Trailers don't have basements.

Yep. 6mm just doesn't allow for you to get them tight enough, and 8mm doesn't leave enough material. I tried to design pedals with a similar design in high school and gave up for this reason. I think it'll just depend on whether you're willing to tighten ... more »

I bet they'll come loose more often than normal pedals. I'd like to be proven wrong because they look very nice, but I doubt I will.

Is it physically painful when an intelligent thought goes through your head? That's the only explanation I can think of.

The main concern about half link chains stretching is accelerated wear on your sprocket and driver. It does weaken the chain as well, but not significantly. People are starting to turn away from half link chains because they're heavier and more expensive ... more »

Damn that sprocket's perfect.

"Pawl driven FC" and "durability" do not belong together.

We're not getting our panties in a bunch, we're just not a fan of someone who didn't graduate high school sharing dangerous misinformation. You might be all alone, but the rest of us have loved ones that could die if they get this virus.

Aaaaand all gyms in the state are closed, FUCK.

Classes have been cancelled for the rest of the semester but the campus gyms are staying open. They're empty as fuck and I don't have class so I'm about to be at the gym every fucking day, I'm so stoked. Fuck the coronavirus lol.

This tells us absolutely nothing about how they would hold up under actual riding conditions.

ok boomer

You are my hero, I miss u.

XL rims are fucking stupid. Almost no BMX companies have any actual engineering ability so they come up with absolutely moronic, inefficient solutions. XL rims are far heavier than normal rims and almost never actually stronger. Get Ribcages.

If you're this sensitive about it, you've already lost, give up.

The world would be a better place if everyone did squats and deadlifts. I worked out really consistently last year but have fallen out of it the past month and a half. I've been super busy with school and the campus gyms have been fucking packed 24/7 ... more »

Holy shit what a disaster. OP don't ride that wheel until it's rebuilt lol.

I heard some rumors of a V2 a year or two ago but haven't heard about it since. I think they had manufacturing issues with the master and half links.

Came here to say this, I don't know what these morons are talking about. There's a good reason why capped stays are on 99.9% of frames. What S&M does or doesn't do is irrelevant, it's not like they make quality products.
