in the countless hours i have spent on the bike pictured[previously as a fixed gear and now as an ss] i have never scratched myself, or anything else, on the dt bosses. even doing ridiculous-hipster-nuts-to-stem skids. i dont understand.
the fact that those little covers for the dt bosses exist and people actually buy them is funny to me.
