  1. As a matter of fact, very few parts are identical. Mainly headsets, brake clamps, levers, rockrings and... well that's about it. Boosters have different stiffness and weight, some cranks are more rigid, some are lighter. Most bars have different geometry as well. A year ago you could also buy Adamant, Czar etc. hubs, but those have been discontinued. Frankly speaking, stocking all these items is a nightmare. As for the reason for all this, there are people who will want to change their headset and brake clamps after getting a new frame. It's all just a matter of maximizing income.
  2. Finally some useful advice on these rims. Will probably get some next year.
  3. That looks like something Bealey would ride
  4. that is absolutely amazing!
  5. They don't give away things for free. So at the end of the day, you'll end up paying for that console in one way or the other.
  6. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  7. Stock, but I'd like to get an Inspired as a second bike next year.
  8. iCharlie? Thank god he's back in NMC...
  9. Stop destroying my clever words!
  10. I do hope he goes back to 72deg head tube angle. 71 is just awful and should be banned
  11. Definitely Onza/BT/TryAll (essentially the same thing) for the rear. Ran a 40mm Echo on the rear, finally decided to get a BT (eyeletted TryAll) which is not only 7mm wider, but lighter and probably just as strong I think Deng has gone over the top with the strength of his rims for 2007. The 46mm stock rim weighs 899g whereas the front one is about the same weight as most rear rims. As for front rims, the TryAll is just pathetic when it comes to strength. Would like to try the DOB soon, since it's bound to be stronger than the TA and yet it's lighter.
  12. Small bump. You sure about that weight? Just weighed my bike, the lightest I can get it is about 9,7kgs with DOB rims and twin Control brakes. The strange thing is, that most of the parts would then be much lighter than the ones you use on your Ozonys. Doesn't make sense to me. What inner tube do you use on the rear?
  13. The price policy of Koxx is the same for all dealers, so I doubt you can get them much cheaper in France. edit: you can deduct VAT if you buy outside the EU, but you are then obligated to pay VAT in the country the goods were imported to.
  14. Was that a "take the hint" present? I got a lamp, a fancy shirt, calendar and a usb hub.
  15. Lack of braking power when the speed dial knob is on the minimum setting. If you increase the power, the brake becomes so spongy it's just unusable and dangerous. Don't want to go into details, written about this issue many times on this forum. I'm hoping a 220mm Mono Trial will be better. The BB7 is deffo the best brake out there, it's just not good enough to be used on the rear wheel in my opinion. Bike looks super fit, definitely the nicest looking Toxsin I've seen so far.
  16. Repost, but it's a brilliant vid. Typical Spanish style
  17. Nope, front wheel drive If you're interested, I think you should look for the '92 1.6i with 143bhp. Absolutely stunning car. Looks much better than the first models as well There's also a 1.6L v-tec developing 160bhp but you won't notice much difference between that and the 1.6i as long as you keep the weaker version at high revs. The v-tec will definitely be MUCH more expensive, and might be more expensive to insure as well (dunno about the policies in the UK). The car has a pretty large boot, you can easily get 2 bikes in and lots of luggage. There's a problem with passengers though, it doesn't really have proper seats in the rear. None the less, you can temporarily accommodate 5 people, they just won't feel too comfortable. Fuel consumption is good, about 7.3L/100km. Don't like the gearing though, if you're planning to drive fast on motorways, be prepared to have to rev the engine.
  18. Might express my gratitude as well. I'd give you an Inur's Seal of Approval, but I've run out.
  19. I thought Adam Griffin's user name was annoying, but yours is just beyond the joke Get it sorted
  20. Oh shit man, that sounds very nasty Hope you get better soon, good luck...
  21. You should say Happy Holidays Teezr, change that before they put you into a Norwegian prison
