Modifications:

Describe your personal bike setup:
It’s a Warriors Ride.

Describe the contents of your personal bike tool bag.
Random Wrench, chain breaker, tube, and chain.

What part do you wear through the quickest?
Back wheels, pedals, grips.

What part do you break most often?
Pedals, crank spindles.

Do you patch flat tires or get new tubes?
Tubes, but I don’t mind patching it up. It’s just that most times, the tube is too destroyed to be patched

Which parts are you paranoid about breaking?
Chains,it happens only once or twice a year, but I hate it, because I crash like every time, ha ha.

Where do your parts go when you’re done with them?
Friends,if it’s still rideable.

Who builds your wheels? anything special about them?
I get my wheels built up by the shop or myself sometimes with a little help from Billy.

Cassette or freecoaster?
Cassette, don’t really see the advantage of a freecoaster yet…

Left side drive or right side drive?
I grind on the right side, so my sprocket is on the left.

Kevlar bead or regular bead?
I don’t even know what that means. I think I’m not up to date enough.

Plastic pedals or metal?
Plastic, because it’s lighter.
