Skoze Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Different jockey wheels and the tensile has more holes to put the spring in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 so the tensile is better and yet costs nearly 10 quid less... another Koxx home run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe@Onza Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Just want to point out it wasn't a catalogue product until the Tensile came out. Then anyone could buy it due to the manufacturer then putting it in thier portfolio. Its good tensioner, so fair play to anyone that wants to use it.

Alex Dark Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 i cant believe that this isnt copyrighted......is it the money thats the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 That's a bit sad if you designed it and the manufacturers just let anyone else put there names on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 That's a bit sad if you designed it and the manufacturers just let anyone else put there names on them.In all fairness onza has done a similar thing to koxx, the t pro springs to mind as a pretty much identical copy of the levelboss. Onza however got it the right way round by releasing something that was as good and cheaper rather than more expensive and not quite as good like koxx have done in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 doesn't onza have some sorta contract that gives them exclusivity for the first year with some stuff, then it's catalogued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Always difficult decisions when you develop a new product like this. Nothing patentable and nothing really unique which would make the design registrable which could not be easily got round. We could have paid for the tooling (about $3500 US) and kept it exclusive to us but someone else could easily have produced their own tooling. So the decision was made just to get a head start on anyone else and launch the product well in advance of anyone else. Our spec. is a little different and our price as always is competitive, but as our collaborator paid for the tooling we can do little to stop them selling the concept to other people. Luckily on this occasion we have the satisfaction of knowing what the rest of the world knows, that we got their first, and that our competitor takes our design, copies it, but makes it inferior and more expensive.
