DeeDougie Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Just taken delivery of my first bike and putting a couple of early pictures up. Please excuse the quality and after numerous attempts to make them at the correct rotation just wasnt working!! Bike is an Onza zoot 2010 model purchased 2nd hand for £210. Spec is pretty much complete standard however hs11 brake on the rear. Im going to give it the once over and at 1st glance the rear brake cable needs trimming, front cable needs replacing and new grips required. Overall though im really happy with the overall standard it seems in great condition. 1 scuff on the frame and the cranks have taken a bit of a beating but thats to be expected. Any comments or advice welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Leave the rear cable long for tailwhips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeDougie Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yer I think ive had a touch!! Really pleased with it to be honest. Just had my 1st ever ride n managed 3 back hops while keeping it in control! Onwards n upwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 As it has a magura on it make sure to keep an eye on the welds where the seat stays meet seat tube. I was running an 05 HS33 on mine with a 2bolt booster + a V-brake booster for extra stiffness and within 3 months from new it formed cracks on both sides. However the bike was such great fun and rode really well! enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juantime Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah zoots are really good... at first... then you start to hate it. I got rid of mine before I destroyed it and couldnt sell it on. I got around £170 for it but it was pretty beat up. If i took care of it i could have got like £200-220. I got told it needs new forks and bars to lighten the front, they would have helped a lot. So you should look to getting some, before you get used to the heavy front. Someone recommended "Echo Urban 24" forks" they seemed to know what they were talking about. Its good for a first bike though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeDougie Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Im brand new to trials but the front does seem a bit heavy.... saw on a few posts here a new stem/bar would help too... the plan is to use my 1st bike as a bit of a building block n upgrade over time with "gucci" gear.
