I had issues with the tubeless tires so I swapped them out last minute. This is probably a better style tire for me anyway, especially this time of year as everything is pretty sloppy at my usual spots. This bike is a pretty big change from my old clunker. It’s seems so light and smooth. I’m really liking it so far. After a quick spin around the driveway I went to the local pump track with my kid and chased him around. I didn’t push hard as I wanted to make sure I got everything tightened up properly. After about an hour of riding I needed to adjust the tensioners to take a little slack out of the chain, but everything else seems great. The brake is amazing, I’ve never ridden a BMX that can stop like this. The bars seem huge and wide but it’s seemed so comfortable I’m going to leave those alone for the time being. I still have tubeless dreams, but I’ll probably wait until summer when it’s dryer out. I’m curious to see how the rear hub holds up, it feels good to me on the first ride. Engagement is quick and it’s very quiet which I like. This is by far the best bike I’ve ever owned. I’ve had some low/mid tier bikes of all types previously so I’m pretty excited to say the least. I’ll quit posting about my build now, I”m sure you all have seen enough. Let me know if I goofed up and put something on backwards! 😛

This is a sick build! I’ve been eyeballing this frame since they released it. I bought a park bike but only end up ever riding street so I’ve been wanting something that can accommodate a bigger sprocket. Hoping I’ll be able to build something like this in a year or two.
Let us know how it’s going after you get a few weeks of riding in!
