Since everyone is bashing vans. The new Vans Mtu Hightop iis awesome! And the sole lasts longer than the waffle except it has slightly less grip on pedals but more off the pedals. Check them out. Been loving mine. I ride 2 days a week and Vans last me ... more »

I was never sure until this past week. I took some mtb buddies street riding. They used some 26” dj bikes I used my typical bmx. Was what I considered a light session. One of them ran an app called Strava. It recorded we did 12 miles. So I’d say on average ... more »

The structured thing about my bike riding is the smiles it puts on my face.

Well really the datum reference frame Coupled with the position tolerance concerning concentricity and flatness makes for proper chain tension only if the other manufactured parts along the stacking line also adhere to a proper reference frame.

Yeh man. Lemme know maybe I’ll meet you there!

Street AF 💪

Honestly guys ordering from japan to America dunno big deal whatsoever! I ordered all my fishing rods and reels from Japan when I was a competitive bass angler. The price of the yen to the dollar was so lopsided that I could pay shipping and get better ... more »

Dau; Homey the federal church hill frame is a super super good do it all geometry. It is essentially the same as the S&M WAMO frame and I’ve written it a bunch and compared it to more street oriented designs and more trail oriented designs and overall ... more »

Hehe yeh bud, that was the first thing I did. I aired them. Both to 100 psi and let them sit all night. At 100 they were still narrower than my others at 45Psi which is my typical pressure.

I’m a bit novice rider so to me the difference was more visible thing than a notable performance difference. I have more frame clearance at the chainstays and I was able to remove the tire without deflating it (To get past brake pads) which i couldnt ... more »

I’ve got a cheap shadow Guarded sprocket that creates a hella tight and loose spot in my chain. If I switch to another sprocket the chain is much evenly tensioned throughout the crank revolution. Makes me think the shadow sprocket bore is off center ... more »

Rode at Rays for the first time this past weekend. Figured I'd put it here for all to make fun of! It's me wearing the camera following my mtb buddies around a bit. This place was super bumpy! The amount of vibration put into my hands was pretty serious. ... more »

I looooove my Donnasqueaks too. The last set I bought however was significantly narrower than the previous two pairs I had, which is ok, but weird. Definently narrower than 2.25 at 60psi. I micrometer'ed them and they are like 2.13. My previous squeeks ... more »
