The wheel looks killer when its moving and it gets compliments a lot. Its actually waxboard cutout thats zip tied to the spokes. It was on the bike when I got it so I have no clue where it came from.
It may sound odd, but you'd be surprised how comfortable a seat can be if you tip the nose up slightly. You have to lower it first, though. A seat tipped down is a sign that it might be too high.
