robster Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Robbie took deliveryof the replacement for his trusty wasp yesterday.a short Hydrox.He can feel the weight difference but the extra length and bigger back tire seem to make up for that as he is getting up bigger things allready.It will be his first outing on it on Sunday at Addingham.Watch this space for mods to it's weight, Fred and myself have plans for a super light version.Thanks Fred for supplying it at such short notice.Sorry about the picture it was done on my phone.Thanks JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robster Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 No he just hasn't put his lucky ones from when he was in MBUK on it yet.but yes it saves a huge amount. he also runs his tires with no air in em as well as this also saves weight.

Barbara Logan-Price Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 sweet bike that i remember him saying he wanted a longer bike at the brimham trial will see it in person hopefully tomorrow robbie is gonna be dominating now with that beast good luck for your first comp on that tomorrow robbie (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 out of interest what tyre presures does he run?God only knows, it all depends on if he is riding natty or street, dry or wet, muddy or hard pack. He seems to be getting on better with it than his wasp as it is a little longer and that is allowing him to tackle higher steps and hooks it is very steady on the back wheel he can carry more speed into things as well. He is well happy with it so far. We will see how much the little bit of extra weight affects him over a long hard trial tomorrow. I will let you know. I will add some pictures onto his page on the Koxx website when I get some.JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Mitchinson Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 First negative comment: It would look about 10 times nicer with black grips, black pedals and either white or black rims IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robster Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Little rob has just done his first trial on it, all went wel for about two thirds of the trial he than began to struggle with the extra weight. He did get round and finish with a few knocks and scrapes. He is still only 9 so he will i am sure get the hang of it and grow a little stronger, he is happy with the bike and the big added bonus is that I can play on it without breaking it.Thanks again fred all is well.As for the colours, we had to have what was available as we only got it on Thursday, it will grow on me as well.JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 looks like someone PRO prepped that bike hehe.Does suit him, im sure the weight thing he will get used to john, one other thing that will help his little arms would be a powerball, get him using it will reduce arm pump a bit (as it started creeping in with me on sunday)il help you save weight..................front wheel remove half the spokes same with rear. pedals 1 cage, get a drill, there useful nower days.Wayne.
