  1. Yesterday I finally received my new Onza Trials Uni! I put it together
    as fast as I could, then took it out for a ride and to show some of my
    friends. I tell ya, it is one sexy ride. The colors are great, and I
    love the saddle as well as the design on the fork. The pedals have some
    incredibly long pegs, which make me a little nervous, but I'll manage.

    Its got the new KH/Onza Hub, so it'll be nice and strong for me. Now all
    I gotta do is get used to riding a 20" instead of a 24".

    I LOVE MY NEW UNI!

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

    This can be avoided by taking out both seat clamp bolts, greasing them
    with bicycle grease, and reinserting them. Seat clamp bolts often are
    not greased by the manufacturers, and are inclined to strip if left dry
    and tightened hard. The same applies to all other seat clamps which use
    bolts.

  15. Thats the upgraded version of the Uni I bought 10 or so months ago. You
    probably won't have a problem with it, I've dropped mine a good 4ft and
    still not a single problem. Mine creaks a bit but thats the bearings in
    my gusset grind pedals, not the uni itself.

    The only bad point is I know pretty soon my saddles going to start going
    soon, so I wish there was somewhere I could get a replacement onza velo
    saddle, the colour scheme & logo are too good to lose!

  16. Those pedals are nasty. I've taken mine off my onza and put them on my
    coker as I don't tend to get bitten whlst cokering. If I were you I'd
    file down the spikes or put some new ones in.

    Have you got the new model with the KH/Onza hub? I got the old version
    and the hub has been causing me trouble since I had it. I've done the
    loc-tite fix a couple of times but that's only a temporary measure and
    has never fully fixed the slip problem.

    Enjoy your new ride.

    Yes, it does have the KH/Onza hub. I made sure to check on that before I
    actually bought the uni.

    Yeah. The saddle is one of my favorite things about the uni. Its a whole
    lot cooler than I was expecting it to be, actually.

    Be careful with those pedals.

    Oh, I will. I've already gotten a small taste of what they can do, but I
    decided that I should always wear shin guards while riding, just in
    case. I might file them down, like MrBoogiejuice suggested. I don't
    think its necessary to have such long pegs.

    If I heard right, that's exactly the difference. The KH frame is
    aluminum and weighs a little bit less. That's the only major difference,
    as far as I know.

    Yoopers doesn't know it yet, but yes, he did give it to me. So, Yoopers.
    If you find $420 dollars missing from your bank account, don't worry,
    that was just the cost of the uni you donated to me.'You remember me,
    don't you?' (http://tinyurl.com/7dysj)
