bit like try-all rimks but i dnt think theres as much of an angle on the trialtechs

well then why dont they sort that weak point pahah thats my point. especially with something like a frame where so many different stresses are going to be put on it in different directions lol. pah w.e hydroforming means u can make the utbe thicker and thinner where u please, so if its too strong make the thickest bit thinner, thus gettin rid of useless wieght as its guna snap at the stay for example lol

ok so we were walking towards a camp site at about 12:30-1:00am ish along this country path, and my mate (adam) stops and he was like wtf is that!!??? so me and alex walked back to him like errm what, he points at the sky and about a third of the way up the horizon so like at 30 degrees theres this f**kin huge (well bigger then a star anyways) red light , so we stand there like, oh its just a plane or a helicopter. then we realise after a few mins by comparing it to a close by star its not moving the slightest so it cant be a plane. hmmm helicopter then? right then its a case of, if that is a light on a chopper then with it being so big and bright we should be able to hear the thing, or see more off it, like a flashing light or something???? we all totaly confused! and then just as we give up and are about to walk off it starts moving and weirdly. so now its like, holy shit! it cant be something coming into the atmosphere cause its too slow, too consistant and has no trail on it what so ever! theres no noise, and huge! (bigger then a light youd see on a plane if it was directly above and, and this thing is seriously far away) it cant be a satalite as it stayed stationary with no change in light for waaaay too long and its freakin red! so were stood there pointing like what the hell is going on!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh and just as things coudnt get any worse it splits into two (each half as bright and big as the original light) and one half goes and falls out the sky with a like instant accelaration goes down at a slight angle towards the horizon then curves off and dissapears out of sight behind trees, leaving the other light static in the sky which then fades out in a way it looks like its traveling away from us, and f'ing fast too. the one that fell did it like as if you were to drop a burning bit of paper, it sort of gracefuly fluttered/drifter down but precisely at the same time this all took about 5/10 minutes and the part that fell, went faster then anything iv ever seen move in the sky, literaly would be like a jet bout 100ft up going mach1 lol then we all just stand there gobsmacked silent, like what the hell just happened. i was expecting an explosion from the part that fell or something or fck nos what! the lights were just too perfect with no sign of the slightest trail to be anything like a meteor or whatever im just so confused, iv never come accross something like this that i just can not explain the slightest we all felt totaly spooked out and i still do

i think after today no rim iv had before would still be perfectly strait with no flatspots or dents. its a trialtech sport rim, pretty good. and iv used echo urbans till now, and had an sl rim. trialtech all the way, and theyre also lighter.

thats very nice but my god some of that welding looks sloppy part from that its lush, like the colour also nice and simple. and this is where koxx fail. if it snaps at the welds it could be just due the poor standard of welding. and if you want to find weak points in the frame why give to one of the smoothest riders out there they bring out very overpriced expensive frames, which then have stupid weak points which could oh so easily be sorted out without adding more weight. at least with deng frames they have a habbit of cracking anywhere, which means every part of the frame is equaly as strong as the next part. but iv noticed koxx frames (depending on which model) always snap at the same points! which is just crap designing if you ask me. whats the point in making expensive strong hydroformed downtubes if there 3x stronger then the chain stays? surely take some more wieght off the tube and add it to the chainstay, thus making the frame stronger. this is the reason why im yet to get a koxx frame. not enough thought has gone into the frames for that much buck.
