Modifications: The bars have been extended to 29 inches with 22mm crank spacers, then threading in the bar end and covering the added width with the grip. The Thomson seat post was cut super small and the guts run backward. I have Ti bolts, axles, and nuts all over the place. Then I cut the fork tube down and it has a Tree headset cap. I think that’s it.
Describe your personal bike setup. Light, long and low.
Describe the contents of your personal bike tool bag. I carry a tool case in my car. I have all the basics to put a bike together more or less.
What part do you wear through the quickest? I would have to say rear tires from doing coping tire slides.
What part do you break most often? I don’t really break much. Maybe pop tubes from riding in shady areas.
Do you patch flat tyres or get new tubes? New 18″ tubes from Walmart!
Which parts are you paranoid about breaking? Forks for sure, a chain too if you are cranking at something.
Where do your parts go when you’re done with them? I give them away to the younger rippers.
Who builds your wheels? Anything special about them? I do usually. not much special.
Cassette or freecoaster? Cassette, I hate slack.
Kevlar bead or regular bead? Regular bead, the kevlar ones cost too much.
Plastic pedals or metal? PC, easier on the shins.
