Ya this was incredible. Always enjoy watching CK ride, he's one of the greats!
Yeah, I think the main idea is that it is with a 24mm spindle they are able to get it more hollow, saving weight while actually increasing strength at the same time. We've sold quite a few of the Fit 24mm cranks and I don't remember any of them coming ... more »
I have experience with both the Odyssey and the Demolition and they are both quite good. The Odyssey is definitely a very light rim so if you're hard on things maybe just keep it on the front. We have a couple Kink Orions in the shop and they look super
We've sold a couple Clutches through the shop, and so far I'm quite impressed with them. I sold one specifically to one of my customers who had to come in at least twice a month to replace bearings in his KHE style coasters. He's going to be the real ... more »
You are an experienced rider. Most people will bend a 3/8" male front axle when learning to grind. It happens, but then you move on and buy a better hub or wheel!
I didn't notice too much difference going from 75 to 75.5 and back. Whenever I ride a buddies bike with a steep fork though I notice right away.
Post some pictures!!!!
Is this actually a real bike, or are you trolling? If it is real, pics please.
No reason why you can't check out both? If you have a good local shop, they should let you ride a few bikes to see how they feel. You can also hop on that bike at Sport Chek and see if you notice a difference. With that in mind, I bet the bike out of ... more »
I checked Colony's Canadian distributor for you and the Roaster Bars are well-stocked. Your local shop could definitely order them for you or we could. They actually hooked us up with a set for our last jam that we organized here. They are a gloss black, ... more »
Better high pressure tires will make it go faster. 1.95 or 2.10 wide. Also you can step up the gearing to 28 T or 30 T at the most. Besides that there's not much you can do.
You're drunk Brayden. Go home.
Yeah. We spend about an hour per wheel. This includes pre-stressing your wheel and re-truing 3 times to make it as strong as humanly possible as well as Spoke Freeze thread locker to help hold your spokes tight.
I don't think it's fair to compare Mike Hucker to the average rider haha.
$50 is fair. We charge $60-$90 (Canadian dollars) depending on how complicated of a build. Extra if we have to build custom wheels. When building a bike there's a big difference between putting it together, and building it to be as strong as possible. ... more »
I've sold them to a couple taller customers that were 6' 4" +. They both liked them a lot. Feedback I got was that you definitely want to have a good stem to clamp them down tight. With such big bars, you get a ton of leverage, especially if you're a ... more »
Use a light oil, not grease. Grease can gum up and cause your pawls to stick.
You will ride it for 20 minutes and then not really notice the change after that. If you ride 4 pegs and a short backend, 165s just give you a bit more room. It's not going to make a major difference to your riding, but it's nice for clearance and still ... more »
We still have some Eastern small parts too if you're desperate. I have that driver in unsealed as well as pawls and springs and some other stuff. Would be a bit more to ship from Canada, but with the strong US $ it might not be so bad.
Just wait and try and find a relatively new bike that is as stock as possible. If you don't know exactly what to look for, your best bet is to find a complete from someone who just bought it, and never really got in to riding and is deciding to sell ... more »
