No front brake right now because I don't have a cable. I'll put the fronts on every now and then when I feel techy. It's been that way for years. I'll ride with brakes for a couple of months, then take 'em off. Then I'll miss them after a while and set them back up.

As for the MDS on Hollow Bites. No mod was required. They fit with no issues. The arm shape is slightly different on the Power Bites compared to the Hollows.

And I didn't think this bike would be overly popular here. They're eating it up over on Bikeguide, however.

This bike is disgusting! 4 pegs, 4 piece bars, 14mm 48 hole front wheel, and what the hell is that thing keeping your seat up off your frame?
Awesome bike.Big Grin

I wouldn't actually say they're eating it up. You had a few comments about it looking rugged. Other than the chainstay mounts and the dropouts, I don't see anything that unique that you can't get with an S&M frame.

I'm not hating, but I think if you're going to fish for compliments on an internet forum for a custom frame that you had made for you, then you should have something a little more remarkable than a generic looking bike with thicker dropouts and whatever the hell else minor changes he had requested.

I don't think he is 'fishing' for compliments. More so showing his bike to the internet as he likes what he has and thinks he should share it with other people. I think the bike does not look generic compared to bikes now a days. A few years back, sure, maybe. Those 'minor' changes also set the bike apart as well, like the chainstay guards and pierced junction.

^^Sorry bro, but maybe we would care more about what you say if you didn't have a troll account. You have your opinions, and exposed them, which is fine. But don't trash someone else who's got his own too...
