I did not get any new parts, but I tightened all my spokes because they were making noise and trued my wheels. I also took off my brakes. Now the only noise is a little chain noise, but I like a looser chain

Don't get either. They seem funny and all, but you cannot hit bigger jumps on them and they Hart boring fast. Not to mention how uncomfortable it is to bend over for extended amounts of time. They are just not worth the money

Yeah, I have black break pads and all of the paint on the sides of my rear rim is gone. You can see in my bike check.

Cool

Yeah, yours is sweet, but I like it to be heavier

Yeah, I like mine because it's got more weight to it than pvc

Thanks

You can get some free smaller stickers from odyssey

Thanks for all the help. I will keep these in mind and keep practicing

I like stickers on the fork, bars, and frame. The vinyl stickers with just letters. Nothing boxed off.

How do you recommend grinding them down? Would an angle grinder work?
