They feel really cheap to me. I've only run one for a bit because I sold the bike but i wasnt a fan. Plus the color factor makes it feel gimmicky.

of course I just bought a z chain the other day so i cant say much about quality.

i feel the same way. if you buy a true track machine (read: not a lugged steel frame), ride the damn thing like you stole it and save the bunny hops/wheelies for something a little more rugged (steel perhaps?).

I've seen people be criticized for their bikes and now I'm in that club.
I had a friend at a bike shop measure me before ordering the parts and frame, I have a long torso I guess. I wouldn't ride it everyday if I didn't feel comfortable.

then maybe your friend should have ordered you a setback seatpost so that you dont rip the rails off that thing. You really should readjust it until you can get a setback post.

I know :(

it was like 7 bucks. That's what I dont like about the colored kmc chains. They are 7 dollar chains that are doubled in price because they're pretty.

The "NOPE" spoke card is just dumb because it's small enough that unless the owner points it out everyone walking by is just going to assume it's one of the normal Obama logo items.

I'd make it red green and yellow and have it say dope.

you mean like he did here by repositioning his wheel from the first photo just to show off the card?

CourtAzukiRacer 09-09-08 12:20 AM

Their is no need to point out the card, it is clearly visible.
I repositioned it for the shot!
