  1. Why do so many people argue about a trials frame, not being flat, for
    trials use?

    You dont need a flat crown for trials, unless all of you guys are
    buying trials unis to learn freestyle?

    I think this frame looks great. I heard about the prototype breaking
    like a DX frame would, but is there any enws yet on these new frames?

  2. I'm guessing that sense they are being sold now theyre stronger, but I'm
    not sure. it would be better for trials than the KH, but for
    street(depending on what kind of street you do) a KH frame would be
    better.

  3. @Evan:

    What is your point about them using the same aluminum peice in both
    welds?
    I have no doubt in my mind that anything koxx or koxx-one makes is very
    durable.

    about the carbon fiber frame,
    it wouldnt be cost effective - carbon fiber is expensive in large
    amounts, and a frame's worth of carbon fiber would no doubt be in the
    high-hundreds, or more likely, few-thousands

    it would be more ergonomic to make a carbon fiber -reinforced- frame,
    since carbon fiber alone lacks the elasticity that common metals have -
    your frame and seatposts are exposed to high stress (assuming we're
    talking trials/muni) and require the ability to flex, even if it is
    only a small fraction of a centimeter. carbon fiber will crack before
    it gets the chance to bend. a crack in your CF frame could be very
    dangerous for you, not to mention a loss of a hefty amount of money.

  6. I think every trials unicyclist do a few street/freestyle tricks too.
    Even Kris Holm do gliding and coasting. I also cant see something what
    makes the frame worth the money, if it is heavier than the Kris Holm
    frame.

    I didnt say that the XTP was stronger...Im saying that the KH frame is
    not as indestructable as some may think.

    Yeah for sure, everything if destructable.
    But the KH should last long if you are not Ryan Atkins.😄
    But it's no problem for him, he get's a new one for free (I hope)

  8. Thats the best thing on KH I think, for example Wogri get a new one for
    free too, when his frame broke, and he is not sponsored by Kris Holm. A
    guy from Germany has destroyed his Koxx cranks. When he asked yoggi for
    new ones, or rabat on new ones, Yoggi only said, that he must practice
    often do get a better technik.

    Destroyed his Koxx cranks?
    Damm those are strong cranks, how did he do that:p
    Got a picture of the cranks?
    But I think it would be fair if the guy gets a new pair off cranks.

  10. He dont destroyed them realy, but the "thing" inside the crank where the
    pedall is in, get losely (yes he use pedall spacers). Because of this
    the pedall could move.

    The cranks are round just like the KH one's.

  13. Those 2 street unis look sweet! The cranks are ISIS and round also. I
    wonder how they will hold up compared to Profile,KH, and his other Koxx
    ISIS aluminum cranks.

    why doesn't KH or Koxx or someone design a nice, strong, lightweight
    trials frame with a long neck? I can't think f any disadvantages to
    it...

    The disadvantage is the shorter people cant ride your frame. having few
    differnt sizes could solve that, but create problems for retailers.

    the cnc looks like overkill to me, and it dosent support the seat tube
    at all. i think a slim cnc block that supports the legs, and seat, and
    is flat for one foot stuff would look awesome be stronger and lighter
    than this frame.
