Animal Strip seat:
Very nice, light, but not a very great shape for sitting on. feels weird and not the most comfortable for a padded seat. If you never sit then i recomend it. if you sit down a lot then maybe try another seat.

Khe loita rear hub- Payed £60 for this of alansbmx.com was on a budget and this was one of teh cheapest 9t hubs out there, when i got it, it looked amazing, clean and simple, just how i liked it, after about a month of riding it, it developed a very slight wobble, 2 years on and the wobble is still there, however its not got any worse and is barely noticable, driver has been fine, not a single problem, axle is one of the strongest ive used, i run four pegs and it has held up to some hack grinding. very quite hub if your into that kinda hub, 9/10

Gsport Ratchet hub- one of the best hub by far I have ridden in my entire rider life.strong, solid, best shit for your bucks. its loud, and its light, ( if you take 3/8 alloy axle wich i have ), got it in 9t and i run 25/9 gearing, it work perfect with my shadow interlock chain. Sick hubs, bomb proof really

Eastern Curb Monkey tire- I ride a lot every day and it lasted me half a year in the front, it's tread is good for street and park, unfortunately the max PSI is 65. Eastern made a HP (hi-pressure) version that's probably better. It comes in 2.3 which is a bonus.

Odyssey Elm street tire- Great street/park tire. Lots of flatlanders ride them too, and I think the tread would be good for racing as well. Probably not the best tire for you if you mostly ride dirt jumps. It's max PSI is over 100, the tread is probably the best tread that I've ever had, and it's strong. The only downside is the only widths it comes in are 1.85 and 2.1. I wouldn't recommend the 1.85 for anything but flatland and racing. The 2.1 is great though. They are a little bit hard to find now, but they are great tires.

Anyone know if the Kink Human bars are decent?

I got the Kink Lynx bars ATM, and they're great. Super light, and very strong. I am replacing them soon, but only because of a geo change. They have a lifetime warranty, so you don't need to worry about them breaking.

Fit's made by S&M, my S&M slams are strong as anything. So if you like big bars, Sky Highs are probably good, I'd maybe go with S&M hoders though.
