Jaffacakes Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) I would upgrade the forks since they weigh a fair bit, bars because they are quite short, stem, and back wheel and i would buy a booster.

smelly joe Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 You dont need a whole new wheel, just get a new hub. the alex rims that come on them are probably some of the strongest rims you could buy.the hubs that come on the t-pro's are pants, mine died on me completely.after that get new forks, with disk mounts followed by a new hub and spokes to fit, then you can go ahead and buy a disk to fit on to your bike.

Street Lee Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Or how about saving the money until you break something? Then you can afford to replace it straight away instead of being out until you can afford to repair it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 my main thing is, ENGAGMENTS easier to gap keep on back wheel without pedaling a mile to get any sort of power output when you need that, dont know if that is free wheel or hub, i have 6 inch bigger wheels! and mainly rear brake you will notice the differance instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob rides trials Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 well i have basicly updated mine with zoo forks and koxx wheelset, and it rides beautiful and the zoo forks really make a differance to the weight, i would recommend you get some of them if you have enough mate.good luck with it and i hope you get the parts you want.

Jaffacakes Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 You can get echo easy forks for £72, a nice four bolt booster for around £40, zoo bars for £37 or instead a echo team stem which would probly be a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 If you want to change bars or stem you'll have to do them together because standard t-pro bars are a stupid size and nothing else will fit.you get hog rims on an 05 t-pro so no need to upgrade them till they break.What you will actually need is a new freewheel cos the one you get on the t-pro (ACS claw) is a bag of shite . Get an ENO trials freewheel (the green one w 72EPs) it'll cost anywhere between 70 and 85 quid . I'd spend the rest on some lovely new brakepads and some decent pedals.

ned1 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) then i wud say get sum echo easy forks and an avid 7 ball bearing disc, with a 185mm rotor, cable, but at only £50 u can't go wrong ands lock like a hope! u'll also need a new headset i shud think, get one of the new echo ones, there pricey but f****in well smart!

poopipe Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 u'll also need a new headset i shud think, get one of the new echo ones, there pricey but f****in well smart!won't fit will it ? due to t-pro having a weird headsetcheck before you buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Monty Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 The T-pro headset does fit with echo easy forks my mate did it on his old T-pro and it worked fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 u'll also need a new headset i shud think, get one of the new echo ones, there pricey but f****in well smart!As said by poopipe the headset wont fit because it is a 1 1/8th headset, all onza frames have internall headsets so you need an internall headset. You dont really need to upgrade the headset the one as standard is fine.The T-pro headset does fit with echo easy forks my mate did it on his old T-pro and it worked fine .He wasnt debatiing wether the forks would work, hes saying the headset wont.I would recommend:Forks (Echo Easy?)Bar and stem (Zoo! bars and Echo stem will go nicely)That will give the front end a nice feel, then buy some new pads for the rear (no need for the front if your getting a disc) and save for a disc brake and a eno 72ep.

Up'n'away Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ok so if i did buy those forks, would they fit the standard tpro stem and handlebars as i dont have any others atm.Any advise on what booster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ok so if i did buy those forks, would they fit the standard tpro stem and handlebars as i dont have any others atm.Any advise on what booster?it's a pretty safe bet the forks will fit the stem - again - check with the shop first just to be surebooster ? echo 4 bolt - £20(ish), works properly, looks ok and fits fine.
