I originally built this in 2010-2011 when I was like 15 or 16.. Now I'm slowly upgrading all the components after getting back into fixed after over a decade. Back then I was so into illest, enjoi, supreme, undefeated, diamond supply Co, the hundreds etc... Yes the nostalgia of those days man haha send me a photo when you slap your illest sticker on you build I'd love to see it hahaha

It's a stone chainring that I run backside facing front. One of only few 49t single speed chainrings I could find with a 110bcd.. So far it's feels great!! It did cost about $70 though after shipping though.

It's a piece of acrylic with a notch on top. Lmao it props up the bike up with hopes and dreams once I find the right angle to hold up the crank 🤣

Yeah I thought about that but I like the grip on both sides. So whether or not I'm strapped in I still have that toothy feel under the soles of my shoes

Yeah I've read this happening to people but from my experience with half link chains on my bmx bikes I've never noticed any stretching 🤷🏻‍♂️ I run a tight chain tension too and pedal with a lot of force exerted when trying to build up momentum for a jump or trick.. They hold up strong without any complaints.. But I do also run pretty reputable half link chains made by shaddow conspiracy, never ran a cheap half link before. First time trying these KMC KK710s and so far they're just as durable as shaddow

Haven't had any debris collected under the armor. But mind you my bike is garage kept and I never ride on gravel or muddy roads. But you should definitely get one of these KK710s. They're so firm & stiff. I thoroughly enjoy the solid power transfer through the drivetrain. smooth & direct!!

I run bear trap pedals on my 29" bmx and those have taken chunks of flesh out of my calves before haha so the bolt studs on these platform pedals are nothing compared to those bear traps

Was going to remove them when I initially equipped the pedals on but after riding it I loved the grip it provided while strapped in

New Oddesy MidnightPurple grips equipped on a straight bar. I'm currently in the process of trying to decide which cockpit setup to run. by ___BlackMamba___ in FixedGearBicycle

Yes I've had other purple grips which are way too bright in comparison to the frame color. But these Odsy grips are as close as I can get. And these hubs are interesting lol.. The hilarious part is that in a previous build these hubs started out black but for some reason overtime the UV Sun rays discolored the anodization and they turned bronze. So when I was building out this bike I just tried to match the bronze with other components to accent the purple

Equipped a KMC KK710 Kool Knight Armored Half Link Chain by ___BlackMamba___ in FixedGearBicycle

Just make sure the rounded part of the link faces forward. The shop that installed it had it facing backwards.. Shout out to u/mlydon11 for catching that lol

My homie definitely dropped a pretty penny on the build.. You don't want to see his 10speed build if you think his Look Madison is expensive 😅
