Stan Shaw Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Updated, see below! Evening all, thought I'd post a few updated photos of my long running Koxx Kloud as it's had some new bits and bobs recently such as the Trialtech rim brake hose which matches the frame rather well. Other stuff includes the super comfy Trialtech lever blades for both brakes and a hard anodised alloy rear sprocket. I'd really recommend the lever blades for anyone looking improve their brakes. They add a touch more power, but feel much comfier than the standard ones. This bike is probably a little "old skool" to a few people now, but I'm of that era anyway haha and absolutely love this bike. Rides brilliant. On to the pics: Little update! I've now been running one of the Trialtech Sport Lite M30 rear hubs and sprockets for a few weeks. That means the thread size on the sprocket and hub is M30, quite a bit smaller than the regular 1.37" x 24 tpi size. This system allows for a lighter overall setup which is great. My hub, sprocket and bolts come in at approx 140g from memory which is insanely light, but still very strong. So it's win win! Few pics: Cheers! Stan.

Paperclip Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm right in thinking that frame is over 2 years old now? Looks really nice by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlingpowers Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Nice bike porn. How often did you use this frame? Many hooks, wedges? Edited February 20, 2015 by stirlingpowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) That is seriously nice Stan. Looks really clean and smooth. That rear brake setup looks quality Edited February 21, 2015 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes-a-trial Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Beautiful, well thought out.Something I would love to aspire to owning. Is it the camera angle or my end of the week tired eyes. On the birds eye pic of the rear brake the slaves look to be offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggysue Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Lovely bike, ride one myself, can't fault it! Seeing this makes me want to spend more money pimping mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 The bike has done plenty of riding in the 2 years I've owned it. The frames seem super tough so well happy with that. I think the camera lens is slightly fish eyed which you can notice in few pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Wonder how many people will be ditching the racing line lever blades and getting a Trialtech jobbie. They do look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mata22 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Stan always had great bikes.....i loved echos he had before but kloud looks great. i like details like brake hoses were cut that trialtech sign is just near cilynder ( or it was not on purpose? ) also, you dont see such great photos of bikes these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have said before that I don't mind a wee curve by the headtube, it's when you get bikes like Montys and Neons that just look really horrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Needs matching hoses to really finish it off but it's probably not possible, really nice bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
