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

[i am hollywood]

I put some new specialized roubaix tires on my fixed gear bike, having high tpi again is amazing

[Wrecked]

I went full crack-head on one of my coaster shells.
I had Couch do some work to the insides and couldn't really hack the thought of all the grind damage.

Paint removed and setup on a ghetto jig


Mid way through. This is how shit gets done when you can't afford real tools.


Ta-dah! It took a few hours with a million different pieces of sandpaper and a nice shammy but it doesn't look beat to hell any more.



Like an idiot I'm half tempted to blast it was some matte black spray paint because I can't decide whether to use black or silver spokes with it.

That looks amazing!

What bars? How does it feel now?

took pegs off again

Superstar Sweet Sweeps.  I cut abour a half an inch off the fork, so being that these bars are about .85 inches taller.  I really only raised my front end a little more than a quarter of an inch.  It feels pretty good, though.  Probably about perfect for me since I love tall bars.

cased the FUCK out of a jump....

[Boomhauer]

Became the biggest hypocrite ever, the paint on my Fly Tierra Grande bars started flaking away around the weld on the right side of the crossbar which is always a red flag to me that my bars are about to crack.. so I told this kid what was up with them and he said "I'll trade you my S&M Perfect 10's for your bars and some cash".. I rode em for about 30 minutes and finalized the deal.

They look stupid as fuck, but all my front wheel tricks became way easier and I can still hop bar em so screw it. I'm a hypocrite, suck it.

This are so fun to do. Risky though.

Put my pegs on and actually rode it for the first time in like a week or two.
