PaRtZ Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 spot the spelling mistake... Any idea what the non compliance is? Never known a product recall on trials parts before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 spot the spelling mistake... Any idea what the non compliance is? Never known a product recall on trials parts before I think there were a fair few failures at koxx days They were snapping just below the stem from what I have read!

Ali C Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I feel sorry for the retailers, this is gonna be a pain in the arse for them! It does amuse me that koxx had some of the most reliable forks out, but then decided that everyone likes light weight stuff that breaks, so made some forks that do exactly that. Suckers. Oh yeah, they spelt "campaign" wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Any idea what the non compliance is? Usually refers to something which is enforced... They didn't forget to put the 'lawyers lips' on the dropouts or something did they? It may be a minor mis-translation though and that the non compliance is with their own designs- wrong material/treatment or wall thickness used at the factory.

Adam Just like my old Koxx/ Try-All forks did. And mine were only 5 months old. Lasted longer than a set of Echo SLs anyway. Never think Im going to be running them again. 07 set of Lites and Im happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) The black ones aren't being recalled. Any idea why? I can only assume I'm wrong, but I'd've thought they'd make them all on the same production line, and then send them off to different finishing areas. Are the different colours slightly different models, or is there a strengthening agent in the black paint?

AdamR28 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Any idea why? Completely different batch. We'll probably never know exactly why mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
