Modifications/Other/Extras:
Cut my brake mounts off, choped my seat post off, and all my axels and nuts. And lots of spray paint

Which parts do you go through the most?
Pedals, chains and sometimes wheels. Depends on what kind of stuff I’m into at the time

Describe your bike setup and how you like your bike to feel…
Solid. If its making noise or anything it makes it feel really gross. I hate when my chain gets stretched out too. so i try to change it alot. and pretty low psi… its good on the ankles.

How long have you been brakeless? Why’d you take them off? Will you ever put them back on?
About 9 to 10 months. I don’t really know. I had taken my bike about to paint it one time and I wanted to go ride right after so I just went to the park without them. Plus it makes my bike feel really good. I don’t know if I will put them back on. If I get bored of not having them then I will. I don’t see it happening though.

Do you paint your bike often?
Yes and no. If I have a new frame I try not to paint it until it gets really rough looking

Do you work on your own bike?
Yes… quite a bit actually.
