Modifications/Other/Extras:
I chop off my bars and seatpost a little. On my left pedal I take all the pins out of one side so it’s smoother for grinding.

How quickly can you build a new bike?
If everything goes right 20-to-30 minutes.

It seems like you’ve had the exact same bike setup for years, do you just stick to what you know?
When new parts come out I am always really excited to try them out, as for my basic set up, I think I found what is comfortable for me so I stick with it.

What part do you break to most?
Rear axles.

What is the oldest part on your bike?
I’ve been using my Beringer hubguard for two years.
