Muel Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yeh, my bro has a new bike.It is basically a spec 2 T-Mag with a T-Lite frame.Spec:Frame: Onza T-Lite.Bashplate: Onza.Forks: Onza Smart Guy Shitters.Cranks: Tensile Minters. (Urban Legends?)Bottom Bracket: FSA Pro DH.Chain: KMC Kool.Freewheel: 18T Tensile.Headset: Onza Sealed Cartridge.Stem: T-Master.Handlebars: Onza Alloy Riser Bars.Front Brake: Magura Louise 180mmRear Brake: Black HS33, Citrus Pads, Tar, Tensile Offset Mounts. Front Wheel: Double Drilled Hog Rim/T-Master Hub.Rear Wheel: Hog Rim/T-Master Hub.Tyres: Maxxis Creepy Crawlers.It is sweet, all loverly and new, but the forks are waaayyyy too long, raising the bb to 68mm roughly, we measured it by me holding a plank level and my Dad measuring it. This also causes that head angle to be too slack and the bars too high.New forks ASAP and a booster. Thats it for now.Big shout out to Supercycles for building a bike and getting it delivered in two days, the only problem has been one of the rear hub bolts snapped in the axle when I was setting it up, so they have been replaced with High Tensile Steel ones. Ooo posh.Muel Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King C Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 looks pretty cool, even witht those forks.got an rb booster for sale aswell if you need one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 He is getting new forks first because these uber long ones are messing with the geo big time.He says he wants a helmet, shoes and a booster for xmas among other things, but as I pointed out, thats 4 months away.

Captain Scarlet Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Tis very nice, I suppose it is a starter bike, which is good as these are really easy on the back wheel.Just make sure it doesn't become too much of a harsh rider, the frames can be easy to damage. =DNice build, but I'd keep the forks if I was you, my friend had the same ones on his T-Lite, and he did good with them.

Muel Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 The forks are ruining the Geo, I have ridden one with echo teams and it was a lot nicer than this.That way he will be able to keep the stem he has, which is also far too high.The bb is 68mm. Even the new Koxx XTP is only 66mm. The head angle is also far to slack. It needs new forks, then it will be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 The forks make it look like a tank!AdamThe front end rides like one, they are about half a kilo too heavy according to Echo/Onza stats.Echo lites soon hopefully.Can anyone identify what model of Tensile cranks they are?

sidehop Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 cranks are tensile urban legends..Also nice bike.. Dosnt poopipe have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yes he does, he is trying to sell it if anyone wants to get in otuch with him. It is a T-Mag spec 1 spec with python forks I think.Thanks for the crank info, they are 170mm not 160mm but I like them and more importantly my brother does, and its his bike so that's all that matters.Good bike to start on? (Once the new forks have mended the geo), I thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
