    A few sample builds of the new frames: Also, Red brake pads:)
  2. There are a limited supply of HS pads atm, Currently available pads are: CNC Reds (Magura), CNC Coust (VEE), Snowy, Blueberry pads, and X-mas pads. Steve@Heatsink have gone on holiday for 4 Months, so supplies for heatsink products will be limited will August. So if you are desperately needing some new pads (Or any other HSB products) be quick before they sell out. Thanks Dan@Trials-uk
  3. Cool initials! I should have something lying about which you can have:) Looking forward to Sunday(Y) Hope to see you there Bigman! Leicester didnt go to plan last time:(. I'm sure Shaun and NeilT and PaulyC and Eskimo (Maybe?!!) might come:)
  4. It depends what gear ratio your running, I had a Pitbull couple years ago, and I ran 18T - 16T and used a KMC and it was perfect tension with out a tensioner. If you was to do this, I would suggest to use a new chain rather then a old stretched chain. Otherwise simply use a tensioner, if you got a old mech lying around, just convert that into a SS tensioner:) Thanks,
  5. That's an excellent job you done their(Y) I'm very impressed:D Can really tell the time and effort and thought into this(Y) Hope you get the grade you wanted;) Like some members mentioned, get it built up:D Thanks, Dan@Trials-uk
  6. Hi Max, Please can you let me know the problem with regards to our service we provided for you, and hopefully I can take this opportunity to improve the customer service in that area I have checked all your previous orders and 2 of which was made on a Saturday and all processed on the following Monday so these order should of been with you by Tuesday, Another order which was made at 5.30PM which is past our cut-off time (All orders made before 4.30) will be processed the same working day. I hope this have helped to clear any mis-understandings. Thank you, Dan@Trials-uk _______________________________________________________________ Back to the topic: Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments made for the bike:) I will get the bars swapped over asap, just deciding on geometry and such:D I must say, until you have ridden one of these bikes, you don't actually know how much you appreciate the KOXX bikes, It is something rather "Special" :$ With regards about KO-Products please do not post in this topic as it will all suddenly get very messy. There should be a topic in the news section with regards to the KO-Brand later on today:) You will discover for the first time all the products which are in the making/ Testing. Please note: I would love to hear from you riders, weather you have any suggestions or simply your thought about the item we have to offer! Thanks again!

  11. - That's funny Joe, dont most people rest their bikes against a wall to take picture? - All pictures on our site are all 650 x 433 I made the exception to make these bigger so people can see the attention to detail on the KOXX frame. - Warehouse: This is funny, But have you seen our warehouse before? We have been using K-Bins to store parts for many years now, and same with the shelfs. My question to you, Did Tesco copy Asda or the other way round? because they both looks very similar inside to me? - Now this one is funny. I'm not to sure what you mean by this, stocking koxx or riding a koxx? we have stocked Koxx brand for sometime now and its business and its our duty to bring what customers demands. I got a KOXX to test out a few things. Does this mean you copied so and so on getting a DOB mod? No, its because you personally liked the frame and wanted to ride one your self. - Watermark - This is copy right, We take all our pictures, so we watermark them to protect them. I'm sure this if what you do with the nice photographs you produce:) - Trials shop - Have I specifically mentioned that the shop is 100% dedicated to trials only? I don't think I have, if I have, I am sorry for the mis understanding. We are planning to bring in wider range of bikes into the shop part of the business, and the internet side will remain dedicated to trials only. However during this opportunity we decided to also include trials in our public shop, as there are no retails that have these specialized brands for people to see before they purchase. I'm not to sure on your grudge against us, I don't re-call we have communicated directly before so I don't understand your hatred against us. I fully understand you have your preference on where to purchase parts etc.. But I really do not understand your hatred. When I asked you to explain about us copying other competitors warehouse you have only said blue box's, Ok, fair enough, our storage box seems to be the same color? I would much appreciated if you found some storage suppliers which did these storage containers in another color and at a reasonable prices, because I've searched and the best place which supplied us with all the shelving consignment is a local company which is 15miles away. I would class copying if: Layout the same Unit looks exactly the same Interior layouts Lighting positioning
  12. Atm its pretty hard for me to complete it, as there's not much time during the day and after work, it gets dark about 1 hour later, and there's no electrics as yet, so no lights, so its taking longer then planned. Once electrics are installed hopefully this week or next, the building work can commence, and the showroom will look the part(Y) Feel free to come down for a visit one day:)
  13. Sorry? Copy? Please explain, To be honest there's only so little method where you can store the parts, we have been storing our parts like this for the last couple years now, but we haven't exposed pictures to the public till now. Please do some research for industrial shelving units, I think you will find that 99% of the shelfing looks identical, I've seen many other warehouse's from plumbing wholesalers to salon product wholesaler and they all have pretty similar shelfs.. To be honest Joe, Its a warehouse, its just to store parts and to provide a efficient working environment. Also we are only about 60% to completion. Its pretty tricky to decide on the layout from a black canvas, but its getting there:) No, we wont be having a trials rig I'm afraid, because the other half will be the shop front for the public:). Thanks
  14. :$ I know, I will get rid of the red parts gradually. New wheels when its time(Y) I was thinking, White forks, and white wheels, Will go well with the white endings on the frame paint work:D
  15. Ladies and Gentleman, So its been sometime now since I got a new frame, so I decided to build one of these bad boys up to feel the geometry and test the stiffness which the Hydroform downtube provide. During my build I decided to get couple new parts to see if I can get the bike light as possible, My aim was to shave off another 1000g compared to the weight of the old bike. This was achieved by changing: Frame (Koxx Hydroxx) BB (Try-All 128mm) Cranks (Try-All 175mm) Bash (Try-All Symetric) Forks (2006 Pures, lighter then the current model) Couple mods: Rear tire Head cap (Not really a mod) But few links have been taken out from the chain. And now for the pictures! Enjoy! And here's a sneak peek of the progress of our new warehouse premises;) Specification: Frame: Koxx Hydroxx Forks: Echo Pure (06) Headset: Token Carbon Stem: Try-All NUC 125 x 25 Bars: V!Z Max Bars Front Brake: Magura Louise Carbon FR Rear Brake: Magura HS33/ CNC Coust pads Front wheel: ISO King on Mavic xc 717 ( Almost 4 years old now!) Rear wheel: Front Echo rim/ VIZ 135mm SS Hub Cranks: Try-All 175mm Bash: Try-All Symetric Freewheel: Try-All 108.9 Tyres: Try-All front, Maxxis Minion Rear Pedals: Welgo MG1's Bottom Bracket: Try-All 128mm ISIS Total Weight: 10KG/ 23LB - Possibly the lightest bike I've personally owned, however still room to go even lighter:D Next Modifications: TI/ Alloy bolts through out Hope you guys have enjoyed the pictures as much as I have enjoys riding this beauty (H)
  16. Proto Onza with unreal BB height;) Me and Shaun should be around after work tomorrow, so we will arrive around 7.30/ 8.00.

  18. World Cat is the sister company of ZHI/ Bionic:) And the spec is pretty much the same as the VIZ/ Monty freewheels but with a better price tag! Thanks Dan
  19. Ice is fresh, so is white, so its named as the "Ice Edition" Model.

  22. Sweet David, Good to see your taking good care of it(Y) Looking forward to your new video(Y) Keep up the awesome riding! 08 Edition KM1 will be available soon;)
  23. It looks like a defect with the lever, We have had one of them come through and snapped exactly the same place as yours whiles still in the packaging. Simple send it back to Magura UK and they should give you a replacement free of charge(Y), You might have to cover postage, but its nothing to worry about:) Abit of a bummer when stuff like this happens on a ride:(, hope you get it sorted(Y) If you have any troubles give me a shout and I'l be more then happy to help you out(Y)
  24. Hey JT, Im not sure if you have seen the Leisure lakes on or not, but they seem very good and I believe they was on sale not so long ago, so you still might have a chance getting a bargin:D I believe they're around £70, nice and big, so easy to store and take your bike:) Check their site out(Y) Thanks Dan
