I have met multiple people back in the pogo heyday that had multiple devices.

This thing has a lot of opportunities for framebag expression. I only have one bag though.

I’ll try to weigh it today, but it’s a lot. Edit: it’s 26lb.

Sundeal dream is over for me, can’t get enough saddle height even with the 500mm chairpole.

:colbert:

Totally sold on the minivelo thing for multi-modaling and just general ridiculousness, so probably going to buy a Katu 20 after I liquidate some bikes.

Turns out BMX bars suck for actual riding around. I put some Jones bars on but I need a boner stem to get them in the right spot. They’re nowhere near as cool but they feel awesome to ride.

“Let me know what you think”, is this person just looking for feedback on this ridiculous thing or actually trying to sell it?

You know Jones bars can be had prebonered, right?

Yeah but if you experience a ride lasting more than four hours you need to see a doctor ASAP.

Lol  
I’m pretty sure his rides last more than four hours just so he can avoid talking to doctors. Or whoever it is he has to talk to regularly for work.

I considered the prebonered bonerway but a local shop had them in flaccid and I was bored

Also was curious about riding with forearms on the loop. The Sundeal is awesome because I get to buy weird or terrible parts I’d never otherwise own.

Re: Sundeal chat  
I picked up a pair of [these kidblock tires](https://www.ebay.com/itm/20x2-25-Kenda-Kid-Block-Black-w-Blue-Sidewall-BMX-tire-/292333663203) cause cheap and blue with the pink, but the tread leans out past the casing just enough to not fit. 20 minutes with a radial sander got em to just fit, another 20 will have them perfect. Its just a big ledge of rubber. I wouldn’t buy these again but since I did I’m gonna make em work.

Whoa, how did you evenly shave the tires with the sander?
