Verry nice indeed,

If im not mistaken, im pretty shore those are the limited editon gold backings with coust material that heatsink did?

Nope, not them, the ones ben is running i belive were some of the first cnc backings made by a or for a guy called Andreas Kolpen, i remember seeing his coustellier with those backings.

Bike looks loverly, realy like the new hydroxx frames!

Wow! that is awesome, i dont often post comments on people's bikes, but that looks awesome! When i saw you ride it at that shipley national i just thought, "i want that!" and its not just cos ur a good rider! there's something about the bar stem set up that it very appealing as well!

No i dont think they are mate, i saw them at a comp, they're something special, but im not sure what, i think ive seen other Koxx riders using them.

To be fair, thats the way it should be. Moto trials bikes are like that. Its not just a way of making it lighter, its the simplest way of doing it, if u've only got one gear, then why have a rear mech, or a device that attaches to a mech hanger?? Its take a while to catch on and i think this is mainly because of the 5 gear competition rule that kicked up so much fuss. But now that its gone, and stock bikes are looking more and more like mods, just with bigger wheels, ie, large bb and handle bar rise, the gates have opened for stock frames with horizontal dropouts.

I still think that it is a a pain to align a wheel every time slacken te back wheel bolts, especially for magura brakes, but also for the increasingly popular rear disk. So is the best option a dropout without a mech hanger with a small chain tensioner in between the chainstay and the hub?? I dont mean to be biased, but Leeson-esque seems the most sensible option, plus, wheelbase is never affected.
