Little update on the bike! See original post.

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.

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.

Amazing, amazing and more amazing. Technical and huge riding is the hardest thing to do well and Danny has it nailed. Sweet edit too. Very nice on the eyes. Will be watching again!

Thanks for watching people! Really do appreciate it! Cheers Ross! Yeah I can't fault the Kloud really, had it a while now and it just feels right so probably not going to change anytime soon.

Hi all, About time I had a new video, so here it is! All filmed fairly locally! Cheers! http://vimeo.com/95714556

One of the best Natural videos for quite a while! Top riding from Danny. Some of that stuff is large and slippy and he makes it look comfortable.

We recently headed up to the Roaches to shoot some footage of team rider, Danny Butler. While the video is still in the editing stages, here are some pictures of his current setup. Very nice indeed! Look out for the video soon Photos taken by Mark Westlake.

Best Trials video of the year for me! Enjoyed it so much. Three very talented riders having fun and showing that its definitely not about the bike!

Hey all, Flipp and myself recently went on an extremely last minute road trip to Buthiers in France and here is what we managed to come up with. Just to give you an idea of what happened, on the Wednesday before, at dinner we started chatting about doing a trip over there, but were struggling to find a free weekend in the next 2 months, so we decided to try go on the coming weekend. On Thursday morning we booked the ferry and later that evening we were on our way and in France by the early hours on Friday morning. We stopped over and then did the rest of the journey through Friday but ended up getting stuck in Paris traffic for around 3-4 hours, which took away from our riding time a little. Anyhow we arrived Friday tea time and pretty much rode non stop until Sunday dinner. We then headed home! A fast, but extremely enjoyable trip. The weather was incredible too. With only around 2 days riding time there, I don't think we managed to film our best riding, but it's decent enough and hopefully worth a watch Anyway, thanks to Ads for letting us use the TartyBago, such a good roadtrip machine!

Just a quick update for people: Please note: Wristbands must be on your wrist at all times during the weekend while on site, this applies to both riders and spectators. Anyone not able to show their wristband on request will be asked to leave the venue. The spectator / guardian wristband is designed for parents or relatives who wish to come along for the weekend to watch. There is only limited space at Barrow Farm so we do have a limit on numbers for both riders and spectators. Helmets must be worn at all times by all riders. We've had a spate of people buying just spectator wristbands and so numbers for those are getting low. The event is designed for riders with the spectator ticket being aimed at allowing riders to bring along a relative or friend at no extra cost.

Sweet video Joe. The riding was cool, nice and relaxed too. Liked the long line across the sleepers and then back to a manual. See you Friday

Cheers Joe You not going to pop along to say hi?

Entered today. Looking forward to it.

Stupidly big moves coupled with awesome balance and technique. Winner.

Awesome work Mark. Lovely editing and a brilliant soundtrack to boot. Your knowledge of killer spots in London is also immense, so much fun! It's so good to see Ali on Natural again. I think people underestimate how good he is at that sort of riding. Joe and Ads were doing some awesome stuff in London, properly big lines but with control and style. I wish I could of come to Portsmouth and Hathersage! Thanks for letting me tag along on the London leg though guys

Or straight into the bin, bastards!

Yeah that's fine, I'll get an entry form filled in before I go to help save effort. Cya Sunday.

Yeah, will be cool to have a go on it I'll lock my bike up while that's happening though

Hi Robin, Due to a very late change in plans this weekend I can now make this comp, but It's going to have to be an enter on the day thing I think as I've missed the online entry. Is that going to be ok? Not rode Burrycliffe for years, but I remember it being decent, so would like to come along! Cheers, Stan. Edit: I've already got my 2013 membership, so that should help hopefully!

Wow, only just caught up on this thread. Not sure what happened on the last page but I'll ignore that. OAP, a few people have mentioned my foot stance before but there's no reason behind it. That's just where my foot feels comfortable Will try and do a Natural video next if the weather sorts it shit out! At the moment, indoor is more appealing than snow/rain.

Rail drop picture is sweet. Nice work. Bike looks good too.

I can't seem to get on Vimeo, so I think there site is down. The video still works from the embedded version in OP though.

Cheers. I've always had a decent bit of height at the front end. Just feels more like a bike then. I have no headset spacers, so it's probably not as high as it looks.

Cheers! With my forks, I think it's only 5mm lower than what my Echo was so I haven't noticed to be fair. The bike rides very closely to the how I had my Echo set up, but the Koxx feels stiffer. It's a really solid build. I've done the super duper light weight thing before, but I prefer to run parts which are durable and I get on with. I imagine with a different spec, it would easy to get the bike well under 9kg. Plus many people's way of weighing bikes is completely in-accurate haha! One other big bonus on the Kloud is the BB Yoke has tons of tyre clearance! My tyre fits in there easily.
