What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

Parallel for wall rides is no good unless jibbing hard core

[DontcallmeKenneth]

Maybe I used the wrong word but riding almost straight towards the wall just to grip isn't fun anymore. Carving into the wall is easier for me when since I haven't used a slick tire since I left ohio. Maybe I'm just sucking also. I'll go out tonight to see if I'm just mind fucking myself.

I've seen you go through ~15 different sets(maybe?) Of tires in the time I've gone through 2 haha

Yeah, just 3. Momentums to wlt's to machetes. The momentums wouldn't fit the solid that I had so I decided to try wlt's. Due to cleveland weather I only got to ride them in snow or melting snow so I sold them after a month of just looking at the bike. I ended up with machetes because I wanted them again since I wanted a light knobby tire. Can't get much lighter than demolition tires but FAfs are my favorite. I may sell the t/a's and get bsd tires since they have them in 2.25 and are kind of like a larger print FAF.

Got colony fantastic plastic pedals,broke my pedal spanner  installing them:(

The t/a tires are awesome but i think I want a tire with some tread on it. I noticed I can't grip that great unless I'm full on straight ahead charging a wall for wall rides. With my other tires(machetes) it was a lot easier to kind of ride parallel to the wall and just hop and stick. I just slide off the wall with the T/A tires.
Plus a new shipment of items just popped up in the shop so I'm going to try and pick up some metal pegs.

Could be that you were just wearing off the outer layer and breaking the tire in that it didn't grip so well

Just started on a polishing job for my newly acquired Tomahawk stem.



Concluded that i still have to take reeeeal fine (laquer) sanding paper to prepare the alu to be able to get a shiny finish on there.
The above is what i achieved with about 5 minutes on a polishing wheel. Hence the change of strategy.

Real stoked on this little project though. Stem didn't fit the look of my R25's in chrome and the 9.25 chrome bars i'll be running, so i decided to take matters into my own hands. Definitely more work than i anticipated.
Guess normal stems are easier to polish because a lot of them are cnc'ed.

D'oh.

Finally snapped my cracked and rusted tree branch bars, lucky me didn't crash, replaced them with rusted but damn cheap bsd variety bars.

[medusa.cascade]

Nice one.

I switched my lever from left to right as I'm more inclined to take my left hand of the bars than the right for some reason.
