I might have messed up the name, they're e-comets, if that makes any difference. I bought them from Ebay here. The quality of the rubber was actually great and didn't seem to have suffered much from years of storage. There was a noticeable change in the rolling resistance between 2.4 WTP Feelin's and these E-comets. A lot less drag on grinds as well, but I do sloppy grinds so that might only be me.

Bike Gallery / Back to Basics: WTP Trust

This is my mini-skateplaza setup that I've been riding for the past month or two. Got back into riding about 2 years ago on a signature Fit Benny complete, used some parts from that to make this WTP feel standard.

21" WTP Trust Bike
Fit Benny Bars
28t La Guardia
2.25 Primo Comets + 1.75" race tubes
Odyssey PC Pro
United Beacon
Jimmy Dean Half-link

Really loving the tires, great for smooth concrete at the local park.

There are lots of new things fucking up the rear end that keep us from reaching that point where we have perfect chainlines on every bike. Fat tires, brakeless(?), shorter chainstays, hubguards are all pretty standard now and it seems that these things haven't been perfectly incorporated into every setup yet without little things going unnoticed.

You shouldn't be breaking them at all

150 bucks to save 2oz of non-rotating weight in the centre of mass of your bike... Save your money

Edit: Not to mention you won't have a concentric sprocket anymore, one of the underrated things Wom/Twom/Thunderbolts do

What does the concentric sprocket thing mean, if you don't mind explaining?

I guess that you’re not required to go to the requisite spots but going to the US consumerism cells seems weird. Brooklyn Botanical Gardens? BBG.org

Going to get a glimpse of what the everyday american life is like as if i'll get some insights never acquired by run of the mill journalists and thinkers. Trust me it's gonna be the new hipster thing

Botanical garden may be doable, ill take some selfies with the orchids just for you, if i made it there

MOMA was great. Funny enough, i enjoyed the classical work way more than the modern work, 90%of those werent that great

Chelasea market was good, but then again i fall in love with any shithole that sells fresh seafood and good wine

modern art is typically better at being polarizing than awe-inspiring. i felt the same way at phl museum of art
