T-vee Rider Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 After looking at the Onza blade, I have decided to get nearly a complete new build.I have a couple of questions about the parts i'm hopefully going to order The parts I'm going to order:Onza Blade frameMonty 221 Pr stemEcho low rise barsTrialTech cranksTensile freewheelEcho isis BbEcho urban front and rear rimsEcho lite 07 forksI'm after cheap but also reliable parts, so would this list be ok?They are some good prices for good quality products which I have been told to look at Also the Blade frame hasn't got a booster built in, would it be a good idea to get one?If so a 2-bolt or a 4-bolt?Thanks for all of your help again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 A brake booster would aid the rigidity of the frame, but its not a must have. If your that bothered about flex then by all means get one because they do work, but the Blade should be okay without one. As for two or four bolt I'd go two bolt, simple because I had a four bolts for a period and it was pants. The only other thing I can comment on is the Tensile (as its the only thing on the list I have), they are great freewheels for the price, mine has lasted for ages and has'nt skipped once, although I know of a few going wrong and even exploding, in general they are very good.hope this helped.

Tom Perkins Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 The spec you have picked is a very good choice, and should last you a long time. Have you already got hubs? What are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith!! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 That list seems fine so far, the frame probs wont last that long unless your just starting out, if so then it will be okay for a year-ish.All the other parts are strong enough for a long time .

Jordan GU Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) What about hubs and spokes? Defo get a booster because Onza frames flex like mad!Personally I wouldn't get a Tensile freewheel because I have heard ALOT of bad things about them.
