Hey Scrod,

I've been eyeing the zoncolan urban for awhile now, how does the cover material compare to that of the chamois leather concor?
Exact same material?

Same material.

So you know, we've got one left and there will be no more.

yeah when the issue popped up I read somewhere that the same problem was prevalent in Aventon, Leader, and Unknown which are all made in the same factory. (not sure if thats true strictly anecdotal evidence)

I know some of the tubing comes from the same place(s) but I'm honestly not sure if the actual production takes place in the same factory.

I want some decent but inexpensive 36h SS hubs, what do you recommend?
Have you ever used BMX hubs on a larger bike/wheel?

I've never used BMX hubs on non-BMX wheels but I don't see why you couldn't so long as they didn't have 14mm axles. I can get 36h Formula hubs pretty cheap so that might be an option too.

Two words: axle spacers.

How long does your Dr. Bronners soap last? I got a 32 oz bottle in early July, and I still have 1/3 of a bottle left, and I use it for both soap and shampoo. I've never had soap last this long before. I love this stuff.

Ha! I usually buy it buy the gallon and it lasts forever, even when I had long dreads and was using way more than I do now. I'm still on the same gallon jug I brought here from MA over a year ago.

Really? I use way less soap with a loofah, especially with Dr. Bronner's because it's so concentrated.

At any rate, this is a very masculine conversation.

I still have a large bottle of the Peppermint stuff. I've had it for about over a year now and still have a quarter left.

I also use a loofah.
