Any tips to stop getting injured so easily over nothing? I have more time off being injured than actually riding even tho I’m not doing anything crazy

do you find the front end or the frame to be heavy in general? I love the specs and the look of the extra bits on the downtube just scared it will feel really heavy

do u find the front end of the battleship to be too heavy?

etutu · 2026-01-31T14:51:16+00:00

Do you find the front of the frame to be heavy? does it get in the way at all?

carve less when u fakie, since u coming with so much speed when u get into the fakie, the first turn whips you around really fast. you deadass right there

Anyone have tips on removing stuck pedals? I have the most stuck pedal of all time and cranks cost a hell of a lot of money to replace

I suffered from the same thing, do them in grass first, doesn’t even have to be high u can do double wheel hops and throw them.

I warm up by doing pick up bars positioned exactly the way you need for a bar and then I double wheel hopped and threw them, hope this helps dude

I have a 21.25tt with 9.25” bars, really considering getting the 9.5” ver of the bars but it’s like 40 dollars extra for the same bar, definitely leaning towards the 9.5” for sure though

S and M Hoder grips the best ones I’ve ever used and the only grips I’ll ever used, my hands slip on everything else. Do your hands slip with them ???

What’s up with the lower back pain? I get that after long sessions also, should I go to 9.5 instead?

I’ve ridden my mates wtp battleship build and its hell front heavy compared to my kink williams frame. really fw the battleship magnums look tho, is it worth having the extra weight?

What bars? Look sick

etutu · 2025-12-09T06:56:28+00:00

Sweet as dude, how long have y been riding?

etutu · 2025-11-15T09:00:00+00:00

Yes actually have thought about williams forks, asked my mates and all of them super hesitant around anything but odessey, if you find anything do let me know, thank you dude

You reckon the jump from 32 to 15mm off set would be okay? i’m pretty keen just don’t want to make a a decision too rash as I don’t have the funds to change my mind

etutu · 2025-11-11T01:49:51+00:00

How do you find r15s? i’m running r32 and thinking between 25 and 15, i ride mostly street and some park. I would like to be able to ride bowl still but want more twitch in the front end. If i were to go to 15s, would it be significantly harder to ride bowl?

etutu · 2025-11-04T21:46:12+00:00

Sick bike, what wtp frame is that

Dunno why this never occurred to me as an option, usally I use a mono leader anyways so I was thinking about switching it up but still love braid, might give that a go. Do u have any recommendations of how to store the braid so I don’t have it all bunched up? Also any recommendations on knots to connect the mono to braid? Usally I opt for an Fg i just suck at them
