WIGAN Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 you will need an external headset thats it, but if your using standard onza parts i would advise getting new stem bar and forks but yeah your old ones will fit for the time being.

cai Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 It'll all fit apart from the headset and bashplate - I advise you to purchase a new set of forks and a rear hub as the standard Onza ones are wank.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Morton Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 it will all fit together fine all you will need is a new bashplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatrip Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 hes got a bashring we wont need a bash plate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Bashplate won't fit and you'll need to get a headset with external bearings, as the Onza headsets are internal bearing and are too big to fit into the headtube.But really, why you buying a frame? You'll absolutely ruin it with that frond end. I'd seriously recommend buying new forks and stem over a frame or at the very least buy them at the same time, if you can afford it.

Meh, last time I checked all the Onza mod headsets were internal and there wasn't an external onza headset on Tarty, so I assumed it was the same.And if the forks that came on the 05 T-Pro are anything to go by, the standard Onza forks are shockingly heavy. Like ridiculously so. And if he's buying a new frame to improve his riding as opposed to looking flash on rides, I'm sure he could appreciate that a new set of forks is a lot cheaper and will make a massive difference in his riding because the front end would be immeasurably lighter and the bike will be easier to control and on the back wheel.But if he wants to spend £300 on getting a new frame 6 months after getting a new bike then my words shouldn't stop him. Just seems a bit backwards really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
