Hendrix Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Description- Super light and super pimp rear derailleur by Try-All.- Full 7075-T6 and 6Al/4V titanium construction.- Short lower cage keeps the weight down and gives better clearance on obstacles.- Works with all speeds of cassette (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) with Shimano cable pull shifters.- Weight: Only 163g!Maybe why ? Could still be a typo though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 They come on the XTP-R as standard. Very nice and all, made by Tiso for road racing if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 It's not THAT expensive. SRAM X0 rear mechs are £180 (RRP) and those V-Racing ones are considerably lighter and more exclusive. I wouldn't run one, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak T Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) COUGH COUGH seriously doubt its a typo... expect only team riders will be running themYup i do think the only people that will use it are the teams.Looking at all the koxx bikes most of them do not have mechs.Oakland Edited March 17, 2008 by oakland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis.jackson Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 What the hell are koxx trying to do with the price of there stuff now.Are they trying to make them selves out of business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 £250 for that you'd be afraid to scratch it once. not worth the money considering the likelyhood of damaging it. even the materials used to construct this work of art doesn't justify no more than £70 max. its a beautiful piece of work but no one here is gonna pay for that when a Shimano Sora, or Saint mech does the job fine.

AdamR28 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 They come on the XTP-R as standard. Very nice and all, made by Tiso for road racing if I remember right.Yep, and the Tiso ones are £300+!Some people are prepared to spend the extra for TOP performance... just not many!Surprised people haven't seen the VR mechs before, they've been out for a couple of years now.

Greetings Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 That's a re-branded mech, it's the Tryall name that makes it expensive. You can get an identical one just with a different logo for about 70 pounds. Found them on a German trials forum, forgot the name though.

Si-man Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 My sram X0 one was light as hell. Was even lighter with the carbon jockey wheels that weighed 5grams lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Carbon jockey wheels are usually only a gram or so lighter than their plastic equivalents. The mech is a very nice road mech I'd love to see someone rape one haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
