Man those tires suck. I do want the dirt one for the front. The others are really bad, get ready for puncture galore

Did you really need to lose more weight on your bike? It was already pretty light. I don't think it's worth $40 each unless they completely stop tubes from popping.

Just an update on my Blend LTD. Since getting it on July 4th...
Cut the bars.
Changed to a RHD
Changed to DK Iron Cross grips
Changed to a Haro fork (want 990 mount)
Added Suelo front brake
Changed to a Odyssey Hazard Lite 48 front wheel
Changed to a Odyssey Hazard Lite 48 rim with a KHE Reverse hub for the rear wheel
That's about it for now...
Well I finally got everything on. Then after about 10 minutes of riding I heard a loud "ping". I later found that I tweaked two teeth on my Snafu chainwheel from not having my back wheel on lockdown. I have a Hoffman chainwheel on order but it won't be here until Monday.
Pics have to wait until then.:o

They should make puncture-proof tubeless tires. I'll make sure I invent them and make bagillions of dollars.

But if you made them, i should get them free. Seeing as how you'd sponsor the entire bikeforums OG's as your 'notsopro team'

Word. We don't even have to ride, just give them to us so we can make you a profit... somehow.

federal, if you somehow die young in a freakish accident, leave me your bike.

KHE tyres rock. No punctures, and i wont get many because i run really hard tyres. Even if i did i would spend 10mins max fixing it, its not that hard. They are light, show me the flaws.
Yes i do need to lose a little bit more weight on my bike.
That LAF looks tight.

You just wait. In a couple of months you will have non stop punctures. I ran 100 PSI in mine and still had soo many flats. Not worth the weight loss

It's the way they're turned, not bent.

L.A.F is dialed, if it had brakes.

Going to pick up some brakes today at my LBS, won't be fly though. Gonna probably be getting some white demolition's.
what was your total money in the L.A.F.?
I'm not exactly sure on the total because I had to order from a few different places. Over $1600 though. Worth every penny.

07-23-07, 02:54 PM
damn, it looks worth it. i racked up my dream bike if i could have it. total 1295.98 without shipping.

live4muzic2-
That wheel can be yours...for a mere $255. Custom built from Flatlandfuel.com
Since I got the Hazard's, I have no need for the Sun Lite's it came with. Anybody wanna trade for something? The rear is a LHD.

Never noticed it on Dan's. It wasn't in the freecoaster section so it didn't stick out.

I don't really look at the front page unless something catches my eye. So no excuse.

Midschool- Don't get Demo cranks, one of my riding buddy's just completely destroyed his.
Stick with Profile or Fly.

Why compromise the strength of your bike to save weight. Go to the gym
By the way wtp, just noticed your avatar. I have that album, In flames are great
wethepeople
07-24-07, 05:22 PM
Alot of times, if you know what you are doing and are smooth you aren't compromising any strength.
