  1. Yes I know.My local bike shop put the valve through one of the other holes of the rims when they build my rear wheel.Bet they hadn't seen a rim with holes before
  2. I could go with the phase 1.1 as the price is very close to the Onza Cleaner but I prefered the Onza: I believe the Onza's frame is much better...hydroformed downtube,3 tubes welded with the BB which means a stiffer and stronger frame. As for the components...they have not so many differences.The only difference I noticed is that the phase has maguras front and rear,Shimano components and undrilled rims if I'm not mistaken. I liked the look of the Cleaner much more so I decided to buy it. I have not ridden a MAD so I don't know if it's better.You know much more about trials brands and bikes though for sure (My bike it's the only trials bike I have ridden ) Thanks for the comments
  3. I am in the same condition as you. I am the only who rides trials in my town so I ride alone. It's more difficult to learn this way so I watch videos and try to copy the moves like you. I always wanted someone to teach me how to sidehop correctly!!! Just don't quit man.Try and try again until you are satisfied with yourself and your riding. Hope you'll get over it.
  4. Yes you are right.The bike weights around 11.5-12kg.It was heavier when I bought it but I saved some weight by going to singlespeed.If I'm not mistaken the forks are steel. The weight is not a problem for me because I ride only urban and want my bike to be strong.That's why I bought the Tensile brake booster (no holes,but the strongest out there) I think that the weight doesn't play a significant role when you are learning a move.And as a begginer rider I'm still learning...so I think I would go with lighter parts later. The frame is one of the strongest out there too if I'm not mistaken (it's the evolution of the t-rex) Thanks for the comment!
  5. Yes they are the stiffiest and strongest out there!And they give outstanding power to the brake too!Try one if you don't care about the weight. Thanks to everyone about the comments.
  6. I really enjoy the bike thanks!!! As for the cranks,forks and tires...they will be changed with something better like ISIS cranks and BB,Trialtech forks and Maxxis Tires... These are good for now as I'm not so experienced.

  8. I hate braking stuff and generaly damage my bike.I try to ride as smooth as I can but sometimes I just can't ride smoothly during the learning session of a new move.
  9. Very nice video!!!Outstanding riding from both Anderi and Joe! Please upload it somewhere to be downloadable!!!
  10. I believe that these rims are not overpriced and I would definately buy one ore two for my bike. I think that Onza wouldn't price these rims so high if they were like all the other rims on the market. You pay if you want quality.I think that these rims will be approved to be some of the strongest and 'long-lasting' rims out there.
  11. Really nice bikes!!!! I loved the way they look and the new colour schemes too! Brake setup combinations are a great choice! Well done!!!
  12. Nice riding!!! Nice pics too but the watermarks are disturbing
  13. Thanks for the information...I will stay away from Deng hubs and try to get my hands on a Hope Pro... If I'm lucky enough my local shop can bring one to me as they told me that they have Hope Disk-brakes (I think that means that they can order any Hope product)...If they can order me one I think that I can give more money to buy a new one (only if it costs under 130£ though)... If not,then I hope I can find something in the ''for sale'' section of the forum around the price I told before (50-70£) Many thanks to all of you!
  14. Hello everyone... I am going to buy a new hub and I want to know what's your opinion on some of the most known in here... Until now I have in mind these:the Hope Pro 2 07' and the Deng Freehubs (GU,ECHO,ZOO,ADAMANT)(135mm) I'm not an experienced rider but I must buy a new hub because my old one needs change and it's not safe to ride with it... I want something reliable first,with good strengh.And of course with a lot of engegement points (my old one had around 30+ I think.It was working nice for my level of riding but I prefer to buy something with more engegement points like the Hope Pro) I can spend around 50-70£... If you have another hub in mind that is good for trials riding and you have tested them please let me know... And if anyone has a hub that he don't need anymore but still works fine please inform me...The less used the better of course.
  15. I personally ride with Onza Shin Dig.They are a little heavier than a pair of caged pedals but they offer very nice grip. (I use shin pads because they really do what their name says sometimes)
  16. Finally...My local shop told me that I need a new hub and I'm going to buy one...I think that a Hope Pro 2 it's a good choice because I can't afford a Chris King yet and I think that I don't need one for my level of riding... And they promised to build my wheel fast too :thumbsup:
  17. I ride nearly one year but olny 6 months on a proper trials bike... What ''ASBO'' means?(Sorry but I haven't heard it before...) In the last picture my friend was playing with the camera's effects...
  18. I'm 16 and in the same bad position...
  19. It is an Onza Freehub (I don't know exactly the model.It's the hub that I bought the bike with). It has around 30-35 engagement points I think and a freehub body large enough for a 6-speed cassete. I know that is not a good hub but it was working nice for my level of riding. The hub is like this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=20 but it's the rear version... If there is something that I can do to keep riding with this hub safely,please tell me because my parents won't let me buy a new better hub despite I have the money (they are against trials and they will be happy if I'm not riding ) If not please tell me if something like this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=148 will work better And another question:have I any chance of building a wheel properly (I haven't build one until now) only by reading a manual and watch how-to videos? (My local shop will make a month and more to build it and I can't wait over a month without riding)
  20. Hi everyone. During my last ride my hub started making a sound like a clock ticking.I also noticed that when I was riding without pedaling something inside the hub was ''hitting'' and shaking the whole bike a little (I felt this little shaking to my legs)... When I returned home I removed my back wheel and noticed that when I try to turn the spocket attached to the freehub body backwards, it sometimes stuck a little and makes that noise. The only thing I know is that the problem is somewhere in the freehub body because my axle is not broken or dented and the bearings run smoothly... Is there any way to fix that?
