Those that say that there's no difference between a cheap hub and a good one, have probably never ridden a good cassette for longer than about a minute, or have never had to take one apart. Decent hubs can make a cheap bike feeling nicer, cheap hubs can make a good bike feel shitty.

Yeah if you have never ridden a better bike or you are new you probably will not know the difference, but once you ride a good hub even new riders can tell it feels smoother.

I don't like a shit ton of pawls. I like the more simpler cassette models that are harder to break. My opinion. If I like something I won't replace it till she breaks. I made the switch to four piece bars aka big fours and I am in love with the feel. Best decision I made the angles are so perf for me. Legit one arm is shorter then the other by a hand length. Broke my humerus and it was not funny. I don't wanna go bigger then 8.25 until my back starts to hurt. I'm in love with the 90 East Bars and GT. Will defs be investing in them one day there to sick but I got lots of miles left in the big fours she treats me good.


Have you thought of getting s&m to make you a set of offset bars so you can have a straight stance when you ride rather than being twisted?

This. I thought my Tungsten wheels were awesome until I bought my Sunday which has only marginally better wheels (Quartet hubs with aerospace rim) and was blown away by how much better they were. Way stiffer, proper welded rim, brakes even worked a lot better too.

Understandable.

No idea Urb.

Also, I really hope some of you can come out and support the rad dudes of BBE and the Windspr box scene today. Forest glass skate park, basically all day. I know it's not a far drive for some of you.
