As far as stock Koxxs go I think maybe 2 broke that were production models and 1 proto, as far as I can remember hearing about anyway they are immensely strong. Odd move going from a Gu to a Levelboss but I suppose if you like it then whats to lose so long as you prefer it. Looks quite nice. Have fun riding it, dont scratch it too quickly.

Cheers for the comments guys. As for the rim drilling, its not as good as it could have been. I marked up just to the edges of the large pre-drilled holes so I did not compromise strength too much, then got a 3mm drill and drilled though as central as I could. I then just got a metal countersink stuck that in the drill and countersuck them. To do it better I would have prefered to use my pillar drill but it was broken at the time. Not so much Mr. Money, I worked a lot from october to december to afford the majority of that bike and worked near full time the past month to afford the new parts lol. Well worth the work though. I run 17:15 gearing, sorry to dissapoint, also the reason I run the chain tensioner is that before I have run it perfectly tight and it has bent my axle as it put too much stress onto the hub axle. I am hoping in a week or two when the chain has stretch a bit that I will be able to take out a link and up tension it as its far too long at the moment. Might get a half link chain not sure yet. Glad a lot of people like it

My Czar cost around £2k mark, its pretty much fully pimped lol, I bought all of the parts that were not listed at christmas from tarty (bloody huge order which they remember ), they were originally on my Zoo! It rides amazing, after 10 mins I felty at home, 42" tap, just rolled straight up, so I thought fine I try a tap I have not made yet, 47" tap, straight up, its soooo nice to ride its unbelieveable. I find it nicer on the backwheel than the Zoo! 07 Pitbull. Again mixed views about coloured bikes lol, I personally think its lovely.

Ordered some new bits from tarty, fancied a change in frame, check out what arrived, now I have a huge smile on my face and will be going to build it now. Czar 07 Long Frame Echo External BB Echo Headset Plazmatic CRMs Hope Mono Trial Pads Pro Bolt Ti Rotor Bolts Pro Bolt Ti Rear Brake Bolts Simtra ReSystem Stem KMC K710 Chaion Viz Rim Tape Hebo Gloves Will post pictures of it compelte when its built. Its a mid summer treat for myself These frames have such a small seat tube, pictures just do not do it justice. UPDATE 1: Half built now, just stopping for a cup of tea as a true brit would, then time to finish truing the rear wheel Sorry J-Kay, its got coloured rims lol, taken the other parts off my Zoo!. Dont write it off yet though, I think it will look tasty. UPDATE 2: Fully built now, spec below. I personally think this might persuade some of the non bike colour people to change their mind, I personally think its damn stunning. Shame a few of the older components have scratches Other than that its lovely, only hopped around in garden so far and its sooo nice on back wheel, will update later when I have been out on it later tonight.

What makes it different is the fact it works with braided hosing. The monty one you push into the magura hose, braided hosing is very different and makes the brake a lot stiffer, well I have found it does, not tried it with CNC pad backings yet, that could by my next adventure, probaboly have an insanely stuff brake.

How well would a grind hold on magnesium rims????

Am I the only one who read that ????

I had to do this with my cranks, however they were pants being Onza Musclemans (broke some burns then got these for a quick fix) If you can return them I would and get some echo cranks, they have 5mm more bend in them so they clear the calipers a lot better. I have not had a single problem with my CNCd echo cranks, cant fault them at all.

I agree with the bars forwar motion. Looks quite nice, also no.20, one of the first lol.

Cartman

I voted Echos for now, as they are my summer pads as I do not really need a grind, got a grind but its very dead. I run Koxx Browns in the winter though, nothing beats these pads on a grind for wet weather they are truly amazing. Somthing Koxx did right, making good pads lol. I am not a fan of the rest of their products.

Well worth it. As for sharing pics with pc/laptop, search for the guide on the net using WMP, you can enable media sharing which is what I have done even though mine is all on wireless, it just didnt seem to work any other way. Also XBL is well worth the money

I meant its been 2 years since I rode one lol, not two years from now. I will turn up with single speed on and if they say "you cannot score points" oh well I am only going for fun, see if I enjoy them this time round.

Does anyone know if they are still enforcing the working 6 gears rule on stock bikes? I am going to be riding my first competition in like 2 years on sunday and currently only have single speed on my bike, do you think they will really care as I am only doing blue, seeing as I do not ride much natural. Its for essex if anyone rides their comps.

Give it a water bleed and it is damn lovely. As someone said due to the smaller piston sizes, you do not need to pull the lever as far to get the pads to move the same distance as you would on a Maggy. The way the hose is tucked away is like the greatest idea ever, how mant people have snapped their hose at the lever on a maggy?? It is near impossible on a dengura. The lever blade, body, calipers, mounts etc are all far superior quality to maguras too. Anyone who has had a problem with them must be a tard as mine has worked perfect even after taking all the hose off and water bleeding it.

As far as I can remember, they have all of those cars on display behind the grandstands. They did when I went anyway.

Shame those are not the 2007 ferraris and mclarens. Nice pics.

Yeah I did it up, was sexy though. Controller all the way, I can imagine the wheel would be good for keeping the cornering consistent as you can adjust it slightly better but its just a pain really paying £90 for a wheel.

I did the viper challenge in an SRT-10 or whatever the convertable Dodge is in the game. Anyone fancy a tf race tonight around 10:30?

Mine is UKK Sal0hcine Level 49, been doing a bit of OLC as I cant be bothered with all the endurance races lol. Will do them eventually.

What CPU you got ??

I think some people must not set them up properly, as ReverendJQ said, it holds perfect tension. Again I sidehop to the left so I am not sure about knocking it but it works perfectly fine. If your chain is short enough you can even up tension it

Playing games = LCD Not playing games = Plasma If you are playing games on a plasma they generally look horrible compared to the crisp image of an LCD. Also with the burning effect which is not desirable. Watching films on a Plasma screen though looks 10000x better than on LCD beacuse it has better black levels and the blacks/greys do not look washed out.

The only reason it looks better is because your downgrading the resolution. Watching a film that is 720 x 576 (btw thats standward pal widescreen) on a 19" widescreen pc monitor will look pretty poo. You put it onto a tv and it looks fab because its the right size to fit. Watch the same film on an hdtv using a normal xbox with standard defition and it will looks pants. Hope that made enough sense lol. I have no need I have a 32" tv in my room with 360 and pc connected to it. I can see your point though, kinda useful I guess.

*Changes Boxers* Damn thats nice, really tempted to buy one now
