Went to the shop and we sat and looked at my bike trying to figure out what my bike needed. We didnt find anything but he did say he has a sxtn stem he would sell me so im getting that later. Also traded some parts and got hawks out of the deal. So i lightened up the bike a bit by removing the dehart tires.

Put on red flanged Cult Vans grip, new Fairdale headset and my old Odyssey CS2 forks. With the taller bars I can get away with running a slammed stem but may switch back to my XLTs if they feel too low. Thinking about ditching the tan walls for a bit as well.

Took my driver out of my a Profile hub as it had gone pretty quiet...I had 1 and 3/4 springs left in there and the rest had disintegrated. Stuck four new ones in and it's back in business.

Worryingly I was boosting about 6-7 foot out of a 9 foot quarter transferring into a vert wall last night, I could have died if they other had fucked it too!

I fixed it and it seems solid. I haven't ridden since the 24th or something. Organic chemistry and embarrassingly, trig are all the time I have when I'm not working.

Went to fit a new brake only to find the arms were too long. Cleaned, regreased and used the new hardware on the old brake. Works way better.

Been riding this 21.25 btm for the last week. Finally got over my mental block and finally went down a legit ledge. It was a good day then ordered my new wheels from empire.

Parts havent changed... and if you mean frames, i still have my ivy and i got the btm dirt cheap so why not?  Also the hubba was a big thing for me. I have not gone down anything higher than my stem so it was an accomplishment. I have been riding a lot harder lately and didnt want to keep beating up the ivy so thats why i have the btm. As for the wheels i have been waiting to complete that order since before i got my stolen bike back.
