found out the hard way that I couldn't slam my cruiser with the current tire set up. Annoying. Must get a new tire and slam that thing so I can manual right!

I cut off 1/4 inch off of each of my grips to put my hands farther apart after riding a bike with a little wider bars and liking it.

Sold my old rear Duo Stunner tire to a kid that needed a tire really badly, he didn't even seem to mind that it only had like 1/4 life left in it. Then went home and installed the 1.90 Ruben I had as back up, since I knew the Duo had a limited life span the last time that I place an order from Albes.

got my ride my bike for the first time since i pu ton my new back wheel and stem, and it's running better than ever. Rode it around the streets for a good 7 hours. I also put my MDS to the test by bashing it into a barrier a bunch of time to get a clip and photo. It held strong.

Did you decide whether to DT or not to DT?

Went with the USA brand. Maybe if i ever re build my front I'll go DT, cause it seems to take more abuse.

Put a new tube and tire on my single speed, and ordered some spokes and a tire for my BMX.

I got the old adjustable wrench out and used to to break some bent in piece off of my peg so I could get a socket in again. I was doing some icepick/wallride hybrid thing for a while, and it took it's toll on my already deformed pegs.

bought spokes to put in my front wheel, but now I can't get my guards off without some major hammer bashing and a vice or something...

I rode it for like 5 hours straight and nothing broke or slipped. It was pretty great.

Rode it more, which is so great after not being able to for a while again. Figured out that my beloved Federal 4pc bars might have to hit the trash can due to over tightening my stem at some point. Sucks, but I'm just happy to be riding my bike enough to find out!

Installed new Deluxe grips, then put grip gloves on, cause it's that time of the year already in Florida. Also, I broke a spoke in my front wheel, which is pretty average.
