Apparently you're now a legend in New Zealand. My best friend is a god in a small Mexican village. (I'm dead serious)

Nope. That was me. He invented a sport and amazed a Mexican tourist family. They took a home video. Two years later someone else on the opposite side of Mexico recognized him and informed us of his status as a god.

Drop outs for my hardtale : the stock ones gave to short a wheelbase so I stretched it out and made them stronger.

Can't find photos at the moment but I also made a Lexan chain guide for my SX-trail. it's pretty light, clear and very effective at keeping my chain on. umm other a few other random bits over the years, like replacement top caps for shifters, spacers, disc rotor truing tools.

I didn't make this, but the previous owner made a new metal bash guard when he wrecked the original TruVativ one. This thing is solid
