Candles. Seriously. Dollar store. No point in spending tons of money on legit wax when a candle will do just the same.

Haro had an issue with some of their wheels, no joke. Call them up.

I don't have brands for that that I "have" to run. I get my pants at walmart cause 9 bucks for pants that last me a few months is hard to beat. Especially when other pants cost like 50+ a pair. Fuck that noise. I have a couple BMX ... more »

Ride with 4 all the time, or 3 all the time, or 2 all the time and don't change it up.

No, chances are good you cannot just grab a random crank and put it on. If you post a photo we can better help you.

No, and that very likely would still not pass as lights on your bike.

This kid is a retard. Seriously. Do whatever you like to do man. Who gives a shit what trendy little bastards think?

Pics or it didn't happen.

I get that all the time. I had a lady complain that we didn't stock a 310 mm STRAIGHT PULL SPOKE FOR A MAVIC WHEEL FROM 2007. She literally said "You guys should stock everything you have ever sold so issues like this don't come up". Our company has ... more »

I still say the last good generation of riding was the guys who were top level in that 2002 timeframe, ONLY because there was more variety in riding. Brakes, no brakes, front brakes, high seat, slammed seat, didn't matter, no one bashed you for what ... more »

I also want to point out most of the riders who go brakeless will point out why they did and it is almost always "I don't like brakes" "I don't like working on brakes" or "I wanna do barspins". There is always a stupid excuse. Seriously. Why ... more »

You are an idiot. OP: Keep the gyro. Brakes are fun! Learn some brake tricks like 900 tire taps, or fufanus. Sure, brakeless riders can do those, BUT they honestly look shitty, all wobbly and struggling to keep their balance with

Ride more.

Allen Wrenches, Socket with extension for your wheel, chain breaker, maybe a crescent wrench and spanner if you have an unsealed BB, a hammer and blunt object to remove your headset cups since you have a standard headset (based on your setup). ... more »

Funny, because I ran mine with a freecoaster that has medium slack that I forget about all the time, and never had an issue. It is actually still in good shape. Interesting how some people destroy things, and others have no issue ever...

Haha I literally just had a kid tell me that Mirraco bikes are the best completes, and that Eastern is garbage despite him having had only a cobra that he never took care of...

It MIGHT feel fine. It depends on what you like in a frame. Check the other aspects too. See what the angles for the seat tube and head tube are. Half a degree steeper head tube and shallower seat tube make the frame feel a quarter inch longer, so I ... more »
