I think Scotland will leave the UK and stick with the EU. North Ireland is fucked either way but I reckon they'll end up declaring independence or actually joining up with the rest of Ireland for all that sweet sweet EU peace money. Wales doesn't matter.

Apparently I can get Hungarian citizenship so that's cool.

Edit: just seen I've got 420 posts, rad.

I'm ohshitabear

I quit drinking for like a month. It sucked. Had to find other stuff to do instead. Exercise is best because I'm  tired afterwards.

Built one yesterday for a customer. They're really fun. I reckon e-bike races would be gnar.

Picked up a second hand spyre for the front. I've worked on them before so I already knew how easy they are to set up. First impressions with apex levers and avid G3 rotors are that they're nice! A little spungey but that's probably the inline adjuster I had to add.

I broke a chain crossing at some traffic lights years ago. Over the bars and awkwardly went back to pick up my chain while trying to pretend it didn't hurt. This was at the time I was running a ghetto half-link made out of a normal link that was bent. It wasn't even the half link that broke

This is all good to hear. I'm running Odyssey housing with shimano inners with bb5's and apex levers. The housing made a massive difference. Recently switched to superstar organic pads and they're not really an improvement from stock. They howl like a banshee in the wet as well. The best I can get the levers is so at the shift paddle, the lever moves about  1cm before pads touch the disc.

Are your spyres better than this?

Brooklynrider, how are you getting on with Spyres and Sram levers? All I can find on the internet is speculation and people who think the stock pads are shitty. Is the lever pull decent? I don't like the lever coming all the way to the bars. Also how's the C17?

24, living in a flat with my two cats. Looking at getting a house/mortgage with a friend. Haven't ridden BMX in years, starting to get career shit together and it looks as though I'm going to finally finish learning to drive.
