it, and need the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_virtua_striker Posted August 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Nice mate. Where you based? I'll collect. I took the HS33 completely apart. Scrubbed it down, pumped hot soapy water through the lot, replaced all of the hoses and rebled. It's better but now I think alot of the sponge is actually frame flex. It's pretty bad.

Brettoll Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Can you stick a booster on it to try and counter the flex? Is the frame 2 or 4 bolt, as I have a 4 bolt booster you can have for postage.. Edit: Just googled - it's 2 bolt mounts. Will have a look and see if I have a 2 bolt somewhere that might help Edited August 12, 2019 by Brettoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 You can still use a 4 bolt booster on a V brake frame if you want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought clearance was an issue with the vee lugs being further down the seatstay than the bottom 4bolt mount. Curious now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any bolts or spacers to attach the booster but willing to add on the cost if you have spares. I've attached a pic of the bike.... A work in progress!! The bike was in a total state. The rear brake was in complete bits due to the wheel clearly being 20 inch and totally misaligned. The freewheel is practically falling apart....

Shimano Carbon boosters by the way. A fortune on eBay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I know... Had naughty thought about mine, but then I don't think it'd get much as either Ali or Rich had drilled it out to 4bolt at some point in its life. Doubt people would want that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Oh. I think I bought mine off Rich Pearson, and at the time he said it was Ali's before his. Honestly... you think you know a booster, and then... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
