  1. The distance between my top mounts of the 4 bolt mounts on my frame is 90mm. This means I cannot run any of the boosters seen on Tartybikes website. I have been thinking about buying a Magura booster, but I cannot find any information about the bolt hole distance.

    This is the booster I'm thinking of buying - Magura booster

    Is it a 2 or 4 bolt booster you are looking to run?

    i used to run the cnc magura 2 bolt booster on my pashley ( 90mm top spacing) and it fitted but the ' quick release' feature made it flexy.

    if its 4 bolt lokk at this

  2. I have kinda scaned this topic looking at the ' arguement'.

    Koxx are a premium brand, so you will pay a premium price.

    do you go onto specsavers forum and ask why are oakleys so much money when i can get 3 pairs of sun glasses for a tenner?

    or e- mailing intense and asking why there frames are £2000 when you can get a full suspension bike from tesco's for 70 quid....

    its all in context - Koxx have been a premium brand for years, like echo( deng) have been the mid range and Onza were the cheepies.

    the same reason you can get an mp3 player for 30 quid but an i pod stings you for 150 +

    i have many an example.........

  3. Yeah you can 'polish' the rust off but the damage is done, the dj forks have a plated coating on the stanctins and once they start to rust the seals run over it and they will die a slow death....

    best thing do do is get some wire wool, wd40/ gt85 and work the rust away but id advise looking for new uppers or forks. they might last ages, they might not.

  4. Hey every one,

  8. I thought i'd stick my tuppence worth in.........

    Er i have refrained from commenting on it ( other that jocking about with my friends/ loved ones who are brakeless- you know who you are)

    from speaking to the guys and hearing opinions i am starting to see a bit of an appeal- i know i wont be riding for a while but if it is still the done thing in the new year then i will give it a go- mabey, i am bad enough with brakes! lol

    I am not going to truely pass judgement until i give it a propper go.

  9. Just ride to enjoy riding, why worry about sponsors?

    That is what is wrong with this sport to much emphasis on sponsorship and not enough getting out there for fun, if you are good enough, the media you make is good enough and so on then it'll come your way- there is no set level or bar that gets you a sponsor....

    Just ride!
