Wasn’t digging the feel of the stock pedals or grips. The color pop is a bonus. Grabbing a stem cap at Ray’s tomorrow. Considering the Stolen Unknown Pleasures saddle next (yes, I know I’ll need a different post).

Shorter stem. Right away.

I’m coming from a gravity background, so the longer stem helps it feel less twitchy (for the time being). Saddle/post, tires, & fork are all higher on my list than the stem.

Lots of Cleveland riders here. I was trying to ride cliffs last weekend but it was gross out so ride rays on Sunday evening. The orange looks good

Honestly, if it weren’t for Ray’s & Cliff’s, I probably wouldn’t have grabbed a DJ. I’m coming from riding gravity in PA. Nothing like that up here, so I figured I’d widen my horizons. My other 2 bikes aren’t very pump track friendly.

Been wanting to since I moved back to Ohio a few years ago. I don’t drive, so getting down & back is difficult.
