Modifications/Other/Extras:
I put some little pieces of rubber in my pedals so they don’t move a lot when I take my feet off. And I have a half link in my chain.

What parts do you go through the most?
Grips, for sure.

Since you’re pretty tall, do you set your bike up a little bigger, or just go with the big guy on a little bike look instead?
I run a 60mm stem that makes my bike a bit longer and my bars are forward as well. And my seat is high for comfort, too.

How would you describe your bike, dialed, disaster, depends on how lazy you are?
I try to keep it dialed all the time.

Which part of your bike do you dread working on the most?
Getting my chain at the perfect tension is so annoying—especially when it’s got a tight spot in it.
