never heard of them. Nice lookin hubs. Like CK's on a diet. Where are they based out of? It would appear they have no distributors in North America.

Apparently the rims are basically the same as try-all. Other than that I don't know.

What, to make a simple product that will sell and work well when combined with ffw cranks instead of a complicated, expensive product that will be many times worse then a king?

Just doesnt make sense for a small trials company to try to compete with a company that can (and does) sell to all types of bikers.

That said, anyone heard anything about that hub Zoo! was supposed to be putting out?

yeha, they're still working on it. i don't expect it to be good at all - they seem to have a problem with making things quality and precise.

zoo's new cranks give any other crank on the market a run for their money.

I would suspect that the Zoo's hub is going to be like a Hadley. Making something like a king would be pretty damn expensive.

As far as Viz goes. They just sell copies of other products. TryAll, BT hubs etc

i ride a VIZ-rim on the rear of my bike.quality is the same than try-all but the rims have eyelets!that make it easier to build up the wheel.

all in all,VIZ is cheaper than try-all an echo,but has the same quality.i think its a good alternative to the ohter trial-parts producing companies!

purple rims with the purple koxx bars would look hot.

A fair few people in the UK are using their products, Dan Ko is distributing them here.

Have a look on your favorite website, www.trials-forum.co.uk
for some info.

If you search, there should be a few threads with reviews on their shizzle :)
