im going to confess and say i like them both, a lot. its been a while since ive seen a tri spoke on anything but a tt/tri bike of fg/ss

i also used to hate wound up forks (now i want one...)

Tomo_Ishi

What? It looks fine. It was waaay too much fun lacing the thing. I would need to change it to 3x, but I don't feel like lacing it again. I just got used to truing twisted spokers.

One more picture for you to dislike. Feel the pain yo.

disregard the fact that I just rolled it through the snow, they are cheap wheels anyways

brakeless + zero foot retention + snow = jackass thread

chain is too tight.

fuzz2050

let me be the first to say

'brakeless and no foot retention'

LupinIII

yay twisted spokes. replaced mine with a radial front, but i have the twisted on mah gf's bike

oh, and major fail on the bmx platform x brakeless collabo.

erichsia

look one post up.

Tomo_Ishi

Guys ... foot retentions stuff is a sooooooooooooo-normal comment. Besides some people can totally be safe with platform pedals.

Anyways, someone gotta say something about the tire tube plugs. Dices!? Oh please. You better go with something more rad.

flop and chops ftl

I DO feel the pain. Personally, I don't like the way twisted spokes look, they kinda look like dream catchers. I guess it's okay if you're a native american

As the comedian Demetri Martin said:

"Dream catchers work - if your dream is to be gay".

Tomo_Ishi

So true. My dream is to have a hearty lunch in Tokyo under 1,000 Yen (approx 10 bucks). ... But then I have been lucky for these last few months when I had this dream catcher on my front. ...

P.S. Seriously, truing this thing can be a pain! Don't do it without a DVD running.

First picture I've posted of my bike anywhere.. excuse the high ISO graininess.

I'm ready.. ha.

What's that thing connecting the saddle to the seatstays?

WoundedKnee

It's a Fibre Flare. Fiberoptic bike light, I meant to take a picture with it on.

Btw, I stripped the paint on the stays and the fork to silver. Didn't know If I should leave it or paint it.

rogwilco

Ah, ok. I'm not a fan of colored tires, but otherwise I like the bike.

WoundedKnee

Wow, thanks. I'm not even sure what frame it is.. it was described as "Dawes MTA Track" but I'm not even sure if that exists. It rides good anyway.

Don't forget to clearcoat it to prevent rust...

helloamerican

i think you should just run two brakes if it's up there anyway, or if you're set on one, make it the front. back doesn't really make sense as a sole option when riding fixed due to your legs controlling the back wheel.

Does anyone have stem suggestions for my bike?

ironpuppy13

yeah, wtf? lol lookin to get mad hurt or something?

I made a few changes over the months.
-new chain ring
-new pedals
-3TTT stem
-Soma Steel track drops
-regular Shimano levers ( no more ultegra brifters )



I wrapped the whole bar but it just looked bad. The arrow on the chainring is the tight spot

evotion

too big for you.
