What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
skateparkrider:
Not for my bike....but I usually build up new wheels for everybody in the office. Here is my first ever ti spoke build. Odyssey Vandero 2 laced to Aerospace rim with G-Sport nipples. I used 182mm spokes. I also went with the G-Sport nips because I heard you have to really tension ti spokes. Laced up like a champ. This is probably the 4th or 5th Aerospace rim I have laced up. Really really digging this rim. Seems like once you get the spokes up to tension, the rim just goes straight.
Overall weight on the wheel is 0.123214 Stone (1lbs 11.6 oz) with out the rim strip. Pretty damn lite weight. Lacing up the rear tonight.

I feel like I am in a weird place because it seems like more people ride brakes here than do not. But I have started noticing people all over saying brakes are making a come back in their respective neck of the woods.
Back rail fuf to make a come back in 2013?
Sebastian:
Had my first post-hiatus park session this morning. It was awesome until my front wheel washed out while pumping over a hip and threw me. Caught the bars in my side, not pleasant. Regardless, fuck yeah BMX.

Damn that wheel looks sexy. @r+$y picture to top it off.
I'd much prefer a birdcage myself, but still... damn.
