Our town just built a new park, might have to get back into it too.

I grew up with barely anywhere to ride, and now brand new concrete parks have been popping up EVERYWHERE around New England over the past 5 years. Managed to drag a few old friends back into riding.

The Bike Shop / Re: Profile mini chromoly female axle with pegs

I did it for a while with the Profile shouldered peg 3/8ths bolts and bent 3-4 bolts in probably about a year period while not riding my 20 a whole lot. 

I'm super sketchy though and eat shit on handrails and clip uprights...

Is Profile still using 3/8-16? The coarse thread bolts are weaker than the fine 3/8-24 Odyssey uses...way deeper roots on the threads.

Buenos dias senors y senoritas.

Been a long time, but I'm still riding bikes.  I fluctuate between my 20, 26 dirt jumper, and 26 street jumper pretty frequently. 

The street jumper is a super weird bike, but really fun.  I'll post up a bike check soon.

I's been forever since I have posted here, haven't been riding much lately but I'm getting back into it. Just thought I'd say hi and see who is still around.

Good to see that you're getting back into riding!

I've run pegs on an Odyssey Hazard v3 with a chromoly female axle for years without any issues. 15mm axle with 3/8" bolts. Guessing the Profile axle is a similar diameter, but their bolts might be a little weaker if they're still using coarse thread. But hey I'd rather damage the bolt than the axle itself. If you're smooth it should be fine, if you smash pegs off stuff as aggressively as I did when I was a teenager you're going to have problems. Just make sure you have hubguards - Profiles are the only hubs I ever see with broken flanges. I had one that was missing 2 spoke holes without ever seeing a grind.

Hey!

Was it like a back injury or knee injury that took you out?

I don't get along with all my old BMX friends anymore. I wonder why that is?

Nose piercings are very divisive?
