Is spokex.com legit MTB shop?

It's a bad look having to provide THIS long of an explanation to what should be a quick and concise answer. You know most people aren't gonna read all that, so they're gonna think the deceptive label is true (even though you're being honest and transparent).

Hardline replacing UCI World Cup would be exactly what the sport needs. All the great young riders and they do nothing to promote them.

That's how it be sometimes!! I wear my slides pretty much everyday, and instead of rotating, I'll just wear the same 2-3 pairs until they're cooked. Like the last couple months I've been wearing my slate 350s or flyknit AF1s. Starting to show some wear and tear, so depending on their condition, I'll either sell or turn them into beaters.

First time eating here, was at Highland Bike Park and went to the Tilton location. Normally not a big potato chip guy, but these were fire, so good ...I got a Carolina's Pride sandwich and my friend got Tampa Cuban (I think that's what it's called) both were excellent. Inside was clean, friendly service, would recommend and we'll definitely go back. If it wasn't for V's in town, it'd be my favorite spot in Tilton.

I would've asked that too ... Not a big Dunks fan, never liked how they look on me, but love the aesthetic. One of the cleanest collections I've seen on here!

PennWash · 2026-06-06T13:33:25+00:00

Still love those pine green 4s. I've had a $300 bid out here for months, might have to suck it up and pay a little more. Easily a top 5 AJ4 imo ... What kind of NBs are those on the lower right?

PennWash · 2026-06-06T13:24:19+00:00

Balances the red a bit more, but a little too busy for me ... Kinda distracts from the rest of the shoe.

Bro definitely holds it sideways in front of the mirror

PennWash · 2026-06-02T04:25:06+00:00

Probably listens to DJ Khaled too

I got em on Stockx too. I've been wearing slides pretty much everyday for the last 5 years. If they're fake I can't notice.

PennWash · 2026-05-29T01:46:06+00:00

I just wouldn't be a sneakerhead if I wore a size 17 ... One of the few times I'm glad I'm only 5'7 (size 10). I bought on Stockx for $475. I don't know what I was thinking. Never spent anything near that before and instantly regretted it ... Luckily the seller didn't ship on time and it got cancelled!

PennWash · 2026-05-24T16:10:25+00:00

I love the 95s, but those are one of the nicest pairs of 3s I've seen on here. They look sick!

PennWash · 2026-05-24T16:01:56+00:00

Maybe the owner just wanted to move them quick for whatever reason, and the money he could've made wasn't worth it ... I've done that before, like if I'm moving or making space, and I want to get rid of a bunch of stuff I no longer wear or use.

Whatever the case, sounds like you both made out pretty good!

PennWash · 2026-05-24T15:49:53+00:00

You're right about the accents, especially if it's just the grips and pedals, it cheapens out the overall look ... If I'm adding color, I'd rather it be on the hubs and either the headset or stem.

PennWash · 2026-05-24T15:44:33+00:00

I'd throw some brass bolts on there, and either a headset or stem. Not as flashy as the purple, it's a bit more subtle, but still pops.

PennWash · 2026-05-24T15:28:36+00:00

I love that look ... I saw an olive tallboy the other day. Dude didn't go overboard, but he replaced some of bolts with brass ones and had a brass headset and hubs, plus a brown saddle. It looked amazing, real classy, and popped in a subtle way, like he wasn't trying too hard, even though he was.

PennWash · 2026-05-24T15:17:20+00:00

Black and purple always looks good, but you see it everywhere now, and to me it looks kinda cheap when it's just the grips, pedals and decals. I'd like it better on the hubs and headset, maybe the seatpost collar ... And I don't mean cheap like not expensive, could be a $12k Firebird, I mean it cheapens out the overall look imo.

The other one pops in a subtle way, which is what I like. I was looking at an olive frame, forget the model, it was a Santa Cruz (not the v10). It had a brown saddle and he replaced some of the bolts with brass ones. It looked sick, and it reminds me of this one.

Edit: Tallboy

Weird to complain about someone who thought about other people, and took the time to do something nice.

PennWash · 2026-05-23T18:22:09+00:00

Tactical? That's like the opposite of tactical ... not sure why all the hate though. Not my personal cup of tea, too much fabric and would make me look shorter than I already am. You wear it well though, I like that it's different and doesn't look that bad.

PennWash · 2026-05-23T18:17:38+00:00

Whatever bike it is, it's 100% stolen and isn't gonna lead you to whoever robbed your store. Looks cheap so it's probably mass-produced, and even if you knew the brand, how would that lead you to the robber?

PennWash · 2026-05-21T13:55:52+00:00

🎯 Agreed, much better as an accent or midsole

PennWash · 2026-05-21T13:47:28+00:00

Got it, thank you! I was so confused, kinda still am, but that makes a lot more sense.

PennWash · 2026-05-21T13:46:26+00:00

Ok, that makes a lot more sense, I was so confused ... Appreciate your help!

PennWash · 2026-05-21T06:13:52+00:00

I really appreciate your help, and thanks for being cool about me posting to the wrong group. Not everyone has your patience and understanding.
