Sucram Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 hi ive got and onza t pro and as its nearly christmas i thought of getting a front disk setup. i have a standard t pro so obviously need disk forks, disk hub. do you think this would be a good thing to do and worth the money, if so which would be the cheapest but still very good setup to buy? cheers marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) I did it with mine. To be honest, its not worth it over a magura front. Theres no real difference. However, its good for adding value to a bike and also looks. Edited October 26, 2006 by anzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucram Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 yeah cus its going to cost like 250 quid so i might get nu stem + handle bars some pads and some clothes for xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetrials06 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I would definitely do it, id have echo forks and hub on a try all rim with a hope mono trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) I think that if you have the money it's a worthwhile upgrade The main difference that you'll feel is the fork, a new one will be much lighter than the onza original and so make backwheel maneuvers easier. the fork i suggest is the echo lite '07 - it's great value. For you front wheel I think that either the hope XC or Pro 2 will do depending on your budget. Both come with disk mounts and look bling . A nice rim is the echo '07. Finally, the disk brake I would go for if i was you is the avid ball bearing 7. Not only is it half the price of some other brakes, it also outperforms many of them! At the end of the day it's up to personal preference, but these components are good choices and will make quite a difference to how your bike looks and performs.EDIT Oh, i didn't realise you still had the original bars and stem. If i were you i would put the disk brake upgrade on hold and look at bars and stem. They will make a bigger difference for alot less money Edited October 28, 2006 by ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-OM Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) I no they might be a bit expensive but I would go for a magura louise i have one on my t-mag and its great. you'll have no trouble breaking but you also have no problem going over the bars if your not carefull with it Edited October 28, 2006 by T-OM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
