BTR_Vince Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hello everyone,I'm looking to buy a 20" bike and have kinda settled for the Onza Pro...http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=10Is this a good beginners bike? I know it says so in it's description but I wanna hear it from you trial riders too.I'm not totally new to trials, I have had a 26" Mad Phase 1.2 sine about February, but the big bike just doesn't feel right. I'm still learning to get up on the back wheel.Also, my budget is about £500, but I have to ship it all the way to Cape Town in South Africa. If you guys can assist me in this, maybe recommend a different bike in the same price range. All help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMiE.oNzA Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 ive got one and yes i think this is really good for beginners. if i was you i would change the rear brake to magura, makes the ride feel so much more reliable as my rear disk brake was slipping occasionally .hope ive helped Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR_Vince Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah, thanks man. My Phase 1.2 has the magura hydraulic rim breaks. Is it possible to switch them over to the Onza Pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
