grant_hundley Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Onza zoot?http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=300Seem to be alright to learn on. The frame has pretty nice geo (similar to inspireds).Once you get better you might want to start changing the spec around. Personally I'd change the rear hub first to something such as a Hope pro2. But the standard spec will be perfect for a beginner as you won't put as much stress on the bike You also get some free bits off tarty if you buy the Zoot from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo_awp Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 why dont you get one 20'' Onza Pro or Yaabaa 649 ,or if you want that onza http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=10 that is only my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 why dont you get one 20'' Onza Pro or Yaabaa 649 ,Because he wants a 24 Don't blame you at all! Great bikes, the lot of them.If you want new, get the Zoot. Great bikes, ride nicely, and have loads of scope to be upgraded (sexymike on here has a pretty decent one for sale at the moment, £220)Or look in the classifieds for things such as Inspireds and 24uks. Also look out for Curtis', Leeson 609s and Ashton ET24s, but you'd be incredibly lucky to find any of the last three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its mark Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Cheers guys !! i have seen the zoot before ! nice bike, but i was just wondering if there was anythin else out there that was similar if not better ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 For the price, Onza will always be best in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its mark Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 yeah, its lookin like the onza the now, from what have read they seem to be pretty solid bikes ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeah they really are perfect beginner bikes.They aren't amazing.. Tend to be a tad heavy (the cheaper ones) and not that strong.When I first started I had an Onza t-rex, loved it. Didn't need to change anything on it for 4 months or so, even then I could have gone on with the standard spec, I just wanted something new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 ive got an onza zoot.....really impressed with it, prefer it tot he heatsink, but the inspireds just that bit nicer to manual....although the zoots better on the back wheel....pm me if you've got any questions on setup etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon_lee9900 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 24s are pretty rare out there at the moment, hard to find, those who have them want to keep them. Iv heard there actually harder than 26. or try a modstock if you want somthing bit more manoverable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
