Legitimate riding status?
Figured i'd do it, even though i've never read one in my life as I think it's a waste of time copying other people's bikes. Enjoy.
Mark's bike check
Frame: Inertia Hades 20.6. Custom spray job straight outa the box.
Fork: Failure
Brake lever: Odyssey Monolever medium with stripped out barrel thread. Looking to grab the new Fly lever.
Brake: Classic hombre, set up with carbon fibre brake pads and an animal linear cable
Pedals: Gusset slim Jims sealed. All pedals are too easy to destroy, but these have held up best despite having to do regular maintenance.
Cranks: Odyssey standards with DK bottom bracket after i twisted the original doing silly shit.
Bars: Sunday Vinnies. If we ever get a trails season i may switch back to my Metal Sasquatches
Grips: Hoffman mushrooms
Sprocket: Mankind chrome
Chain: standard road bike chain, so much better than all this interlock BS
Rear Wheel: Mocha G-sport rim, laced onto a Proper 10 tooth cassette
Front wheel: Henry's old profile hub on a sun rim. shit idea buying this with all the peg use.
Tyres: Odyssey aitkn front, probably the same on the rear.
Saddle: Macneil pivotal
Seatpost/clamp: Currently a piece of DMR MTB bullshit that's so poorly designed it needs sawing in half. soon to add a shim to run my old kink post. Inertia seat clamp.
Headset: Standard issue 45/45 internal Inertia headset
Extras: Pegs forever. i think they're primo, but it's hard to tell. Various stickers including space invaders on the handlebar.
