I am so used to having gears, I kinda burned myself out. There are a buch of adjustments that have to be made, but I like it so far. I will post pics once I get some. Gotta tell you guys who ride these SS's, good job. I didn't get to ride it much, but hope to hit up the local skate park after my honeymoon... _________________ " I drink a whiskey drink, I drink a chocolate drink, when I need to pee, I use the kitchen sink." - Homer Simpson "The inner machenations of my mind are an enigma" Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2002 7:02 pm M.W.

But my bike is also my DH and trail ridin bike along with its normal jumping and street use. So thats why ive kept the big heavy wheels and gears on. I think once i get a DH bike itll be bye bye to those. Other thing with SS is now u have to REALLY pedal for our dirt jumps and i dunno if itd be possible to find the right gearing _________________ DJBB www.e13components.com www.495bmx.com Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2002 10:47 pm grommet All-City   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 1742 M.W. wrote: Wicked.

First time I was on the 250 I couldn't believe how my legs hurt after awhile. Now...no problem.
