I cut both mine off so I could cut my bars more and so the flanges don't hit me by my thumb.

I'm on Season 2 episode 5. I've seen quite a few of the newer ones but i'm starting from scratch cause i have no life. And if this rain keeps up i'll have the whole series so far done by the end of this week. Rain = no fun.

Yeah, it's got to be the best one in production now. The first few were kind of unrefined and hard to watch, but once you get used to the producers' style, it gets addictive, and the plot gets a lot deeper into the show.

Back to topic, I cut the outside edge off my longnecks but I kept the flanges, why not have them, they don't bother me. What is with that brake lever? And Fit, he should keep pegs off, I'm running no pegs at the mo and I love it personally. Plus he does trails

Pegs are so much fun though. And I know he does trails, but he could do some street too. I <3 pegs.

Plenty of riders that ride trails have pegs. I ride more then just trails. I just prefer dirt jumps.
And i cut my longnecks ends off. They look cleaner that way.
I'm very tempted to get some plegs when they come out and start up again with them. I'm just so sketchy with pegs i don't like it.

And i put some more thought into pegs and trails and i was thinking that it would be hella sweet if someone hangfived a roller in the middle of a line!!!

Pegs do make my wheel move, but that's because my pegs completely suck and barely slide on anything. My chainstays are messed up, but that's only because of my lack cromo chainstays.

Making one of those is as easy at it looks, right?
I've got limited time to ride around outside, but lots of time to trackstand, etc. during [adult swim]. I've seen a few of those around, and really like the idea, I think I'm going to come back from spring break with one.

Damn you people are your extra bike parts. The only extra parts i have laying around are seats, a few crappy levers and some Haro tires and my old frame.

Why is this font so big when i use that quick reply thing?!
