Bike-gasm. Nice Jordan- how much she weight? (you don't have to get this one as drunk?)

flag spoiledgoods (Mar 20, 2009 at 12:03)
The final weight was 27.11 pounds with a 16t cog, so im guessing 27.10 with the 13t.
So nice man! Bikes with specific geo are where its at.

Naw,
I just picked up a BB7 MTN for it.
Just have to grab a rotor, an adapter, and mount it up.
Should be good.

Last ?.....is it a tubeless set up?
  • + 0
flag spoiledgoods (Mar 20, 2009 at 15:55)
Haha,
Nope, tubes are in their. Im not a fan of tubeless for street. I like to have the assurance that if i blow a tire off the rim i can fix it, not be screwed.

Hmmm, I'm debating it. Do any top dogs in the bike world run Tube-less?
