hahaha dang 14 dollars a gallon holy crap thats a lot. and WE'RE complaining. yeah i looked online for kona stinky's and it says 1500 pounds. thats like 3000 dollars. here, thats like a stinky deluxe so i suppose its way cheaper here. and the new konas look ugly as hell except the cowan. that looks nice. hey, btw, how old are u? my friend was like eww youre a pedophile victim! 86 year old person with a 303!

hahaha so i suppose you live in the village like steve peat! thats nice. fresh air means live longer and ride more! gasoline here costs $4.33. and its the cheapest too. it ranges that to like 4.70's in US dollars. and its per 1 gallon. i suck at conversions. can you ship me a stinky if its like 1000 dollars? hahaha

septemberish? alright. keep me updated. hook me up if you can. even though shipping it would probably cost like 200 dollars. HAHAHA. here, i live in like a whole different part of the US. its like 90% asian and mexican in some areas. so you see a lot of walmart bikes. hahaha. but we go by the term that asian drivers suck. my white friend (who lives in an asian neighborhood hahaha) got side swiped by a mirror of a car while he was riding. the woman was asian. haha. he then said to the woman "slow down dumbass!" so she was like "thats not very nice" and hes like "gosh. i wanted to like slap her then ride away. but then ill be afraid i might be shot by her...kimchi gun" haha i was laughing really hard but i guess it sounds lame through text

because! what asians do is study all day and dont do crap! besides they suck at driving. HAHAH but yeah. one day my mom was like why dont u go out and ride a little? (because i had academy for like 4 hours and other stressful stuff) then i complained that my bike is crap and my wheel is bent. also saying that its not even fun to ride any more since its in such a bad condition. so when the stinky price drops, she was like "yeah we'll go check it out" so i was freaking happy. so you gotta keep me updated on the prices alright? haha

ohh ic. for me, its not saving. its convincing my parents. i have to wait like 1-2 more years since im a student and i should be studying. thats bullshit. bikes are in my head while im studying and it doesnt make me concentrate! but if i do get the bike, i would wanna ride it. so either way, damn it. umm ima start working 2 years after i finish college apps and all the other crap in my way. damn. being asian is gay...

oooooh hahaha. what does OBO also mean? i think im gonna upgrade later, but for now, i just need the money and just to get the bike

naw. i just sat at it and admired the 66 and everything except the shimano's. i mean cmon. at least get some XT's. im fine with the hayes though. i have no complaints. im a sram man, so ill probably get X0's or X9's for the rear, since shimano makes better front derailleurs than sram. how did the stinky feel? does it climb pretty decently? it has a second chainring. since it has LX's, ima just wait it out so it becomes like 1500 or less, hopefully. oh btw, what is LBS? im always confused when people use it. i think its pounds

July 9, 2008 at 20:54
yay? everybody i know i talk to tells me to not get the stinky cuz kona sucks. i think it looks cool. yeah im planning to get the 08 one. maybe next year when the 09's come out and the 08's get cheaper

joexspocent92 wrote
July 8, 2008 at 13:33
haha ic. because for the roco, you would have to buy the shock body, coil, and the mounting hardware when the 5.0 comes with everything. and if i get a stinky, i could just change the shock body. so is the roco better on downhill than the 5.0, but the 5.0 is better on drops? what happens if your propedal is on and you do like a drop. does it screw it up internally?

joexspocent92 wrote
July 7, 2008 at 21:31
ohh ic. tell me how good it feels and stuff. fox makes forks super plush. but i realized that there was a difference between the vanilla r on the bighit and the stinky's roco coil. the roco has a less jolt than fox does when the shock is compressed in and out. you probably dont know what i mean. is the 5.0 better than the roco wc? the roco costs so much more, but i hear a lot of complaints about them blowing like the 5th element

is it stiff and disgusting? i felt the 66's on the kona stinky, and omg. amazing. my friend's Z1 08 is crap and doesnt have eta. thats so convenient. eta for dj on an AM/FR fork. i heard about the 40 snapping and leaking, but it looks so cool and active on videos! it got really low ratings on mtbr.com. it got like 2-3's out of 5's when the boxxers got like 4.9's. i still think the 40 is cool. i need to see them for myself

July 5, 2008 at 21:32
yeah. fox is good. i heard a lot of bad things about the 40 though. hey. what is the z1 for? is it for 4X and DJ? its stiff and horrible! my friend has it on the big hit 08 fsr 1 and its terrible. my old RST is more active

joexspocent92 wrote
July 4, 2008 at 22:20
umm i wouldnt risk doing it. haha. i had a crap RST fork but then got a marzocchi AM 3 2007 for like 200 bucks online. i felt invincible on it, so i did drops and ended making my lockout broken and leaked stanchions. and my rims bent. so i sent it back to marzocchi and told them everything. i broke it in 3 months! now, the performance is sucking a little bit. ever since i got the fork rebuilt, i can now bottom it out easier and it makes a huge noise when i pop it up high. but the only way to not make that happen is adjusting the rebound. it worked, but its not as active. and i have a huge paint dent on the tire side cuz my damn tire always rubs on it. i want like a pike. i heard really good reviews on them since a lot of the fox 32's snap hearing from people. or i want the 36, despite it probably costs more than the bike itself

ohh ic. yeah the high rollers look pretty amazing. both of my crap alex rims are bent. about 1.5-2 cm are wobbling outside the wheel. i had 2.35 tires on and it totally screwed up the paint on my new fork. the 2.1's dont scratch at all. the front is more bent than by back. i just get paranoid when i do fast downhill and it feels like my rims are gonna collapse

joexspocent92 wrote
July 3, 2008 at 1:51
yeah. the high rollers look crazy. i think greg minnar uses them for the back and the minions for the front. or vice versa. idk. how are the minions? high rollers are kinda expensive too. i need to get a new wheelset or a truing stand. oh, and is it possible to fix a bent rim (un-taco'd) with a truing stand?

July 2, 2008 at 17:51
yeah. thanks for the encouragement. im trying really hard. my tires suck so much which makes me shift left or right all the time!

alright ill IM you. do you have facebook/myspace?

yeah. i literally never go on MSN. my AIM is joexspocent92. ahh ic. thats cool. the chainstay is shorter. i use 2.1 tires right now because i got them for free. the stock tires lasted me for 2 years. haha. they were amazing. they were 2.3's and it was waaaay easier to manual and wheelie with them. i tried my friend's medium hardrock frame and it seems to be easier. more stable

June 30, 2008 at 22:05
yeah. its harder for me because i have an XL frame when i need a med or a large. ahah but i still get the hang of it. i can only do it for like 3 seconds while my friend can do it for like 15. he says its easier to do manuals on a dual suspension

joexspocent92 wrote
June 27, 2008 at 16:41
true. true. but i just need to master my manuals. i found out switching your tires makes a big difference. but im getting a new bike soon, so i need to get used to that first. umm i usually dont use msn, but mines josephmoox92@hotmail.com

naw. its like 100 percent urban. if you DO try to build a trail, youre probably in another city because cerritos is very small. only some small dirt jumps here and there near the flood channels

joexspocent92 wrote
June 27, 2008 at 14:19
it SUCKS. cerritos is "not known." people make fun of me at school saying that they always see me outside biking, and i have "biker legs." its a good thing too, because i can jump higher than anyone. there arent really legit trails in cerritos because they have too much money. they spend a lot of money on useless places like sculpture gardens and they repave their roads every 4 years. and change flowers every season. haha. and we have no trails that means we go off container bins and other stupid crap like that

joexspocent92 wrote
June 26, 2008 at 13:16
haha thanks. yeah. that 3 stair. its not that high of a drop, but i was just scared that i might not clear it. that car JUST had to be there
