    Modifications:
    I cut about half an inch off each side of the bars, and also cut the seat post down as much as I can.

    Describe your personal bike setup.
    Not very trendy… I set it up for the way I ride, not the way the flavor of the month rides.

    Describe the contents of your personal bike tool bag.
    A DK Random Wrench v2, a set of metric allen wrenches, & a bunch of random nuts and bolts…

    What part do you wear through the quickest?
    Seats & tires. They take the brunt of my crashes…

    What part do you break most often?
    Probably forks… but that only happens about once every 4 months or so, and they only crack a little so I change them out right away!

    Do you patch flat tires or get new tubes?
    New tubes! Sponoed!

    Which parts are you paranoid about breaking?
    Forks!

    Where do your parts go when you’re done with them?
    A pile in my garage.

    Who builds your wheels? Anything special about them?
    They come in a box from Snafu.

    Cassette or freecoaster?
    Cassette. I don’t like doing rollbacks with no back pressure from the cranks. The only time I like that is when I snap my chain.

    Left side drive or right side drive?
    I run a left side drive so I don’t hit my sprocket when I grind.

    Kevlar bead or regular bead?
    The tires I have now are kevlar. I really don’t have that much of a preference, but I do like how light the Kevlar is and I haven’t had any problems with them really.

    Plastic pedals or metal?
    Magnesium. Light and strong, good pedals!
