that NBR dude Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Bought this as a bit of a piss-about, fed up of taking trials too seriously. Wanted to take it aaaaaaall back to 1999; on a 2010 bike, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Looking good dude. Any plans for it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) That is nice despite the slightly dark pic. I wonder if Onza will bring a budget clone of the Inspired Hex for 2011?

I'm guessing that's what the zoot pro frameset is aimed at? Looks good Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 minus the cranks and the stem those bikes look sooo nice. How does it ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brakes will feel ok when they are setup. In fairness, even setup as they are (which is really badly) they hold well and feel pretty solid. Might upgrade them in time but no rush. Only had a wee roll around in the road, looking forward to the weekend to give it a proper go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt that what Jack Meek is testing at the moment? A zoot 26"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that NBR dude Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 gonna upgrade it any? Not yet, it feels pretty nice as a standard spec bike. Might change a few bits in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that NBR dude Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I did a little review in another thread for someone, I'll bung it on here for you... Mine arrived yesterday so had a wee spin around on it in the evening at the skate park. As has been said I wouldn't suggest putting pegs on it, the axles really don't look like they are up to the task. I've bent a few BMX axles that look a lot beefier than those. The brakes on them are fine, I don't see the need to upgrade them any time soon. They feel solid and hold pretty well with the pads that came on it. A bit of time spent setting them up properly and you will be supirsed how nice they feel. The Bar and stem combo on them isn't too bad, stem could be a little higher but thats being overally picky. I'm 6ft and felt perfectly comfortable on it, if you're a little shorter you could always loose the stacker to get the front down a wee bit, but I reckon you'd be fine. Overall impression of the bike from yesterday is really good, I'm very impressed with how solid and quality it feels considering the price. It felt perfectly at home pumping round the skate park, while still feeling comfortable when it turns into a pogo stick. For a 24", the weight is really good, to the extent that I was amazed how light it felt when riding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoster Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 i love this bike (except the stem) real nice price/spec ratio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 It's true, the brakes work well on those standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
