    Modifications:
    I drilled out my rear axle and also trimmed off what stuck past the axle nuts. I machined the axle nuts to work with a 17mm socket instead of a 19mm socket to work with my tree pegs. I grinded my seat post clamp off to create a clean look for my Animal wedge post.

    Describe your personal bike setup:
    It’s just a bike made of parts I like and trust.

    Describe the contents of your personal bike tool bag:
    Socket, allen wrenches, chain breaker, butter knife, patch kit and a spoke wrench.

    What part do you wear through the quickest?
    Tires.

    What part do you break most often?
    Tubes.

    Do you patch flat tires or get new tubes?
    Patch tubes.

    Which parts are you paranoid about breaking?
    I try not to think about those things but probably forks, front wheels and chains.

    Where do your parts go when you’re done with them?
    Friends, if they’re in decent shape.

    Who builds your wheels? Anything special about them?
    I build them. There is nothing special about them. I ride brakeless so I rarely true them, haha.

    Cassette or freecoaster?
    Cassette, I can never get used to the chain slack in a freecoaster.

    Left side drive or right side drive?
    Left side.

    Kevlar bead or regular bead?
    Both. I used to have kevlar beads in both tires but I got mad flats so I switched my back tire to a regular bead and have been having good luck since.

    Plastic pedals or metal?
    Metal, I tried plastic but wasn’t comfortable on them. I switched them back in a day.
