Thanks man. I actually was sent 2 of those stickers since I had to buy the 15mm adapter for the front wheel so I put one on each side of the bike. It just loooked like a good idea to put em on that part of the frame since they fit perfectly.

I liked the wheels so much i had to find a way to get those stickers somewhere on the bike itself 😆

lol its funny you mention that. Cuz as soon as I had put everything on I gave it a good cleaning just for pictures. But as of now my bike is some type of muddy color mixed with a light tan dust color with some blue bleeding through here and there

Sweet looking ride BioHazard. Cool color scheme. How do you like the white seat?

I love that saddle. I ride for 4 hours and no pain at all. That is the same saddle the bike comes with but in white with blue letters. I did not wanna take a chance on another saddle since the one that came with it was perfect. Atleast for me. So when I saw it in white I had to jump on it as it played in with what I wanted to do with the bike.

you’re not riding difficult enough trails until that saddle is brown…

so how do you like those grips, ive been looking at those PDW grips and was wondering how they feel not having the grip material go the whole length of the grip, does it feel like it gives you a better feel for shifting and braking or is the alloy section just for looks

I was a tad weary as well as far as performance and feel as well but took a chance. And i stand behind them all the way. They perform as if they were custom made for the shifters and brakes. I would definately recommend them.

Very nice looking. Personally, I think I like the black seat, post, stem, but it’s definitely a looker and you’ve clearly spent some time coordinating everything. Nice work. So let’s see those "dirty" pictures of her now.
Slightly off topic, but are there any advantages/disadvantages to the spoke pattern on those wheels vs. what I would consider a more traditional spoke pattern?
And do I see a blue accent on your pedals, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

To connect the 24 spokes Crankbrothers used 12 small vertical "ribs" around the perimeter of the rim, holding two spokes each side-by-side. Rather than being drilled in 24 places like a traditional rim, each pair of spokes connect with a small steel pin where they meet the rim through a single hole. Because the rim itself is not drilled, it greatly increases stiffness and fatigue life, all the while eliminating the chance of air seeping out of spoke holes.
