T-pro Or T-mag

[Sponge]

Actually, only the bash mounts have been changed, the T-Mag downtube is still the same oval-oval denty wenty downtube. If the bash gusset on the downtube is improved, then its no problem, just runan armoudillo and be happy, at least the bashplate doesn't cave itself inwards into the tubing now.

Also, I think it might be better to buy a T-Pro to start with, as they are pretty much based off the Levelboss mod, just with slight tweaked geo, if you snap it or whatever, then just get a Zona Zip frame, which is very cheap. When I rode the T-Mag it felt much shorter than the T-Pro, and with the standard Spec-1 bar and stem it feels cramped like hell, I personally think it's worth getting the T-Pro and upgrading the bar and stem first, eventually the freewheel and forks. But it is bargain, and plus, if you don't hook or tap the T-Pro like a twat then it shouldn't break under such light usage unless your a walrus :P .

About the BB breakage, I'm sure that the T-Pro and T-Mag both share the same model of Onza BB? It's just bad luck that a T-Pro owner had to break it? From all I've read about both frames, the T-Pro is certainly a good practice frame for low level riders, it's got chainstay gussets for sidehop learning, reasonable downtube thickness against dents. It's really pretty much a great frame for your average unsmooth rider, it's just when you think you're ready to do 6ft drops without the totally correct technique you break things. Get a T-Pro to get good on, get a T-master or Zoo stem and Zoo riser bars, some better forks like Echo Easy, and then a Tensile freewheel and the bike's pretty much an amazing ride. When you snap the T-Pro after a year, get an even better frame like Zona or whatever's out there, you'll still have the great parts you got for your T-Pro, which you wouldn't really have if you spent the £80 extra on a T-Mag.

I have a T-Mag, I find I love the way it rides, but it's quite heavy compared to my mates T-Pro, but I find I cant controll the T-Pro at all, it feels so unsafe lol, Pic in sig if you want it :)

EDIT: BTW my mate has the 06 T-Pro :P

I think you should get a t-pro with a t-mag spec :P

[Houseface]

get a t-pro as you could lways use the extra money on better components to make the bike to suit you rather than too long/short.plus the t-pro is lighter and if youve just started out you dont really want a disc on the front because you might bash it.

steve :P

I would go for t-pro although the t-mag is good, but t-pro would be better to learn on.

i asked the nice man at tarty to make me a t-pro frame with all the bits from a t-mag so i got the front disc n stuff. It had to be ordered in so there was a bit of a wait but not too bad and i saved a fair bit of cash on organising a front disc later on.

if you're happy with a maggy on the front its worth getting the t-pro as standard and saving the extra money towards some lighter forks or a fancy freewheel.

i think you would have to ride both a t-mag and a t-pro because they both feel very different. i am learning on a t-mag and i love it. m mates got a t-pro and it feels very sketchy, but then again he does treat it like shit
