Parts you go through most often?
Grips, pegs, I can’t true wheels at all so those too.
Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?
Eastern and Eastern
Do you care about the looks of your bike? Na, not really. I’m not Karl, I don’t own a lint roller, haha
Are you picky on how it rolls?
Haha my bike rolls so ghetto and bumpy, I don’t give a damn as long as it rolls. I suck at working on bikes.
What tire pressure do you run?
I’m not sure maybe I pump it up to 80 or 90, not too hard not too soft
What are the modifications you made to your bike?
Cut the bars, put on 2 hub guards in the back, and run
the chain mad loose so the cranks can spin.Any special reason for the colour combination of your bike?
Nah I’m just feelin’ it at the moment.
