QnA

What parts do you destroy the most?

Straps. I guess I fall weird.

Whats the weight of your bike? Do you care?

26.5lbs. Hell no.

So you are riding pegless now? What’s good?

Yeah, I destroyed the bearings on my old Miche hub beyond repair. So Chari & Co hooked me up with a temporary Velocity Hub. It has a hollow axel so I don’t plan on riding pegs on it. I figured while I am filming right now

Word on the street is that you have a 9T driver option up your sleeves?

Yeah. I have the fixed 9t hub in my possession right now, but it has a 14mm axel and I am waiting till my next frame with 14mm dropouts.

One word for the Grime?

YES.

  4. Fixed 9th? Has that been done? Seems like that would fail, or wear out really quickly. Seems like a lot of stress to put on 4-5 teeth.

  5. Are they Scerbo bars with only the top/cross bar kept?
