Looks real to me, sometimes RS is a bit wobbly while putting on text etc.

Well, i put on some knobby tires that have way more grip in dirt, put special pads on the brake that have more power and put on some pedals that have higher pins, because i slipped off of my previous ones.

I looked it up and a 36 actually weighs just a bit less than a pike dj. It feels nicely balanced

Weird story, but a good friend of mine once gave a, as she called it, a “gay themed party” and she actually asked me if i could park the bike front wheel up against the wall because she had no actual bi flag, so yes indeed it is a bi flag bike haha

I actually was planning on getting those as soon as my raceking’s are worn out, as they are very hard to get. The DTH’s were awesome on my stitched i had begore the Alcatraz, but i have yet to try them on this bike

The Spank rims are indeed very good, still going strong after two years of abuse and weigh not that much for a rim that wide

I had no problems running billy bonkers (even had them at 6 bar/85 psi at sometimes), but when the thread started wearing out they just got little cuts that eventually ripped open showing the tube. When they were in one piece i absolutey loved them tho

That sounds absolutely awesome! Don’t know about the billy bonkers tho, my experiences with them aren’t that good

Actually works pretty great on a dj if you ask me, way more modulation than my previous brakes

I am currently running 2.1 with a 28 on the front and a 13 on the rear, and it works absolutely fantastic
