RossMcd Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Brake booster and brake clamps will not fit on the back, you will need to get an EVO2 kit from magura to run hydraulic rim brakes. on the front it will be no problem. No point in getting a new bashplate as they are all basically the same and will get scratched and bashed anyway. to run adamant bars make sure you get an Echo stem so you are able to run them as the onza one has a smaller clamp diameter. To run a ffw setup with the adamant cranks and bach this will also require a new hub or a rear locked sprocket. Hope this proves alot of help to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 It'll look hideous. The bash plate also won't fit. If you buy a new crank, you will only need a sprocket, not the bash ring as well. And you will have to check if your current bottom bracket is not Square Taper, you need ISIS Taper.If you like gold, just buy some gold bars and be done with it.

neotropolis Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Why not just buy an Adamant A3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 With the price you will spend on upgrades, why not just get a better bike than the bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan-Trials Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 With the price you will spend on upgrades, why not just get a better bike than the bird.I agree if not why not just buy an adamant a3 frame off ebay for £160? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) It seems like you're a new rider, ignore what i'm saying if you're not.The new Onza Bird is a good looking bike. Possibly the nicest looking budget bike ever.Rather than upgrade the crap out of you're bike just get to grips with trials first. That bike pretty much as it is will be fine for you for about half a year. By then you'll have more of an understanding on what you need upgrading and don't, and how to fit it yourself too. It seems like you're just going after the adamant parts, most riders bikes are a mish mash of all sorts of different brands as they find for example one company can make a really good crank and the other a really good hub.Hang around the forum a lot too, you learn lots!So yeah, ride and upgrade as and when you need too.

Hope this proves alot of help to you t bird has magura mounts and vee mounts ontop, so u wont need a evo2 kit, and ull need a new stem if you want to run adamant bars.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David20 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 t bird has magura mounts and vee mounts ontop, so u wont need a evo2 kit, and ull need a new stem if you want to run adamant bars.MatThe bird doesn't.But yeah, as JT said just wait till you get to grips with trials before you start upgrading. When it does come to ugrading though, first thing I'd reccomend doing is switching to front freewheel . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
