Save your money till something on your bike brakes or needs replacing

[fattyandthepiemakers]

Just get some hardcore DJ gear (eg. Helmet, pads, gloves etc...)

[luckyphil]

$220?
that should get you... what... 3 basic english grammer lessons?

[Sunday!]

yeah already got gear (gloves, dirt lid, shinnies) all sorts of armour so yeah

[Caine]

by a second hand brake set? depends what your bike needs

[jimmmy]

hmmm, lets see,

-lock-ons
-pedals
-seat

etc'eraa etc'eraa

[Sunday!]

yeah might get a freestyle seat and some hookworms

[jimmmy]

and some hookworms

HAH, if you want to make you bike a boat anchor.
some holy rollers would be the go....but the K-rads hool up pretty nicely anyway.

[Sunday!]

ok maybe not hookworms... lol hmm i might run with kendas till tread runs out... maybe save up a bit and get sum new rims??

[MikeT]

nice bar stem combo usually goes down nicely.

[Sunday!]

my mate will give me his titec el norte bars so bars are down... maybe a stem 100... or just save for rims??

[kevpun]

What about some lights for nocturnal activity??

[Juls]

$220 could get some nice Cranks, or get a better chainguide than the DMR, like a E13 or MRP or Blackspire even.

some nice pedals or a decent seat, you got lockons? if not why not?

You got a 20mm fork??

It's spelt grammar. ;)

luckyphil it looks like my 220 bucks will be spent better than yours... i'll go buy my mtb stuff and you can go back to school

[cam-o]

Champ, if you need to ask what you need to buy the short answer is probably you don't need to buy anything. I assume you haven't had the STP very long? Just ride the bugger for a while, you'll soon work out for yourself if anything needs changing.

[Sunday!]

yeah your right there only had it a month or so... already snapped a stem and lbs replaced it... therefor im buying a new stem and bars...
i keep getting chainstuck and dropping my chain so im getting a chainguide
my grips are almost worn out so im getting grips
and my seat and pedals are junk...
HOWS THAT SOUND

[cam-o]

Sounds like you've worked it out. Now that you know what you want and why, go for it.

Grips are almost worn out after a month, damn.......:eek:

[Sunday!]

[jimmmy]

Those grips are pathetic...

Heres what im thinking... its a tad over 400 but hey
odi ruffian MX lock on

just get the standard ruffians, the MX's make no difference. HAH, no point tryin to make your bitch a try-hard moto...

[-DAvo]

yeah would be interesting to see where the stem snapped, did it snap at the weld or just right through?

still waitin on those pics thou.. you seem to take pics of everything else, so post that pic of your snapped stem and lets laugh at giant OEM produce..
