Got some pegs yesterday... posted on 2006-09-09 15:30:38

Basically, I picked up some new pegs from Demolition yesterday - I was just going to get some chromoly ones, but then they were showing me the Dumb-Chucks and talked me into them, so I ended up buying a pair of each - in white of course - check them out...

Anyone ridden these? I'm actually kind of scared they'll be faster than I expect haha - they're pretty light though and make cool sounds when you rub the sides of them =P

Everyone loves Taj.

Sometimes Mike Tag is interesting, and of course Van Homen.

Newer pros: everyone loves Edwin. Including me, I'd have his children if I had a vagina.

yeah the taj was one of the most sought after frames. its just a legend now. im going to retire it. i think im ending up with a terrible one. frame. but the taj has had some hard days and still good as new. last frame that was built here in the usa.... :oops:

I use a barcode and it's made in LA (the state not the city). Also, S&M, and of course Quamen (=P) are made in SoCal. There's a few American made companies left. But yea that frame was "the heat", as they say.

Re: best gearing for street/park riding? posted on 2006-08-23 17:31:33

The best is a 60t sprocket with an 8t driver. Pretty much everyone is using that setup now, it's the newest trend. Good for the upsurge in vert riders.

Re: best gearing for street/park riding? posted on 2006-08-22 23:04:58

No, you usually change both gears.

For instance I use a 25t sprocket, but I also use a 9t driver. Same as 44t/16t

Re: best gearing for street/park riding? posted on 2006-08-22 22:51:57

The small one is more out of the way and lighter.

Re: >> in the market for a new street frame << posted on 2006-08-22 22:51:34

I don't really like recommending frames but...
The Taj was awesome! I used to have one but I gave it to my friend. He's still riding it too.

Picked up some new goodies from Quamen and Demolition the other day.
So here's an updated pic of my bike:

Our bassist and ex-drummer saw 311 a while ago with the Roots. Personally, I'm not a 311 kind of person, but hey whatever floats.

Re: Wheel Weight difference posted on 2006-08-19 16:49:52

I've been riding for about 11 years, I'm not a noob with weight. And, I bought demolition wheels, because they're nice guys. I figure if Mr. Castilllo rides them, they'll be fine for me. I'll weigh the two sets of wheels and post up the difference (although the rim/hub is totally different too but hey). Having a light bike is a nice luxury, so why not?

Re: gyro or straight cable? posted on 2006-08-18 00:16:04

Yea I agree- you don't really need one unless you do multiple barspins. I ride one anyway though haha.

Re: 25 9 gearing problems? posted on 2006-08-18 00:03:40

That was an awkward post, and honestly, I'm a bit creeped out. And it's hard to tell what you believe/don't believe - but hey, it's all good.

Re: 25 9 gearing problems? posted on 2006-08-14 18:13:58

I think he means your chain was just too tight - not in regards to gearing. As in possibly when you changed your gearing and put everything back together you had your chain a little too tight.

Re: Wheel Weight difference posted on 2006-08-14 16:56:11

I'm just curious about the weight difference - I'm sure either setup will be fine. Also - going with an 8t driver isn't really a deciding factor for me. Thanks for the replies though, everything is certainly appreciated.

Wheel Weight difference posted on 2006-08-11 21:21:42

I was wondering if anyone has actually weighed 12 spokes and has/knows the actual weight savings of going from 48 spoke -----> 36 spoke wheels and ousting those 24 spokes (average obviously).

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything. Thanks!

P.S. As for some background to the question - right now I ride 48 spoke primo pro wheels, and I'm switching up my gearing. I'm debating whether to buy the profile 9t titanium driver, or just get 36 hole wheels with a primo mix hub or something. I'm wondering whether the ti driver would make up the spoke weight difference. =] BASICALLY how much lighter would a 36 hole primo mix wheel with 9t chromoly(i'm guessing) driver be over a 48 spoke primo pro wheel with a titanium 9t driver?

Re: need opinions from the street ridaz! posted on 2006-08-06 14:04:51

To me, in person it just looks like a crazy street bike. When I checked it out, I didn't see a big flatland bike, just a hardcore street bike.
It's a crazy frame for certain.

These bad boys now belong to fluir!

Re: Free Fit chain tensioners posted on 2006-08-05 20:29:05

fluir was first to PM - chain tensioners go to him. Have a good day!

Re: stopping brakeless posted on 2006-08-05 19:12:35

You usually either just put your feet down on the ground, or do what Dusty Gonzagas said and put your foot inbetween the seat stays and the top of your tire. Or just run into something really big.

Re: Free Fit chain tensioners posted on 2006-08-05 17:41:03

I'd charge $5 shipped anywhere in the U.S.

Local pickup free.

They look like they'd work on any frame, the rear pieces only have a stopper on one side - so I'm guessing any frame.

With that said, whoever PMs me for paypal info first will get the chain tensioners. Your option for mail or ups.
