i can guarentee he is smarter then you , and yes i do know this because i use to ride with him a bit when i was younger and knew him since i was like 8, plus its had to say someone is not very smart just by dealing with a trade, because with a trade you always try to make your deal better

I don't mean his mental capacity and general learning knowledge, I'm talking about how he traded me for the stp 'cause he said he wanted something street, then he rode it like 4 times and then said he wanted the STP back 'cause he never rode the cap... that's what i mean.

If I had the money I'd buy it, not for the specs, not to use it as a donor, that picture made me fell in love with Octane One lol

Building up my first dj bike tomorrow. It's been built on a budget, and will have to ride trail to get out to features/jumps.

Fireeye Shortfuse 380
Marz dj1
Wtb freeride wheelset w/ no name hubs converted to SS.
Hussefelt crankset
Raceface atlas, not sure if I shoulda went higher rise - won't know till I ride it.


Prob leaving some bits out, but stoked to finally to try a different mtb discipline.

how does that make him dumb? when your out of highschool and work full time its not easy to get into street riding for some guys as there are alot of injuries to be had dealing with concrete , and alot of guys cant afford it to miss a month of wortk

Meh, I ride my current bike because I like it. I'll have peer approved bikes, and then just keep riding this one.

Just download the SRAM Argyle RCT pdf and they include a picture of the sektor air cartridge. Showing the difference between em. Use that.

So I got my new forks! turns out after a crazy deal I now have new bars and stem too!

Basically bent the top 5mm of my steerer tube meaning my stem wouldnt clamp Blank Stare

so I put them up for sale as spares/people with short headtubes could use etc ..

I brought some forks,

Then my friend wanted to try out the argyles I had as spares, turns out he has 3" bars and an odyssey stem, with a higher stack than my dartmoor funky, so we swap, he puts it all together, it fits, but the bars sit 10mm higher on one side..

He then goes, f*ck it, gives me £££ for the forks and was so happy to have some forks that worked ( internally they are perfect)

I was so shocked, came out it quite nicely and hes as happy as larry!
