How Original Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well I've just picked up my Onza, and when I was there everything seemed in order and as it should. Now I've got home I've given it a more thorough going over, and noticed the back brake really leaning to one side, then spotted the "arm tensioner?" is broken, so I took the brake off and then found that the bearings in the wheel have gone (lots of wobble and play?) Took some pictures as I'm not 100% sure what I need to buy (the correct words to search for) so can anyone help? Or is there anything I can do to fix it without having to buy a new part? Any help would be appreciated as I haven't even been able to take it out yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 that's an open bearing hub so the first thing i'd try is tightening up the cones as for the v, try unscrewing the adjuster on the other arm to even up the tension a bit failing that, a decent v can be had for under a tenner on the 'bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the V, will I need to get a matching one, because I don't know which one to search for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 i'd guess that the standard onza ones are pretty cheap, personally i'd go for something like an avid sd7 or shimano deore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 If you wanna buy new brake,go for deore.But you can change the tension just by bending the spring a little by the hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
