  1. well on my bike there is no spider in the fork tube because it has the onza screw fork thing. so it has an allan key hole that is in the perfect place. i am just wondering, is a disc brake hose thicker than a magura hose?? my magura hose fits perfectly down the allan hole and perfectly out the other end. if a dischose is the same it should work. The only porblem i face is that on ezxiting the forks the gap is very tight etween the tyre and the forks (so the hose may have to be bent quite a lot) other option is drillinjg the forks.....does the structure of forks get worse if i where to drill them?? i would drill out the front of the forks. any ideas.
  2. today i learned to do a flatland tailwhip on my new onza zoot. am soooo pleased its frikkin awesome. anyways i forgot to turn my bar back before doin it again, and presto (in a bad way) i snapped my maggie brake hose. i need to know if i can feed the new hose down the middle of the forks (like bmx riders have) and then attach it like that (so that the brake hoses wont tangle). is it possible with an hs33?? i may get a disc brake....can i do this with a front disc brake? this is only for the front brake but hopefully it will mean i wont snap it again. any problems that may occur??? any helped would be appreciated boys
  3. thanks for the replies, bloomin fast. yeah....i meant suspension forks. im not exactly a novice at biking, just pedal hopping. i can do stuff like:180 endo, 180 endo drop off, back hop, manual and now pedal hop. i see that having no suspension helps because 180 endos are sooo easy now. but manualing is a chore because u have to yank on the bars so hard to get to the sweet spot, then all of a sudden it over balances..... i'll carry on using one finger because its so easy and 2 fingers is vertually imposible because my hand comes off the bar!! thanks
  4. well i just bought an onza zoot. yesterday i couldn't pedal hop, then as soon as i got my new bike i could. the reason i can now is because of the brakes nothin else. i was just wondering do most riders use 1 or 2 fingers to pedal hop?? with my new bike (maggies) i can use one finger to lock the brakes becuase they are so poerfull and hydraulic. the problem i am now having is that after landing a pedal hop my back brake sometimes gives out (because i can't hold it hard enough).............any tips?? should i be using 2 fingers?? he other question is why do trials bikes have no forks, i hate the hard feel of having no forks and dont see any benefit. is there any 24" suspension forks with 80mm or less of travel and maggie mounts (or disc mounts)????? cheers guys, this is my first post....
