Exactly, you don't have to buy more things just because you earn more.

This is basically me right now. I was unemployed for the past year and a half while finishing up school and I recently got a job making roughly 40-50k a year. I'm so used to having almost no money and living cheap that I've just continued to do so. I haven't bought a car or the latest and greatest phone and I still don't go out to eat. I'm just sitting back and watching the money roll in.

This band kind of reminds me of like Black Sabbath crossed with The Sword or something like that.

^Yep. Gotta jam your foot in sideways. Half the time I ride, I ride in Vans Authentics and I've never had an issue. On that note though, fuck this monster truck tire trend.

As long as the chrome isn't peeling then you shouldn't have a problem. I've been running the same chrome rim in the rear for probably close to 6 years and I've never noticed a change in braking power. With clear pads and a chrome rim you should be able to lock it up really easily. Biggest things I can think of to check is making sure the pads hit the rim at the same time, make sure both the rim and pads are clean, and either try getting a new cable or squirt some tri-flow down your existing cable to minimize friction.

In regards to the 7ka vs. haz lite, they've both been around forever. The 7ka is a couple mm's wider and made out of 7000 series aluminum while the haz lite is 6000 series I believe. They're both almost the same weight but the 7ka is going to hold up to more abuse.

I graduated nearly two months ago and I'm still waiting for the state of Michigan to sort out the paperwork for my health care license. As of right now my bank account is down to $9.88. If I didn't still live at home with very supportive parents I'd be so fucked.

Das life bro... highschool or?

College. Waiting on my respiratory therapist license to get here.

Also in it for Bernie Sanders. This is the first election where I'm backing someone I actually agree with rather than going for the lesser of two evils, if he makes it past the primaries...
