So I like to ride... Differently. This is my daily bike. I use it to travel around my city, and aside from that:
Single Track
Skate Parks
The dirt jumps my LBS set up for MTBers.
Anybody else take part in that kind of riding on a cross bike? Usually I leave fenders on it. Never had any trouble with clearance or anything.
Also I made these and have been riding them for 4 years.
Am I a Fred?

Did you just cut out a slot in the bottom and screw in the cleat?
Looks sweet having a "normal" shoe, fuck mtb shoes

EXPLODING WRISTS

Took an old pair of mtb shows, hacksawed everything off but the plastic sole, bought a pair of normal shoes 1 size too big and glued the sole into the normal shoes with a hole. Works perfect. Walking is still stiff, though, and the cleats will clack until they wear down.

Kenda K161's, I think.
They are cheap, but I like the gumwall--and the gumwall turns nice and dark after a while. Never had a puncture or a pinch flat in them.

Actually no I don't do much technical stuff in the hoods--the drops mostly. And they are extra narrow bars so my hands are really wrapped around the sides.

I can see the charger for your bottom bracket engine.
>>985491

>>985421
Yes. The best kind of Fred.

Enjoy buying lots of replacement wheelsets when you completely crater them constantly.

You have ten seconds to justify not motor doping.

fuck off with your velominati bullshit and ride on a day when it's actually more than 68 degrees fahrenheit
>Bullshit, the thread

You're the dickhead that practices the same jump over and over at the local trails so when a guy on a mtb rolls up you can do the jump and make him think you're a really good rider for doing it on a cx bike
>>985909
Isn't that the definition of practice?
