    Rim jobs suck...

    The tires do anyway.  (I don't mean to offend the kinky...)

    They're not the all around tire that they (Snafu) would leave you to believe.  I left them on for testing purposes after buying my bike, and fully regret it.  They have no grip in park.  They're decent for street, but the rubber is so hard that when you need to stop now...  You lose have of your tire just thinking about pulling the lever.

    I don't know who I would recommend this tire to, but I've tried it on street, trails and park and it flopped in all but the "perfect" conditions.

    Go for a softer compound like those in any other brand than pick these up.  I have the rashes to support my regrets. 

    Wooooord...

    Post this...

    I customize bikes.  I enjoy it.  It helps me put to use that design degree that I somehow acquired 4 years back.

    One thing I've always put on my bikes is the laid-back post.  Something about them brings back memories of nostalgia and a comfortable ride for a long-legged fucker like me.

    I was happy when Primo put them out, but now there gone.  Am I doomed to over priced eBay racer aluminum shit?  I hope not.  I'll tell you one thing, the next time I flip a bike, I'm keeping the seat post.

    Bitches....

    DHL @ Home

    A big fucking thumbs down to this service.  A big fucking thumbs down to Dan's Comp who is apparently using this service.

    I have to wait an extra day to get my parts because this service allows DHL to deliver the package to the USPS and have them do the work of knocking and setting the package at my doorstep.

    I'd like to know what this accomplishes.  I guess it's my bad for disassembling my front end in anticipation of my packages arrival today.  Well fuck me.  A perfect day for riding wasted.

    Maybe I'll be ready to reassemble tomorrow.  Now with the package in the USPS hands, I have no way of tracking it.

    Wooooord...
