Quamen 27t sprocket. Green chain and pedals because my daughter went up and said green! (She’s 2, learning colors/numbers). Might get some non pinch bolt cranks but idk. My local shop has some odyssey cranks with bottom bracket combo for 150 so it’s tempting.

The Bike Shop / Re: What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

Have a few things.

1. A bike shop downtown had a quamen sprocket and sold it to me for $20.
2. My good friend gave me his barely ridden stranger plastic pegs.
3. My local bike shop had a set of tioga fs100 tires in 2.1, the same friend that gave me the pegs bought me the tires.
4. I'm planning to get some odyssey caliber cranks in 165 or 170 from my local bike shop now that I got my tax return. Will post pics soon.

just move there and dont support hipster buisness? shop at the walmart?

everywhere will be expensive as fuck in LA, you might as well be next to the beach and nightlife

The problem is I’m poor.

texas is cheaper than california, although our coast isn't as nice.

I think he just interviews soundcloud rappers, I don't think he does anything bmx anymore. His gf does porn, which is cool I guess. But yeah he just seems really scummy.

The Bike Shop / tire pressure question

« on: September 25, 2018, 04:19:57 PM »

I want to experiment with some fit TA tires i got (got a fit complete dirt cheap) but the pressure rating is 65 psi. How high can I go without blowing up the tire? Think 90-100 psi will be ok or nah?

Scored this Fit Benny 1 for $50 today from my local Facebook market group. Going to put new grips and brakes on it then try to sell it. Or maybe keep it, idk

So I need some furniture for my new apartment since I don't really own any. It's a small studio so a lofted bed frame is almost necessary. Looking at existing furniture, nothing really seemed like it was what I wanted or wouldn't work so I took some measurements and modeled one up in Blender to get a rough idea of how it might look and get a better understanding of what materials I'll need. I'll also build a tall bar table for eating/games whatever off of it to help hide the radiator and keep things nice and tight. Here's the mock up, now it's time to build it!

Well, I finally got this built and the place is starting to feel more like a home than an empty cell. Still need to get the materials for the bar top but I'm broke and extra spending money comes along infrequently. Turning out better than I had hoped though!

looks cool man, dig how you utilize such a small place so efficiently. I'd go crazy in such a tiny home lol.

i've only ridden a small handful of times this year. new house, new baby, and a hyper toddler prevent me from having much time to myself. there's a new bike only park being built so maybe once it's ready i'll try to ride at least once a week
