  1. Does the KH trials do rails better than the onza? and witch one do you
    think is better?

  2. My friend has an Onza, and he doesn't grind yet, but the pedals have
    huuge pins. So if you're getting an onza, make sure to use grind plates
    too.

  3. Not to negate your advice Potter, but I don't really think that the
    pedals are the most serious parts. I think it was a reference to the
    cranks and hub.

    As for advice, I have an Onza with Snafu pedals, and it grinds rails
    fine (bear in mind that the only time I've ever dsone a rail grind was
    about 20 times when I was trying to pedalgrab a round steel rail on a
    bike rack. So I was doing them seat out and in sidehop form. Kinda
    awkward, but I mistakenly landed it once) I think they're kinda equal.
    The only thing is that the KH doesn't have siderake and the pedal thread
    tube protrudes on the other side of the crank. This means that if you
    get the rail stuck between the crank and wheel it may be a bit more
    difficult to remove if you hit it hard. This happens in Tugboat's video.
    The Onza doesn't have this protrusion.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?

  4. So even thought the onza cranks are profiled and more rounded it will
    still slide down rails fine?

  5. Ive got a old onza and the cranks grind pretty well but i prefer flat
    cranks, the under side on the onza cranks where it is screwed in is the
    slippiest part of the crank 😉
