Thanks I’m really happy with how the stem turned out. The hubs are no-name garbage laced to some Diamond Back labeled rims. The eBay description described them as anodized wheels with tires and tubes. They’re painted and crap! The tires were nice though!
Yeah I’m actually amazed, it turned out exactly how I remember seeing some of the Suntour stems when I was a kid. I’ve always wondered if they were available this way or if guys just took one anodized and one non-anodized stem and combined them. I might just do that with some nice double-wall hoops if I can find em cheap. I’d like to leave the side wall unpainted though. Not sure if I have the chops for that kind of tape job though!
Me either! I like to go fast and skid out 20 footers and that happened with a modest demonstration skid for my boy! It’s just garbage. I was actually able to ride around and still stop when I needed but that wheel is now bent and definitely needing to be totally torn down, rebuilt, and relegated to the wife’s bike
Way to push through that!
To that end I believe another name change is in order, I’ve clearly been using more money than sense so... Senseless!
Nope. I'm adding that to my lexicon. Last Saturday morning, I took Duck Norris garbage sailing.Garage sale hunting*
Great idea. I'll do that!
You wouldn’t believe how much crud fell into the BB and steerer tube in just 3 rides.
Yeah, I saw the one made out of copper on the sissy bar and had completely forgotten about it! Thanks for reminding me! That’s actually a pretty cool idea.
Well that’s just a senseless use of $35!
