I know I'm bumping this but goddamn that bike is a beast!

of what? am confuse

what're you talking, roughly?

oahz24 - holy god is that thing clean!!

that's my general feeling, but lately with my running 2 bikes at once (trying to dial-in perfect setup), I am constantly confusing them because they are both matte black and look identical! So really gotta do *something* to make one visually different ... more »

gg check it out now, thnx man (you're always such a help!!)

Dude those spacers there (or some home depot 'equivalent') are exactly what I'm thinking! And the problem is resolved now, hasn't moved since I overhauled the nuts/axle and sanded the dropouts, but I'm still angling to make it more secure than simply ... more »

Am confused by that, it looks like your dropouts are wayy bigger than the axle - that must be the 'female' setup? I'll need to look at mine, I think it's just straight 14mm axle, although I've two bikes maybe one has something different.. worst case ... more »

lol I'm within a year of you, I know the feeling alllll too well!!

Building is very simple, don't be put-off by the elaborate junk you see people building, a simple build is just fine (I run the most basic single or dual coils, depending what power level I'm gonna put to it, and trust me they work just the same as the ... more »

Loved my istick50 (til i dropped/broke it!) Ran an orchid v.4 on it, was a great combo, if a bit heavy and bulky in the pocket. Best pocket setup i ever ran was the istick *30*W, with a derringer dripper, that was a dream! Am currently running 50w 'adt' ... more »

'plated'? With what?

Dave Lawrence, can you explain more have you tried this? Kokxxy is right, that is the product I have on-hand to do this with, in fact I used it one before I ever heard of this, I put it on a fixie's (raw steel) sprocket and sprayed black; the lines were ... more »

jp_sucks that's dope!

first thought is to just spray paint that tubing, as the exposed part of it could use a touch-up anyways, and those always come out looking flawless. But paint is real inferior for gripping, it can mess up bar::stem interfacing badly, although the forces ... more »
