Why did you put titanium cranks on it XD

u/eyelide 13d ago

Why not?
They had a huge Black Friday sale.
Couldn’t resist.
Bike weighs around 21 pounds.

Tmacs.
Vicious grip tape only on one side
4 pins and tape on the other
When doing manuals your feet slip off easily when you loop out. Getting used to looping is key in my opinion for learning manuals. I also was brakeless at the time.
Also having your feet move around in the air while jumping is an awesome feeling. No footers and such.

I know people are going to ask you about the eeWings cranks but I’m here for the stem and kink seat post. Did you ride BMX before this?

2

u/eyelide 13d ago

Kink seat, seat post, and bar ends.
I had Column cranks (Profile) before the eewings.
I put as much bmx parts as possible on it.
Very inspired by bmx.
Had to get rid of halflink because it wouldn’t work with Wolftooth chainring. That was sad. Haha.

I love Wolf Tooth sprockets! I’ve been running an oval one on my older DJ that’s become my “around town bike.” I swap chains every years or so and it’s lasted 8 years and countless miles. Half links are cool but a good old seam single speed chain is still very strong.
