Subrosa balum v2 21"
Subrosa villicus II fork
Subrosa noster 4pc
Shadow Chula
Shadow crow mid
Shadow strada nuovas
Shadow little ones( Lino Gs soon)
Animal akimbos
Odyssey twisted PC (metal hammys or bpe soon)
Eclat 26t cylar
Kmc fat chain

My wheels are in the process of getting made and or buying. I just got an aerospace I'm going to lace the mix to. And the guy I got most of my setup from is selling me his wheel cheap. Going from a 26mm offset fork to a 30mm is also weird because I feel like my nose manuals improved. Tooth hangers felt a little more relaxed. With the short pegs my hard 180s out have suffered since I can't twist my body too much because the peg slips off. I need to be back on my 4.5 " life.

Looks good. I have the chance to swap my Lacey for one of those in Raw. I am thinking I might do it if it isn't too beat up.

Well I would be painting it Lime green, but I would hand paint on the headtube design black so it POPS.

So you think the 30mm offset forks helped you with front end stuff?

My headtube is 74.5 degrees and 32mm offset forks and the balance point is just so tiny that it's frustrating. Sucks because I love front end trick. Do you think just going to a shorter offset would be enough or should I get a steeper frame?

Its all whatever is comforting. I had more hang time with the 30s for some reason. I think because I know the 26s are shorter in offset I don't try to go to hard on the nose because I might go otb. The 30s felt more like I had room to push forward with my nose to hold it longer if that makes sense. I still can't hang on anything more than 6" off the ground. I want to be able to hop into nose stuff at least a foot and I can only attempt that while trying to g turn. I may throw the 30s back on if this next sesh on the 26s ends up the same as always.

I have a 75.5 HT angle and a 13MM offset fork and I have no clue how to forward hang 5, but I can do it backwards down gentle slope decently.

I can't hang 5 lol. I can do nose manuals but they're consistent. Although I got some 165mm indents today and have noticed a big difference. 10mm makes things a whole lot easier. I will throw on the 30s again to see if I keep up the good work. I have been trying to film for my 3rd installment of insta clips but I need to get my bike right. Next week the shop is getting their animal shipment in so lino Gs will be on then I can get back to realm grinding.

Its pretty tight. I just got all the looseness out of it so it sounds solid and no creeking I need to get a new cap for my forks if I sell my shadow forks since the subrosa one is stripped.

So I finally got my wheels sorted. Noting brand new. Laced the aerospace to my mix and a local hooked me up with a javelin to 7ka which he made sound worse than it was. Then the shop guy that rises for freed was trying to get me on one of their frames. I kind of miss the short chain stays but I'm not mad.
