ibi123 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) I have got an old onza t-pro model (2002 I think), its one of the old ones so I need some sort of block to fit maguras. I am in the process of fitting hs33s.I was wondering if it's worth buying a new frame, which is enviable then fitting the brakes on to that. The only problem is that I will have to get a need isis bottom bracket because I had to like hammer mining in the first few threads, and I don’t think it will come out.In short- shall I buy frame now and buy new bottom bracket or shall I not get a new frame at all and just get some blocks to fit maguras.O yea and another problem I have is my bb/cranks make a clanging sound when they go round. I have a monty ISIS BB and Zoo cranks. When they are tightened up they have no feelable movement, but when the nut is out there is a tiny bit of give in it. Do I need new BB or cranks?

=)zoo python Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Can you feel it in the cranks when they go round if you pedal slow? If so thats what mine does, i just gave it a good spray of wd40 and it seems fine now. I think some sand or grit got in mine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Trials Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) I dont get how, you have HS33 mounts i dont get this block your talking about?EDIT: The grey one on mount furthest to back? Ive never even seen that before fi thats what your talking about Edited November 8, 2007 by Ashkwil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibi123 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Il try and explain. See the 2 raised bocks welded on the frame on my avatar. The four bolt clamps do not reach across to the onther block. However I have four holes at the back( right side only) two on the raised blocks welded on and 2 lower holes in between them. I need a block to raise one of the inside holes so the four bolt clamps will reach.Get me?Look at the bike in this picturehttp://www.onza.com/bikes/stock/traptorle1600.jpgI have the same mounts as that and notice it has maguras on it which do not reach across.

bollo you ball-bag Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 well first things first. i think your frame has adjustable mounts so that you can run either a 19 or 20 inch rim. what brakes did you have on your frame before u got ur maguras? also if you were using a vee break then you will have to remove the vee brake adaptors. by the looks of ur display picture your frame does have 4 bolt mounts so you will need them if they didnt come with them. have a look on tartys.secondly your cranks. my first thaught is that you have stripped the initial threads of your frame. this would allow the bottom bracket to rock slightly while riding but you wouldnt be able to feel it with just your hands as it will only rock when a substantial weight is put on it. there are many other things this noise could be.it could be your crank arms hitting on ur frame slightly. your bearings could also be worn in your bb. how long have you haf it? i did enineering at college and hammering into threads is a terrible idea what possesed u? silly boy. to get ur bb out pour boiling water over the bb area this should expand the alloy frame slightly and try taking bb out while frame is as hot as possible. post a picture of your brakes and your frame mounts if you can.cheersloz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollo you ball-bag Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 aaaaahhhh i seeall you need to do is put a space onto the 2nd hole up from the bottom and put a long bolt through. i find old bolts work well as spacers loland put the brake clamps on top of the spacershope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibi123 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 It's called a blocky thingy, anyway do you think worth getting a new frame. The t-pro is nackered as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Trials Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Get a bit of metal. drill a hole through bigger than bolt. cut it so it slots in and the bolt should reach through to frame.Or find some washers that will fit in there and stack them up.

ibi123 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 It could work, although the bolt could snap due to not enough support from the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollo you ball-bag Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 the bolt shouldnt snap. bolts are very strong and made ot of low carbon steel mainly so that they can flex.and well if the tpro is knackered a new frame sounds good lol. plus everyone likes a change. to be honest imm nore of a 26 inch man lol.u thort about maybe an echo lite? theyre really nice frames and not too expenive.
