The Bike Shop / Re: Mid school "collecting"

« on: October 08, 2014, 12:44:42 PM »

Milhous, I'm going to send you a PM on the Museum about some shit I am working on for a BMX swap meet/show sort of deal.  I am curious your input on a lot of this stuff as I know you are a like minded individual. 

Sounds good! Hit me up.

My original Trail Boss (my first Standard ever) that I purchased new from Trend in 1997 recently showed up at my LBS. It has been through a few owners since I sold it around 2000ish. It is super beat up, but I want to try and get it back to hang on the wall as a sentimental piece.

The Bike Shop / Re: Full-face helmets

« on: October 07, 2014, 10:33:45 AM »

I only use a full face when racing. Currently using a Giro Remedy helmet that I picked up cheap. It is decently light and not too bulky. I prefer lighter helmets with a shell size that does not make my head look a mushroom.
I will probably switch to a Troy Lee or Fly carbon next year (only if I can pick one up reasonably priced this winter).

Best bet is to go to a shop that carries helmets and try some on. This will make sure you are comfortable and it fits properly.

5.9ZJ is a great seller. I purchased a FSA Ti spindle from him, and it was shipped out quick with some awesome extras thrown in. Excellent packing job and tracking info was provided as well!

Purchased it about an hour ago and played it until my phone died. It is fun!

Wrecked is also a great guy to deal with. He purchased some SBC forks from me and paid right away. Great communication all the way as well.

Billy is a good dude to deal with. He sold me some Suelo brakes for a great price and shipped them out with the quickness!

Just ordered a bracelet.

I miss that old free stuff thread, there was some funny stuff to be had on there.

That Dirt Monster isn't really an Integrated headtube. It used some large regular sealed bearings pressed into the headtube, basically a bottom bracket for a headtube.

Last I heard was end of this month (July). Heard that a few weeks ago, but haven't followed up on it, so that may have changed since the month is almost over.

Not a fan of the current 2.35 Flys. Bring back the folding 2.25 option.

Raced it. First time back since I quit in '98. Won all my motos and the main, stoked (even though there were only 3 people in my group lol).
Definitely looking forward to fully getting back into racing this summer.
