Installed one of those new Relic tires. It's hybrid of a Fly Ruben and Primo V-Monster.

I just threw one of these in the back because it was the only tanwall tire I could find to go with my S&M Mainline. I like it but the tread is too shallow, I go through tires fast. I'm hoping I can get my hands on more tanwall 2.10 Mainlines before I need tires again. I ran through my stash of 2.15 tan Rubens and they wore super quick. Wish they'd bring back the tanwall Aitkens or FAFs.

Tan wall tires are close to extinct haha. I think Maxxis makes the Grifter in tan wall but that tread is more like street tread.

It's funny because when I saw the RNC light sprocket on Empire, I thought it was NOS that they had found but then I saw more stuff popping up from them and realized they're back in BMX

Look at the new cranks on RNCMFG.com

They're insane, cnc machined Ti arms, heat treated, with Ti spindle, and all Ti bolts.. I've talked to Ryan a fair bit about new stuff and there is alot more to come..

I might finally retire my original RNC Ti fullguard.. To a second bike

Those cranks look nuts! Wonder how much flex you would feel on them?

I hope they do more Aitken stuff in the future. Like re-release his signature Trans-Am shirt he had back in like 2003.

I lied, it's actually my Odyssey straddle cable hanger and Monolever medium lever. I put the perfect curve on the lever part that I now swap out every time the perch goes to shit. Straddle hanger is from my first pair of Evo 2 brakes when they first came out about 13 years ago.

Sounds like the wheel is dished one side. I only say that because that happened to me. I had a new wheel built and even though the thing was pin straight, it still pulled to the right every time I tightened the bolts no matter how hard I tried to keep it center. Brought it back to the shop and had them fix it and it sits perfect now every time.

Is that normal stand over height? Or wax that the s3 with low seat tube?

This standover is a little taller than the s3. According to Fit, the s3.5 has an 8.25 SO

Man that price called my bluff. Would love a 21” tan though

Yea and that's without the brake mounts for an extra $15
