PaRtZ Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Nothing major, had my hydroxx mod pretty much 12 months now and its cracked in two places. One is on the top tube where i gave it a massive dent in the first week, the second is on the non drive chain stay. This isn't a ranting "koxx are crap" thread before someone jumps to it btw.Pretty good frame to be honest If people wondering how strong they are well, now you know Id get some pictures up but meh, they're just cracks....

Chris Elson Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't want this thread to turn out as an argument, but just because one person's frame has cracked dosnt really mean that another person's is going too. All depends on the rider really, people complain about koxx parts but they are for mainly competition use really. Anyway try and get it welded its worth it.

Chris Elson Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 No one has mentioned it Parts was saying about the lifespan in his title , basically telling everyone after 12 months they are going to crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'd look into getting it professionally welded and heat treated, my mate had it done on his PR, last until he sold it. Still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
