Captain Scarlet Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Had a proper test of the pads today. AMAAAAAZING!Loudest set ive had, great bite and hold on slopes. Even on my near smooth rim!That sounds like a good testimonial, I lost confidence with my magura, after trying the pads which every swore by such as; Coustsinks, and PhatPads (which both alledgely worked on just about any rim surface), I had no joy from them what so ever and had to rely upon tar.Just seen the new ML catalogue at work today, I was tempted to phone up a while ago and see if they had stock of the new pro rims, my wheels are in need of a rebuilt, and a bit of pimpness.

forteh Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The only thing I don't like so much about the Onza inbuilt tensioning, is the fact how you can't slam the wheel right into the drop out as far as it could go with say chain tugs or snail cams.And upon fitting my rear disc, I noticed that the rotor is ridiculously close to the large bulk on metal on the chainstay/seatstay join, probably about 2mm away from touching.Easily bodgable, but it just scared me to hell at first.You can slam the rear wheel just as much as chain tugs When I had rear disk on the triton the disk was about 1mm from the inside of the chainstays, never caused any problems even with the superflexy rear frame - went back to magura because rear disk sucks on stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 But were you running a rear disc on an onza frame?No but it was a ti frame which is likely to flex more than alu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) You can slam the rear wheel just as much as chain tugs No as the Onza tensioning system works from the inside and pushes outwards, there is a little square bit of metal which sits in and occupies alot of space in the dropouts before the rear wheel goes in.Whereas with chain tugs they work from the outside and pulls outwards, so no little block occupies the dropout and the wheel can be slammed further forward.

craigjames Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 So technically when the blocks are in place you have shorter dropouts, is that an issue? How are the chainstays measured to take this into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Beach Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) I have been using these new Onza pro series pads for just over a week. My rim does not currently have a grind, but these pads hold really well. I used them at a comp today and found that they provided a better performance overall than the old pads that I have been using at previous ones. I have only used them in the dry so far so can't comment about their performance in the wet.Jake Edited May 11, 2009 by Jake Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoozie Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 You will have to click the links for pictures as I can not upload them onto here using photobucket or the forum uploader. If you look at the picture, and see the box on the right hand side, with a load of codes in it? Look for the box that says "IMG Code" copy and paste that code, into here, and the picture will show.Like so: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hey Joe, is there any word on the interlocking singlespeed/spacer kit? And will it come in 17t? And can I have one?Last I heard it was due out in march... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just a quick update on the Syncroloc interlocking single speed system. First prototypes worked extremely well but after costing, because of the huge amount of CNC work the price didn't stack up too well against other s/s converters. Every spacer was racking up the price. In an effort to reduce that we have re designed to minimise the CNC work and new prototypes are expected shortly. This has delayed the launch but we felt that it needed to remain competitively priced even with its uniqueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 It would work if you just used two spacers that interlocked with the sprocket. I'm guessing that's what the new prototype will be like.If you're looking for someone to test a 17t one... hahaDo bring out a 17t one though, for 24" riders, 22-17 is just right, like 22-18 on a stock.

JT! Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys,Presenting two new products:Rear disc on the scull?I don't like either, they look a little toyish, and the 'scull' front remineds me of the zona zips front, just doesn't look good.The master looks even worse. Horrible looking frame, the front of the graphics looks a little gothy, and i suppose it should go well against a black frame but the blue on the onza throws everything off.The forks just look like they've been scratched, like someone trying to respray his forks but given up a quarter of the way in.Oh and what'd the deal with that little rider logo getting thrown in everywhere?
