Blasphemy. Your word is law. You obviously were just thinking that whacking a star nut in would kill the threads, and so it's a last resort, like me I will keep that in mind though Mark

Bummer Ok then. It's survivable - just something I could do without Thanks.

Righto. I'll have a look see. It's a King - so I'll be upset if it's gone bad. By "something up", do you imply the cups not being square/or something of that calibre?

I guess I worded it badly. It's not tight when it's starting to stick to the spacer/stem. Forks can still freely wobble around in the headset, but to do it up any tighter I have to turn the stem with it. I guess "seizing" is a bit of a strong word, too - but it's sticking and generally being difficult.

If you have good tyres, shit tubes are fine. I've used wilko's £2 tubes inside Try-All tyres for about 6-7 months now, and pinched probably 5 times.

I've had them a while now - and they did it right from the word go, but it's getting a tad annoying as it makes getting just the right "torque" difficult. (It's in inverted commas as I'm not sure if it can be classed as torque or not ) Basically - the top-cap REALLY doesn't enjoy twisting around the top of that which it's pulling down on, and makes turning very difficult. I've got a spacer between the top-cap and the stem, and I've tried greasing the rim of the spacer too. As soon as it gets anywhere near tight enough, it won't really turn without turning the stem. Untill now - I've had to turn the stem with the top-cap, then twist it back when it's tight enough whilst holding the top-cap still. Any methods you guys know that'll ease it up at all? Cheers, and apologies for the poor sentance structure and wording. I'm very tired.

You ride that bike surprisingly well considering how small you look on it. Really rather good!

That really does look nice. I'm not interested in getting one, but I am interested to know if there's any word on the top-spec one's price? Only complaint would be the colour - and not because I don't like the red. That British racing green the prototype had was lovely.

No idea. Getting it pretty cheap - and hopefully looking weak will train me to ride smoother

Spec-wise doesn't get much nicer, though - and I don't know which bits - I'd've put a bit of green componentry on it to compliment the frame. Rim tape, perhaps. Not sure. Very nice either way - and the feel and performance is more important anyway

Didn't Maher have a blue one for a while before offing to foreign lands?

Onza T-Pro - sold. Onza Zoot - still got in the basement. Leeson 609 - still got as a brakeless aside. Koxx Levelboss (mod) - cracked. Onza Comp - cracked. Bionic B4S - en route.

Agreed on the brand. Somewhat cheaper - I have the Sennheiser HD215's. They're no match for the 25's, but they sound rather damned nice, and are still comfy after being worn for a good few hours at a time. Not the best - just giving you more options if you want something cheaper. I'm no expert - but most Sennheiser headphones seem to be a good way to go. Edit: It seems they've gone UP in price quite considerably. I just looked them up. When I got them a couple of years ago, they were £30 on Amazon. Now they're £55

Get this frame. You will not regret it. You'll want a fairly long stem to compliment it - but I've never ridden a nicer frame.

Jesus guys - all he did was put a thread in the wrong section! It's not like he was being a tool or anything - people put threads in the wrong section all the time, more senior members included. I think you may have over reacted just a tad.

I noticed the other day that you had >15,000 posts, and wondered how the hell you managed it. Reading this thread, I got my answer Thanks for defending Koxx - I had similar thoughts, but no idea how to express them - and no-one else seems to be doing it.

.

Wait - does this make me the first person to kill one then? If you're saying they're durable... Mine died today - on the bash mount - like every other frame I wouldn't get it as an upgrade - but if you kill your freame and need a new one, I'd CERTAINLY reccomend it. Very nice riding frames.

I have the same amplifier as you I just thought I'd tell you that.

Quoted to add emphasis to the absolute truth. Not the lightest, but they're bloody bombproof. Had mine ~6 months and they're stiff as hell.

I suppose that's fair enough.

Son of a bitch. I wanted to use that Massive Attack song! Excelent video - but I really do prefer the earlier ones with more street.

That rolling gap looks a lot smaller than it felt I know the aspect ratio's out - but even so... Bummer
