Hi! I get my bike today at midday and I have to say it was very exciting. Every parts were carefully packed in and also the free items were in the package. (Unfortunately there is a small painting defect on the left side of the fork but beside the varnish is very nice everywhere on the bike) 2 things which appear to me first: the bike is extremely stiff and the other was the bottom pracket and the freewheel runs very very smoothly. Its a good feeling to use this bike. Thanks Tartybikes! Keep it up!

Hi Peter - I'm glad the bike got to you safely. It's also good to hear the bike feels good for you! They're a lot of fun to ride, and I'm sure you'll continue to enjoy it for a long time. I'm sorry to hear about the paint defect though - we check all of our bikes before dispatch so this should usually get spotted. If you'd like to e-mail us a photo of the paint defect we'll see if there's anything we can do for you. Thanks for the review!

will the Maxxis Hi Roller Dual Ply 24" fit with an onza zoot ?

Hi, Yes, it should fit no problem. Thanks, Adam
Why is the onza zoot almost 1 kg lighter than the inspired element and will the weight of this bike stunt it's perfromance against it's friend the inspired element? Thankyou.

Hi Josh - The Inspired Element has other features such as a front disc brake and a more heavy duty drive-train that are beneficial to the bike, but do increase the weight compared to the Zoot. The advantages that these features give the bike outweigh (no pun intended) it's slightly larger weight. However, both the bikes are still very good, and I don't think you'd be disappointed by either. The Zoot has a great spec and frame for the money, so if you're just starting out and you're not sure if you'd like to invest a larger amount of money on your first bike then it may be a sound choice. Thanks, Mark
Hey, Would this bike be good for starters because it is in my price range but i don't know if i should go 20' or 24' if a 24' is good for starters ?
Posted by James on 27/12/2010
Reply from TartyBikes on 28/12/2010
Hi James - If you head to our Video Guides section, we have a video that discusses the different wheel sizes and which are best for which style of riding. Generally speaking, if your riding is more geared towards more BMX-influenced riding (think Danny MacAskill), then 24" is a good route to go. If you'd prefer to ride in a more trials-orientated way, it may be worth looking at our 20" range as they are a little easier to learn the basics of trials on. If you decide to go down the 24" route, the Zoot is a great bike to start out on. The bike's got a great frame with some quality parts on meaning they're ideal for everyone from beginners through to more expert riders. Thanks, Mark
I currently have a very light 20'' onza comp and ride comps. I am 15 and about 5'6, do you think it would be hard for me to adapt to a more streety style and a heavier bike?
Posted by Nick on 05/01/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 08/01/2011
Hi Nick - As you'd be riding the bike in a different style (generally rolling moves more than from static), the extra weight isn't an issue. It can sometimes be difficult changing from one bike to another if they have a very different style, but the more you do it the easier it becomes. If you're looking to try out a new style of riding then I'd recommend doing it as it blends some of the more fun aspects of trials with other disciplines like mountain biking and BMX, and means you can ride a greater variety of locations - always a bonus! Thanks, Mark

Hi Russ - If you check out the answers to questions #3 and #6 (asked by 'Josh rudgard-james' and 'scott paterson' respectively) there's some guidance there regarding the Zoot vs. the Element and whether to stick with a front V-brake or not. The Element does cost more, but you do get a lot for your money with it. The question then is just whether it's too much of a financial commitment or not. It'd be nice to think that everyone who tried riding a 24" bike would love it, but obviously it's not for everyone - if you think you've got a pretty good chance of it being the sort of riding you want to do, then investing more in the Element would be a good option. If you're unsure, then it may be wise to go for the Zoot - it's still a good bike, and it's a good base to upgrade on in the future if needs be. Thanks, Mark

Hi! What would i need to do to convert this bike to a hydraulic disc brake? Could i just buy a front hub that supports a disc hub or would i need to buy a new front wheel?
Posted by Russ on 30/01/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 31/01/2011
Hi Russ - You could buy the front hub (and then the relevant spokes) and get that laced into the standard front rim (instead of buying an entirely new wheel) if you wished - that would then allow you to run a disc on there. Thanks, Mark
Hi, would I be able to fit Magura HS33?
Posted by luis on 12/04/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 12/04/2011
Hi Luis - You would be able to fit a HS33 to the front or rear by using Magura Evo 2 Adaptors. These are available in the 'Brake Clamps' section of the website. Thanks, Mark

Hi Roderick - Firstly, thanks for the comment! Regarding the frame/Fun Bolt combo, the bolts themselves should have enough clamping force, but it would be possible to drill the chain tugs out to 12mm and use them as well. They wouldn't be a great fit around the 10mm section of the Fun Bolts, but they would still help out. Thanks, Mark
Hey would it be possible for you guys to help me wire the front brake cable down the steerer tube before shipping it out to me on a onza zoot 24 ? and thanks guys.

Hello - If you purchase the Gusset Hollow Star Nut Kit (Quick find code: 011013) with your bike then we can install that for you. Without that it wouldn't be possible to route your brake cable through your headtube, but with that it shouldn't be a problem at all. Thanks, Mark

would i be able to put a little bit bigger sprocket on the front.
Posted by skyler on 24/08/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 25/08/2011
Hi Skyler - Putting a larger sprocket on the front would be difficult as the Zoot uses a front freewheel setup. Finding reliable freewheels that are larger than 18t can be difficult. Alternatively, you could replace the screw-on sprocket on the rear hub with a smaller model (e.g. 12t or 13t) which would make the gear ratio harder. Thanks, Mark
if i bought this bike, and then i bought the avid bb5 (160mm) would u be able to fit it for me??
Posted by connor flanagan on 30/10/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 31/10/2011
Hi Connor - You'd also need to buy a new front brake cable (as the standard one is cut to fit a V-Brake, not a disc), a new front disc hub, a new set of spokes (to fit your new hub to your rim) and a wheelbuild. If you do that, we should be able to fit the brake for you. Thanks, Mark
How much more would it cost to get a front disk brake fitted?
Posted by Lucas on 05/11/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 07/11/2011
Hi Lucas - That depends on which hub and disc brake you'd like to use. To work it out, you'd simply need to add the front disc hub of your choice, the front disc brake of your choice, 1 set of spokes (in either silver or black) and 1 wheelbuild to your basket. This will tell you the additional price to pay. Thanks, Mark
Would you recommend this bike for street trials.

Reply from TartyBikes on 15/03/2012
Hi Connor - You'd need to use M6 x 25 bolts for your rear wheel. We stock these in either steel (under our own name) or in Titanium (from Trialtech). If you head over to the Bolts section you should be able to track them down! Thanks, Mark
hi does the onza zoot come with disc brakes or do you have to buy them seperatly ???
Posted by kyle on 07/04/2012
Reply from TartyBikes on 10/04/2012
Hi Kyle - The Zoot is fitted with V-Brakes as standard. It's possible to fit disc brakes although you'd need to buy them separately. You'd also need to change to disc hubs as the standard models are non-disc. Thanks, Mark
can you put discs on the onza zoots hubs because i know the frame and forks can take disc brakes but do you have to get new hubs if you want to use disc brakes? thanks
Posted by Chester on 08/05/2012
Reply from TartyBikes on 08/05/2012
Hi Chester - As you've spotted the frame and fork are disc ready, but unfortunately the hubs aren't so you would need to get some new hubs to be able to put some disc rotors on. Thanks, Mark

Hello - The Zoot doesn't have any bashplate mounts so you wouldn't be able to fit a plate, sorry. None of the 24" or 26" bikes we sell have the required mounts for them. Thanks, Mark

Hi Rourke - The Zoot uses 32 spoke wheels front and rear. Thanks, Mark
Hey, I was wondering if i should change the brakes to disk brakes or to hydrolic. Which one do you think would be suitable? or should i just stick with the v-brakes?
Posted by scott paterson on 29/12/2010
Reply from TartyBikes on 30/12/2010
Hi Scott - There's no reason that a V-Brake can't be as good as a hydraulic rim brake with a good quality set of calipers, lever, pads and cable. If you're trying to keep costs down then I'd recommend sticking with the V-Brake on the Zoot as standard. To change to a disc brake you'd need to buy disc-ready hubs that would increase the cost of upgrading quite a lot. If price isn't as much of an issue I'd recommend upgrading to a disc on the front, as on a 24" bike like the Zoot a disc brake is a great choice as it offers a lot of modulation and power, whilst also being nice and quiet - perfect for stoppies and other front wheel moves. On the rear, I'd stick with the V-Brake as they don't require the use of adaptors that a hydraulic rim brake would need, keeping the rear of the bike nice, light and clean. It's also worth bearing in mind that for the price of a set of hydraulic rim brakes with adaptors you could buy a top quality V-Brake setup. Thanks, Mark
I am a BMX rider but I want to switch to trials. I'm not sure what bike to choose, can you help me out? I think the best for me would be the Onza Zoot. I'm 14, weigh about 65 killograms and my height is also about 170cm.

Reply from TartyBikes on 17/01/2011
Hi Barty - If you're coming from a BMX background then the Zoot would probably be a good bet as it'll still allow you to do some BMX style moves on it, but also be good for riding trials on too. If you don't really want to do any BMX moves at all then a 20" maybe be a better option, although they will feel a lot different to your BMX. Thanks, Mark
Would all the components on the onza zoot fit on the inspired fourplay frame?
Posted by Matt stamp on 23/04/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 26/04/2011
Hi Matt - I'm pretty sure everything would be compatible - you'd just need to buy a Pivotal post to use on the Inspired frame as the Zoot uses an integrated post whereas the Zoot doesn't. Thanks, Mark
Hello, i was wondering if it would be possible to grind off the seat post for more clearance (or would it make such a little diferance that it wouldnt matter), if so is there something that i could seal up the hole with so that water stayed out?
Posted by Kyle Bosson on 10/05/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 11/05/2011
Hi Kyle - It'd be possible to do so, although there aren't really that many things you could use to seal up the hole. In all honesty, I think it'd be worth keeping the seat as even without the seat the frame doesn't have the same sort of clearance as a more dedicated frame. Thanks, Mark
What is best V-Brakes or Disc brakes?? :) And is it a good beginners bike?
Posted by Christopher Hansen on 10/05/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 10/05/2011
Hi Christopher - It's difficult to pick one being better than the other when it comes to disc brakes vs. V-Brakes as they both have different qualities. Discs, for example, give great modulation and have great hold (as well as being nice and quiet to use!), whereas a rim brake will give greater 'bite' and will feel a little more responsive. As a general rule, I'd say that discs are ideal on the front for 20", 24" or 26" bikes because they do offer that extra modulation. On the rear, I'd usually only recommend them for 20" or 24" bikes at a push, as the larger wheel sizes tend to not really work quite as well with discs. Having said that, a well set up V-Brake can still work very well, and I know several riders who swear by them for that reason. In terms of the Zoot overall, it depends largely on which style of riding you're hoping to do. If you're planning on just riding more 'pure' trials, a 20" bike might be better to begin on. However, if you're hoping to do some trials mixed with more BMX-style moves (e.g. like Danny MacAskill) then a Zoot would be a much better option. Equally, if you're used to riding a mountain bike a Zoot will feel more natural than a 20" wheeled bike. Thanks, Mark
What hydraylic front discbrake is compatible on this bike? And what is price translated to euros?
Posted by Tuomo Levikari on 08/12/2011
Reply from TartyBikes on 09/12/2011
Hello - Either front version of the Echo TR Hydraulic Disc Brake would fit the Zoot, or alternatively the Hope Tech Trial with #5 Caliper/160mm or #3 Caliper/180mm rotor. They will fit on your forks fine, although you'd need to upgrade your front hub to a disc model to be able to attach the disc rotor. We have a Currency Converter in our 'Support' section if you need help with the price in Euros. Thanks, Mark

Hi Brian - The Echo Urban forks weigh 0.898kg compared to the Zoot's forks which are 1.380kg, so it'd make the total weight approximately 10.658kg. Thanks, Mark
