    Who the hell cares. Koxx ISIS splined is by far more crank and hub than
    I will ever be able to ride. Nathan had a problem, but it was fixed
    quickly and never been anything further. I am a 200 pounder and I have
    had no problem. I love my KOXX-1 cranks and hub and I don't understand
    who the hell would buy a moment hub and put Qu-ax cranks on it or try
    to put Koxx cranks on a moment hub or put anything Kris holm anywhere
    near Koxx-1 or Qu-ax anyway without risking spontaneous internal
    combustion. They are all fine in thier own respsct and weren't ment to
    be interchanged in the first place so who cares what fits what.
    Just my $0.02

    Dude, you missing ::the whole point of ISIS even existing.:: The point
    of having an ISIS hub is so that you can switch out cranks whenever you
    want and whatnot. They ARE meant to be interchanged.

  2. yea isis mean international slined interface *STANDARD*

    so everything is standardised and you can have any isis cranks you want
    on any isis hub. so far everyone has got it right except koxx.

    The thing is we are forced into buying a certain hub depending on what
    kind of cranks we want and if the old cranks break you are forced into
    getting the same kind again or rebuilding your wheel with a new hub. I
    have a koxx hub on my uni and I really like the look of the new KH
    cranks and theoretically I should be able to get some and use them but
    koxx messed it up.

  4. I'll bet you any money that if you ask KOXX why thier hub doesn't fit
    other cranks, they say "because we want you to use our cranks" Pepsi,
    Coke, It's all the same thing anyway isn't it. And what if the
    manufacturer that makes KOXX's hubs just didn't get the specs right, is
    that KOXX's fault. Ask Darren why he has to keep shimming his frames.
    I'll bet that isn't his fault at all. Maybe the real victim in all of
    this is KOXX. In fact, I bet they didn't even know about it until
    someone on this forum found out.
    I'll be waiting for my RECALL slip in the mail.

    Well nobody thinks they did it on purpose but the bad thing is that
    they still advertise it as ISIS when it isn't and they probably know
    about it by now. The shim on the Bedford frame is completely different.
    Most frames I have seen are not perfect. If it is off by so little that
    a little piece of yellow tape or whatever can fix it then there is no
    harm done at all. Buying a hub thinking that you will be able to use
    any ISIS cranks then finding out you can't kind of sucks.

    So if your car breaks the manufacturer could say "Oh, that part that
    broke wasn't acutally produced by us, so its not our fault, actually we
    are the victim here!".

    When Koxx orders some Hubs from a manufacturer they must check if it
    was produced according to their specs. With the ISIS specs this is
    really simple and shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
    If they are too lazy or to dumb to do this, they should not produce or
    sell anything.

    It's also quite a coincidence that the Koxx cranks are the most
    expensive unicycle-cranks by far. Would be really a pity for Koxx if we
    could use the cheaper KH ones, wouldn't it? If I could by the Koxx
    street cranks for 60€ (like the moment cranks) that would be
    fine, but 100€? Looks like a 40€ special Koxx-ISIS-tax to
    me...

  8. i own a koxx ISIS hub and crank set.

    i dont care what the hell they call it, i'll only ever buy koxx hubs
    and cranks again. I really like them and am enjoying them, i dont care
    if they dont fit other hubs or cranks, cause i wont ever want to.

    Sorry Dude, I don't know where you are getting your KOXX stuff from,
    but its the cheapest set of cranks and hub that we can get in Canada.
    About $185.00 shipped to my door. Cranks alone are $70.00ish dollars.
    BEATS THE HELL OUT OF $250.00 Kris Holms/Onza. Probably only $20.00
    more expensive than the Moment hub and cranks. And YOUR COMPARING
    APPLES TO ORANGES. THE ALLOY KOXX CRANKS ARE THE SAME PRICE AS KRIS
    HOLMS ALLOYS. THE STREET CRANKS ARE COMPARABLE TO KRIS HOLMS CRO-MO
    ONZA.

    Second, I didn't say that they would tell you, "Oh it's not my fault",
    I just said that it isn't thier fault. Yoggi is the squarest shooter in
    Unicycling today and has replaced or fixed any problem that has been
    brought to him. I'll bet that if you package up your KOXX-1 hub and
    cranks and send it back with a letter stating that you hate it because
    it's not ISIS, you would have your money back in a heart beat.

    As I said before, I have KOXX-1 140mm cranks and hub. It was cheap, it
    works great and I would never want to put any other cranks on my hub
    anyway. KOXX-1 works for me and if they don't work for you because you
    think they lie or they decieve, great, don't buy thier stuff and there
    will be more for the rest of us who LOVE IT.

  15. The Koxx cranks are $79USD from renegade and the KH moment cranks are
    $76USD from udc.

    I really like koxx stuff too and at the moment I wouldn't have a reason
    to get any cranks other than the ones I have. In the future when more
    and more ISIS cranks come up I wouldn't be able to use them when I am
    supposed to be able to. It doesn't make me mad but they should just
    stop calling it an ISIS hub if ISIS cranks won't fit it.

    I think it would be like if Miyata advertised that any seat would fit
    on their seatposts when you can really only use the miyata/lx seat.
    Then some people would be mad and some people would just say "why would
    I ever want a different seat?"

    I really want shorter cranks for my uni, so would like to buy new ones
    as soon as possible. For me the options are K1 Street cranks or the
    125mm moment cranks, but not the K1 alu ones because of their inferior
    shape for street. And of cource for me the European prices matter. By
    the way, your Caps-Lock seems to be defect.

    I do like my K1, it has not failed on me. The new KH uses many good
    ideas that Koxx introduced to unicycling.
    But Koxx and Yoggi had all the time in the world to reply to this
    ISIS-issue (apart from the problems that Lutz named). All Yoggi did was
    to post a cocky reply in Kris Holms thread. Though to be fair I really
    should email them about this. If I could get a cashback for my uni I
    would happily accept it and get a KH insteat.
