Broken Frame Cap?
I was out working on my gliding today and when i came back in i noticed that the little cap on my frame (see arrow on picture) was missing. All there was an empty hole into the frame and i saw wedged in the middle was a little thing that looked like the bottom of the frame cap. (is it called a frame cap?) I think it broke in half and the top part was fell off. Anyone know how to fix this or have similar problems to this? +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: onza.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/340765| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- skate4flip - Level 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skate4flip's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10198 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42052 |

And I just thought the onza frames were ugly. (Yuni's are ugly too) -- cyberpunk - Bruwahaha The following is the fault of a random google search and catboy.

i went outside and lucky found the piece that broke off. I dont have a working camera right now so i will attempt to draw the broken parts in paint? Do you think it would be a good idea to the glue the top piece back on? -- skate4flip - Level 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skate4flip's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10198 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42052 |

I really don't know since i've never had a onza frame, but the top cap dosn't hold any mechanical purpose does it? I mean it just keep dirt/watere out of the frame, and makes your footing more comfturble, right? Well if thats the case I see no problem in glueing it back on other then it might be difficult to get it back off if you ever want to, but thats nothing a lighter or a hairdryer can't fix. -- cyberpunk - Bruwahaha The following is the fault of a random google search and catboy.

Broken Frame Cap?
i have the same problem with mine. the cap is only there to keep dirt out so isnt 'REALLY' necessary. i have tried glueing mine on but that didnt work :-( i think that a peice of metal should have been welded onto the top of the fork with these frames. the added weight would have been nothing and the frame looks a bit crap if you do lose one of the caps. i think onza should think about this one. BTW my mate suggested getting a stopper that goes onto the end of b*ke handlebars. he said you should get something to fit and they actually compress into the hole so would be allot more stable. havent looked onto it yet though -- deadlydes - Alright Unicyclist Listen to what I mean not what I say ------------------------------------------------------------------------ deadlydes's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4345 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42052 |

there are also bar end plugs that would fit that have flashing red LED's if you really want to look into it. -- jagur - Random Unicyclist smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast. --------------------------------------------------- -forget_your_life- -------------------------------------- -------*muni militia *------- *one wheeled death squad* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jagur's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/502 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42052 |
