Wright Pads Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I just seen a pic of the Koxx V-Racing with dual disc. Has it always been dual or is this a new thing from Koxx as i did hear they are going with disc mounts on all there new stuff latter this year/early next.Also is is a std, +20, +30 +40?Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I dont think that the disc mounts have been there forever, so i dont know anything about it. Its probably pretty new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty kid Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 on the 06 they only ran a front disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 they did a few with rear disc mounts when they first started making them... ones that have rear discs have been about for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Looking at that picture I'd say that its a +40 or +50 mount, as that looks like a standard front 160 caliper, but the rotor looks like a 203 or 210. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abe Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I dont know what size it is but the position of the caliper is awesome.there should be more bikes like that in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I think it's a +40mm with a 160 NO.3 caliper on there, so 200mm disc!+40mm would not work like that though pete, +40 on the rear means a 160mm front caliper would work with a 180mm rotor (remember rear mounts is 20mm smaller than front) From what i recal the frames were +50 (i think) so that a front 160mm caliper could be run on the rear with a 190mm rotor (koxx like that size fo some reason) And like has already been said, there were not many made, that perticlular one was owned by a rider who i know of as Andreas (i think) Kolpen i know the sirname is right, not sure about he first name,........Hope that clears it up Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 +40 works with a 160 to make 200, as does the koxx forks!I spoke with Tarty and Dave to conferm when i did my frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence y to fit a 200mm rotor on the rear with a front 160mm caliper you WOULD need a +60 frameI can prove this easily, my simtra has a +40mm disk mount, to fit a 200mm rotor i needed a front 180mm caliper, not a 160mm!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 180 is totaly differntAnyway all sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 180 is totaly differntAnyway all sorted!160mm front and 160mm rear calipers are COMPLETELY different, a rear 160mm caliper is the same as a front 180mm caliper!!!!!! trust me, i had a rear 200mm disc, and for it to work i needed a FRONT 180mm caliper which if used on a normal iso rear mount would be a 160mm!!!AdamPS: i can't be arsed to arguye any more, i know what i am on about and i know i am correct!

Luke Rainbird Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Biggy's right Pete,This is how some people get away with running a rear calliper up front with a larger disc. Ie running a 180mm disc on a 160mm rear calliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well why would Adam Read tell me differnt, my frame work with a +40mm mount, hope spec it!Part number to claiper numbers are totaly differnt. Also when it's a +mount on the rear things change.Anyway this topic is done was ages ago when James gave me an answer i was after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) Listen to Bigman, he's right. A front caliper used on the rear will only work for a 20mm smaller disc. The lever I bought from you Pete, was to change my rear brake into a front one. Now I'm running a 180mm rotor without any adaptors. But when I had that brake on the rear, I used the same rotor AND a +20mm adaptor.edit: one other thing, you can design a frame to take the same disc size on the front as on the rear with the same caliper but that's not an international standard. So I guess your frame is just different. Edited November 10, 2006 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfrost Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I believe there was someone who was selling one of these beuties. I think he was Andres Kolpen (maybe the spelling is wrong) A really great looking frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Just cause its expensive, doesnt make it better/good.to be honest id prefer to have my holroyd then that, cause if it goes wrong, its just going to dent rather then crack and snap.

It seams i may of come across that way!Indeed your right, your frame has a uber thick downtube and yet to have a dent! Like me to try?The geo, build kit, setitng up of the V racing is what makes it work better than other out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
