Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Forgot to mention the addition of the shitty wound up fork into the equation...

No, you are wrong, dale track frame and wound up fork is one of the radest HHSB frame and fork combos. Probably my personal favorite.

Just because something is that expensive, it does not mean that it is any good. There are better fork options on the market!

£300 + for a fork that is not even track specific?! Outrageous. It's a road fork with the drop outs glued on backwards ffs.

• think I've heard some similar things said about the 14R. You're one of the people behind that aren't you?
  
  

With you on the rack thing tho.

I'm just saying I would rather spend that money on a full carbon monocoque fork.

I don't trust a fork bonded together with resin...

the 14R is great, such a good frame imo

Ive only tried alpina vs wound up on my Low, and I am glad I spent some extra on the fork.

Maybe Enve or some other good fork would ride as well but I am also digging the looks of wound ups

Don't care if its a reep, its still gorgeous! ;D

Never seen a full carbon monocoque fork look good on a dale yet.

Do wound up forks have a high failure rate in comparison to monocoque? Can't really see anything in your argument to suggest it's anything other than personal preference but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, i like the 14R too. I was just pointing out that with both the wound ups and the 14R there are better performance options for the same money just maybe with less hip hop slave potential.

what's wrong with 'em, ever tried them?

yeah I have actually.

not safe brakeless.

how's that?

dale track frame and original fork is one of the radest hhsb frame and fork combos. Probably my personal favorite.

ftfy

Heard they unclip quite easy? Are they a MTB pedal mainly?

this. + too much float

Good on mud-shedding and clipping in on 4 sides. good for CX.

^IMO.

I haven't ridden them a lot, tried them and unclipped + heard lots of stories.

not out to single handedly dismiss them as shit pedals.

ftfy

Whatever.

If you want to harp on about originality and period correctness, bike porn is that way >>>>>>>>

For aesthetics and strait up rad steez you want wound ups on your dale all day long!

Can still be period correct and rad as fuck. HHSB<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Two fine examples of sticking with the original fork and being rad as fuck.

those are nice!

Both would look better with wound ups tho :)

Fuck did you actually enjoy something I just posted?

NO.

I might just post Cannondales with the original forks from now on, couldn't give a fuck if I repost them.

Fad as ruck!

that is pretty fucking cool actually.

Moar rad
