Honestly? I think if you can dance, you should dance like a mother****er. Be that guy and bust a move! "Cool points" aside, tactfully bold guys get the ladies attention more than timid guys standing in a corner playing with themselves.

Rock out man. SQRLs don't dig wallflowers.

You really don't know what you're supposed to do at a dance?

I mean... it's called a dance...

definitely notscrod, but I got the impression it was on purpose. like maybe they want to have a distinctive rumble like a harley or something.

I was wondering if it was a quality thing or something myself because White Industries freewheels are loud as hell too

So what do I do if my parents will be there? (chaperoning)

Dance with your mom. Have fun man. Find some dame you dig, dance with her, if your parents are rad introduce them. A lot of chicks appreciate guys that are close with their family. Be who you are, grasshopper. Don't fake it.

homebrewk 01-14-12 05:44 PM

hmm. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll report back later.

Do you have any experience with the Velocity Fusion rim? I'm a chubster (210) and not sure if the A23 would be safe.

Scrodzilla 01-14-12 07:45 PM

I'm a big dude too (although I'm currently down to about 190) and I run A23s with no trouble at all. As far as Fusions go - if they're properly built, you shouldn't worry about it. They're on the light side for a deeper rim but pretty damn stiff/sturdy. Go with 32h and use double butted spokes.

gayngs 01-14-12 08:37 PM

Cool. Thinking about building my own wheels this time around, just waiting to order my hubs next week and I'll be grabbing a set of Fusions off your site. Paying a shop $110+ just to build me some wheels is ridiculous.

It's not worth it unless the builder has a good reputation. A while back I had a wheel built at a shop and it never stayed true for very long. Eventually I found out who are the best guys in the city. But building my own is fun and I would rather do it myself if nothing is stopping me

striknein 01-14-12 09:30 PM

I love wheelbuilding. I get such a feeling of accomplishment when it's finished.

homebrewk 01-14-12 09:53 PM

So... the party sucked.

LesterOfPuppets 01-14-12 09:54 PM

Wow, all wrapped up by what is it? 10pm there?

homebrewk 01-14-12 09:54 PM

Should I start a Fight Club?

just dank 01-14-12 09:58 PM

yes

Yeah. I left at 9:15. (it started at 7:30)

yummygooey 01-14-12 10:16 PM

Scrod, while riding with my dad today his bike was being loud. Everything is Phil Wood. How do I break it to him that Phil is only good for hubs? And is it normal for their bb to edge it's way out of the frame? Cause that happens too.

Seriously, it's pretty much a constant mumbling/rumbling sound. After 40 miles of clicking I wanted to die.
