31.8s

 

Rob's 22 frame is ready to go. Most of the past few week's work has been outsourcing

 One hard peg chink and the aluminum 20mm axle that I made stripped out. I lathed down a hollow steel one, but I'm not sure a shitty old thru axle hub can take peg abuse like a BMX hub. If this fails I'll just make a thru axle rigid fork.

 Apparently, the unintended micro knurl grips better than expected (after coating) Best of these three actually:

Cody is still rocking his 9" bars. In reference to the rust on the bends: "that's from all the hang five bails"... Inferred subtext: (and I've never regretted a single decision since riding with these bars)

Moto Grom bars

These bars sit between stanchions/fork legs that are 6" apart and within a 4" wide clamp. The vertical sections were ovalized to allow the weld area some room. 29" wide, 3 up, 6.5 back and pretty heavy as they are .083" thick (my BMX bars are .065")

Huntsville

Ran into Chance and Josh out in Huntsville. They let me get a few clips with them before the sun dropped

Chance's Stout from a little more than a year ago: "Iv'e beaten the shit out of this thing" (..have more confidence, I'm knee deep in bitches and I can sink an eight foot since I started riding this frame)

I got some Profile DJs on there, but they required a two foot breaker bar to get them on the spindle. The tolerances of the "new old stock" cranks and the current stock spindles was a bit too tight. I did get a stiffer spring for my fork but still managed to bottom out on a big 8-10' drop that had a little transition... er, it had a decent transition that was full of thorny weeds that I had to skip over. Was that a "cool story bro"?
