I don't even really want to attempt them because I think it's kind of stupid to have brakes for only a few tricks. I like the idea of going brakless because I've tried it before and really liked it. So much less maintenance too which helps because I'm lazy.

Yeah, I thought about that. That wouldn't be a good thing. I don't have any trails around me though. They always get torn down.

When I was almost strictly street I was brakeless, then I did some trails and tore my ACL and ATL, then it was brakes for me.

I can't wait to get back on my bike. I don't miss walking so much, but it's really been the lack of riding that's killing me. I have a long way to go though.

Those I am definitely getting one way or another. Even if I won't be riding for some time, I am still going to get them. I'll have someone else order them and then just pay for them. I need those.

Yes I know... I will shoot some pics later.
If they look like my cranks, and have this BB they're just generic 3 peice cranks. Heavy but they get the job done.

That is very heavy. What are you getting? If I get a frame, it's not going to be much more than 5 lbs because I'm pretty light on my bike.

I want a light frame. I don't need a heavy frame at all because I'm decently smooth so why carry around extra weight?

Damn... it's a nice frame but I would never buy it. If you buy it in pink I will punch you in the ovaries.

Very different unless you're morgan. I would never rock a pink frame unless I was amazing. I'd feel gay.

The FIT cranks on the complets are utter crap. They come loose, spindles bend and pedal bosses strip. How long have you been riding? Mosthave KOed a stock set in a month or less orserious riding.

Primos weren't used on Hoffmans much. Hoffman had cranksmade BY Primo for the PL completes.

I don't mind the Fit cranks at all, they only have scratches on them. They are heavy though.

The cranks that come on the flow series bikes are good. The are pritty much the same as profiles. I havent had any trouble with mine, and they are fairly light.
