    the name is koxx, but does anybody know why anyone would put that on a
    website, for those of you who don't know, it's here.

  5. Yoggi (trials champion) has apparently done 16 foot drops on the KOXX
    Devil with the KOXX ISIS hub, with it remaining in one piece. 'Nuff
    said. However, the seatpost is weak and will proabbly need replacing if
    you're going to do decent trials on it. How are you planning to get it
    for 200 (USD i presume)? It's £240 in the UK right now, or was
    that a typo?

    Is the try-all seatpost weaker than onza/kh 27.2 alu seatposts?
    Looks all the same to me. 🙂

    I'm just waiting for my onza-post will crack so i can go hunting for a
    27.2mm steel one... and maby buying a longneck frame for my freestyler
    to..
    Lets rock! 😉

  7. Ah rite, sorry unign, i was jumping to conclusions. lleberg, apparently
    they are, so much so that on UDC.uk.com it says 'We recommend upgrading
    the aluminium seatpost to a CrMo seatpost for trials unicycling.'
    whereas it doesn't for any of the other trials unicycles.

  8. The tube thickness on the KH 27.2mm Alu Seatposts is almost twice the
    thickness of the Koxx seatpost, which obviously saves a bit of weight
    but with Alu its the thickness that gives it the strength. I've snapped
    a KH seatpost already & I'm hardly the best trials rider around, so
    even a mediocre rider will snap the koxx seatpost quite quickly.

    Apart from that, the Koxx Isis hub & cranks is an excellent setup, and
    is definitely comparable in strength to the KH/Onza hub.

    Loose.

    You need to remember that Yoggi also did a 16' drop on a KH 2004 hub at
    UNICON .

    It is the rider that often makes more difference than equipment, Yoggi
    is a superb jumper. Kris has almost given up testing his cranks and
    hubs because he can not break them.

  12. I have that hub/crankset and it's great for me, but the biggest drop
    i've done is 5 foot. As for seatposts, I recomend this one:
