Muel Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 They're shite, more have destroyed themselves than survived. Damon Watson killed one in a day or something daft like that.A pink front rim, and a red rear hub? Sound nasty to me, I'd get matching wheels if I were you, they look much better IMO.

Sound nasty to me, I'd get matching wheels if I were you, they look much better IMO.Well i am very new to trials so i'm not going to be doing anything near as big as what he, or really any other rides does.And yeah thinking about it now it does *sound* nasty, but if i picture a black frame with a pink front wheel and white rear I think it seems pretty nice.

If u have a black frame then white monty rims with black spokes and white hubs would look lush Edited May 2, 2009 by Nick Melson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 What's wrong with the parts you already have?If your only a beginner as you said just stick with original parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) What's wrong with the parts you already have?If your only a beginner as you said just stick with original parts.Well for 1, the wheels i have atm look disgusting and boring, and I have £300 birthday money still to spend, so why not buy some parts that will help my performance?Would look shitee. If u have a black frame then white monty rims with black spokes and white hubs would look lushThat doesn't sound bad actually.Or,What about Pink rims with black spokes and white hub? Or white spokes, white hub, white spokes black hub?id go for a fixed rear hub and get a front freewheel Hmm yeah, alot of people have said that to me but i'm not so keen on the idea.

Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well for 1, the wheels i have atm look disgusting and boring, and I have £300 birthday money still to spend, so why not buy some parts that will help my performance?IMO learn on heavy bike components then buy the light good quality shit keep it until it goes wrong ? best to put your £300 in a bank until you need to desperately use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm , you do have a point there It's just that i really despise of most of the Onza parts on the bike atm,especially as i've heard many people say the only decent things they make are the frames.And I can't sit in my house, watching endless trials video's seeing other riders hawt wheels without my £300 telling me non-stop to spend it on some sexy wheels for my own bike.IMO learn on heavy bike components then buy the light good quality shit keep it until it goes wrong ? best to put your £300 in a bank until you need to desperately use itI like your idea, it does sort of makes sense,But then again, won't i learn things alot quicker if I have more decent, lighter parts on my bike?

bigamac Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well save your money as nick said.Learn on a t-bird i did and they are good beginner bikes. And there is always someone who going to hate some companies and some who love them.Don't always go by other peoples words.Don't spend your money for the time being. Weigh 6 months before you do. Then buy a whole bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigamac Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Not one of those stupid old T-bird's with the stupid looking frames haha.Like my old one you mean. Two things you should upgrade.Rear brake to a better vee OR to a maggie.And the front brake to chagne the lever but keep the rest because onza disk brakes are good.

JT! Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Well for 1, the wheels i have atm look disgusting and boring, and I have £300 birthday money still to spend, so why not buy some parts that will help my performance?I wouldn't worry about what the bike looks like.It's just that i really despise of most of the Onza parts on the bike atm,especially as i've heard many people say the only decent things they make are the frames.But then again, won't i learn things alot quicker if I have more decent, lighter parts on my bike?Regarding Onza parts, they make many good parts. I myself have onza rims on my bike now, and have used and would love to go back to onza bars.Honestly, save your money! Ride your bike and upgrade when you feel something is holding you back. Breaks are usually the first thing people upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a noob to trials for that part. But ask fellow riders that you ride with and use the small questions topic and you'll get someone to tell you good ones.

Callum.Curwood Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 If I were you I would replace the bars, stem and forks first. They are really heavy and have stupid geo. That will improve your performance more then wheels will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself have onza rims on my bike now, and have used and would love to go back to onza bars.And I myself actually think the front end of the bike feels pretty light and the bars feel quite nice to ride with.
