Guys I need a new front wheel and a rear rim, my front hub is dying and my rims are stock, plus I hate mismatched rims so I thought I might as well start looking for a complete front and rear rim, I am a heavy 240 dude, any recomendations? I might actually just get a whole new custom bike since I'm already saving up for a new frame lol

Budget? You pretty much can't go wrong with Hazard Lites. And front hubs are almost all the same so pick a cheap one in a pretty colour.

Wheels are something I am not looking forward to save money on, tbh this time I'm planning on buying quality shit for once lol. I'll take a look at Hazard lights and a female hub, maybe saltplus

I need a new back hub. I just want to decide whether I'm going to keep riding next spring first so I don't waste my money.

I'm going to join the cool freecoaster crew if I do.

Never ever sell your bike. Even if you quit. That's my rule. It will go in a cupboard and a few of the bits will go to people who need them.

if you join up go with a tried and true option. Im partial to the federal but any of the ones that are soacer style adjustable slack should be the go to.

They are also selling one now that comes with hub gaurds. Got the plastic NDS one and its pretty decent, sits further from the spokes than the old alloy one so less spoke rub on chanffered ledges.

This would be the downside to bringing in outside attention to a sport based on trespassing and vandalism. Sucks to say it out loud but that's what it is. Especially stupid to do something like that if you have a youtube vlog with significant following.
