  1. I saw the onza limey on unicycle.com, but I can't seem to find any info
    elsewhere about it. Onza's website doesn't have any info on it, onza's
    site just keeps showing me trials bikes. Same thing happens when I
    google it.

    Does anybody know where I could get more info on this uni? Some close
    up photos, more tech specs, available spare parts?

  2. It has ISIS cranks.. which aren't hard to find.

    Pretty much a KH with a bad frame, and thicker seat.

    Kris Holm actually rode Tensile cranks for a while.

    The rim is just an Onza Hog as listed.. not hard to find a replacement.

    The hub is probably the same as the KH or Nimbus hub in terms of
    strength.

    Seat clamp looks just like a KH clamp.

    Frame, trash it, stupid plastic caps.

    Post is probably same as a KH too.

    Spokes are thinner than a KH though.

    Seat is sexy, I would ride it.

  3. i think its a good uni, apart from the frame.

    The frame looks wider at the top and if its anything like the old onza
    frames (which it looks like) then its a knee breaker and horrible.

    But you get the really light tensile cranks, a hub thats pretty much
    the same as kh moment or nimbus, a 47mm rim (very similar to kh or koxx
    but with hedgehogs - i'm hopefully getting that rim soon), a nimbus Gel
    seat (these are very nice, not as flat as the KH street saddles but
    more comfy and thin enough for SIF.)

    DX pedals look fine and seatpost is alu reinforced, so probably will
    break but same as with koxx and KH seatposts.

    Hope that helps you out

  4. one thing i have against your review, don't compare to something
    untested such as the Nimbus hub.it SHOULD be as strong as the kh but
    thats not saying it is.

  5. Im not sure but i was under the impression that it was just the onza
    with a british theme.
    Side note/rant.
    I love that seat even though im american. Gotta support the motherland
    i guess. but the us flag should be semetrical like the union jack or
    the confederate flag.

    If somebody tells you your tricks are gay, ask them if they are an
    expert in gay trickery.

    The Nimbus hub is the same as the KH... just another colour and little
    designstuff (no KH in the flanches, just some dots)

    i know it, cause i use a Nimbus hub with Tensiles right now 😄

    It's because they're busy riding their gear instead of posting on a
    forum or their website.

    Schwinn website?
