RobinJI Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 210mm magura SL rotor Why do you need 'curveed raked forks' anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Frame doesn't look right with anyhting eles, i renered Zoo's, hi-fi's, urbans yuck, Koxx looks okay but the Controls perfect but looking out for othersUmm it'll do but not really what i was after as it wont match tut rear!

Krisboats Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 So are the koxx forks +30mm then? Can't say i've ever really looked at koxx forks so i dont have a clue.Could you not have one made specially, seeing as you know all these people and your dad owns EBC, they makes brakes for all sorts of things as i'm sure your well aware. Maybe get him to make you a one off?I think if your going to be this fussy about how it looks the only real option is to get one custom built, though i don't know where you'd need to go or who you'd need to ask for this.

RENDER Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 KOXX forks are to heavy... ECHO Controll are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim-p Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) i've heard that koxx forks are easily snappable so i wouldn't recommend them but i would get some viz curves if you wanted to get something Edited November 16, 2006 by jim-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 So are the koxx forks +30mm then? Can't say i've ever really looked at koxx forks so i dont have a clue.Yeh they seem to like 190mm rotors for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 My Dad (sum Dad he is) owns EBC and Spike they guy in charge of the mtb there is my godfather.From the EBC website:"Founded in 1978, the EBC Brakes Group is still a private company owned exclusively by the current managing director Andy Freeman."Go on then Pete, why isn't it Andy Wright?I remember back in the S7 days that someone with motorcycle links with EBC rang up asking for a Mr Wright. Turns out the only person who matched who you claimed was your Dad worked in a warehouse, he wasn't the owner of the company...Umm it'll do but not really what i was after as it wont match tut rear!Then get a matching Magura disc for the rear too?

Wright Pads Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 My mum when she was alive got re marrried...though of that and maybe the fact Andy is not my direct biological father and a hell of a lot more!Many people these days do not have the same surnames as there ''father/dad''!Also Jonathen Wright is wearhouse maganger, he's the man you go to more than anything on the motorcycle side of things.EBC have there discs made in Thiawan.It has to be a Hope Mono trials cos i have some after work done to my disc to change the shap, pad contact aera and weight to them!Koxx forks do snap...how ever i never said thats what i exactly wanted.Echo Controls seam spot onViz as much as Dan and i have let what be be, i don't like the look of them sadly!BT's just too big nd gash i think for my new frame!
