Not the first owner, i traded my strands for these a while back and they were only a month old. Maybe they can do a crash replacement? I dunno about forks. I know this has happened to these more than usual. Maybe my lbs can deal with it.

Just find some used Odyssey Dirt Forks in the Sell/Swap and never worry about your forks again.

broke another spoke.
bought a 09 macniel bibi to replace my 07 3amigos
replaced my fit fafs with micro knobbie & khe park tire
switched my railed seat for a combo seat
stripped the brakes.
dropped the pegs

back down to ~22lb from about ~25, feels fantastic

just need a halflink for my kmc 510 so i can get rid of this stretched out shadow chain

Put together my old Wave2, hadn't gone riding in a while, but after working out for 2 months now I realized I can easily throw the bike around and am almost landing 180 bars :0
Before I was able to barely hopbar right now I can do much better than that

Damn, sounds like your bike might actually look decent for once.

To be fair, picture makes it look better than it actually is. But still good. It's not that close to me, 12 mile ride from my gaff.

Rode it all day long. Found a crack in my pitchfork xlt-t dropout

that can easily be welded back up!

My 4 yer old Elementary V3 was slipping non-stop so I put on an old front load from my old Fly Barcelona complete from way back in the day, but another spacer under it and flipped it upside down. Looks pretty dumb but actually feels really nice. Bike is looking pretty ghetto but feels great, should snap some shots soon.

Went out for my third ride of the year afterwards and after just a couple 180s and manuals I snapped the chain... Sucks cause there is no good bmx shops near by, especially cause I need a half link. I seem to go through chains faster than fucking grips.
