Hai

I'll bite. Heres a few of my bikes I've had. No particular order

Full campy groupo Cannondale CAAD3

NJS Bridgestone.

Limited edition IRO mark V with Deddacai tubeset (think Bareknuckle). I sold it, then bought it back. Now its getting a proper NJS treatment because its such adamn nice bike to ride.

One of my first track bikes. Served me well. It went all over the place and got beat to ****e.I ended up selling with mad dents and destroyed paint for 130bucks lulz

Theres a few of them.

Not necessarily true. It's much easier with straps obviously but I had a friend who rode his NJS build for an entire semester without straps.Dude was nuts and rode through traffic to school everyday but he made it happen. When I first learned to skid, I was taught to put my body weight forward andlock my legs. You can definitely do it without straps although it takes tons of practice.

I need to get back on my bike

word, its definitely easy to unweight and skid un-caged. I doubt, i would commute brakeless and without cages/straps here in San Francisco. A lot of my friendsride plain pedal out in Berkeley and stuff, but SF is almost a totally different story...If your boy was riding to school out here then he probable had somecajones! for steep downhill grade you need to actually focus on weighting to the back of the bike. I have skidded almost with no loss in momentum with thewhole "lean forward and unweight your back technique." It's actually kinda scary when you're just flying down into oncoming traffic, andalthough your legs are locked you are still skidding right into the intersection! Also sometimes due to the fact that cars pull up and through intersectionsvery quickly it's much more beneficial to do the whole "quick jerk of your pedal" stop as it takes less movement, and thus less time for you/yourbike to respond.

I ordered an Onguard Pitbull Mini Ulock from Amazon. Is it a decent Ulock?

DonRafa · Nov 17, 2009

Its a decent lock, but I would recommend also getting a cable so that you can lock up both wheels and your frame.

itz rolli · Nov 18, 2009

its a good lock, i have one.

i hacked off the casing, to get some more room inside. gives about a half inch more room.

i do have the krypto also, which i like better. but you really cant go wrong with either, especially for the amazon deal on the onguard.

yeah I got my lock in like 2 days ago. Slightly heavy. How'd you get the casing off?
I'm also considering a helmet right now as I hit a car over the weekend. I didn't hit my head, but I feel safer if I have one haha.
