I got my new frame n fork so I built my bike up. The 74.5 feels a little more slack than the 75 I've been running for the past 5 years. My chain had some hideous tight spots so I dw40'd the thing and it's pretty fucking fresh now!

Anyone know if there are any halflink solutions to the collapse. The plates are pretty thick so the normal half link just gets crushed.

i use a halflink from a cheap ybn halflink chain in my collapse. i thought it would be total shit (the chain was in my box of spare shit cos it kept breaking when i ran it) and resisted using one for ages, but it lasted about a year before it broke like a week ago.
find someone with a spare one? a shadow link might do the trick as well

Installed Native BMX Bison bars. Went from FBM big Apes 28" wide and the Bison is 26.5" wide. Feels awesome!

Retired my Alex supra b and laced my Marmoset to a cancerous peeling chrome hazard because I hated having an oval shaped rim.kinda stoked.

Tried to get my spare up and running but the back tire kept coming off and bulging.

i wiped my bike clean after last night's rainy session with scramhyphy then alcohol wiped my rear rim clean. before my next ride i just gotta refresh the glazed pads and dremel the threaded posts down so my crankarms don't whack them every revolution. i'll put up a bikecheck in a few if i can shake off the couchlock and take some photos
