Pulled the trigger
Well I decided that beadlocks are going to be in order, with my current plans. I went ahead and ordered these.
$1695.00 for a set of 5 shipped.
Now I just need the bumper I want, and i can mount the spare.
Monster Beadlocks

Scared me for a minute, with the title, I thought you were referring to Bicycle Boy.

Wife is super happy! (sarcasm)
But I "need" them because they are being discontinued and they were regular $619 a wheel. More than 1/2 off a wheel, I jumped on it.

I'm with you on that one!! I mounted and balanced my tires a couple weeks ago and after doing all 4 at once my back was done. the 35" claws on 15x10 steelies are HEAVY! Oh well though, they're strong!
Hurry and get yours mounted so we can get some porn!

Gon, remember that comment I once made?
Anyway .. does it make you feel good to be so well loved and praised on an internet message board? is it the best .. thing .. ever?
I've always thought it was so weird how people take internet boards so seriously at an emotional level. They derive so many emotions from typing things back and forth to other people who they wouldn't even know if they were standing next to them in a line somewhere .. strange era we exist in. This can't be a healthy thing for children ..
All I know is that people on the internet have talked some serious smack to me that I would absolutely love for them to say to me in person, for the jail time, if need be, would be worth it. I'm not speaking of anyone on this message board, of course.. everyone here is extremely courteous at all times. If members of a board get together and say "We don't like that member because he tends to speak his mind too much! so ban him!" it ends up happening. Pretty stupid - the internet existence, that is.
Enjoy your money though, for you seem to have it aplenty.
Oh .. and I haven't owned a bicycle in about 25 years.. so that was funny .. "Bicycle Boy"

What's wrong with owning a bike? I have 2 of them and I love them both. Granted, neither have a white basket or pink tassels on them. I have a nice road bike and a marin full susp bike. Sometimes it's okay to not grow up and be a kid

You just don't learn when to keep your mouth shut, do you?
You don't 'speak your mind too much', you don't listen to those trying to help you, then you act like an ass. (point quoted). I've been on this forum for ~4 years, and you are the first user I've seen anyone have a problem with here, and it's not just a few.
One of the hard lessons I had to learn when I was a kid was that there was a reason not many other kids liked me. I changed myself, and was a lot better for it. I recommend looking into that.

I will say this. How ever sarcastic this was meant to be, you proved that you learned something. Before you would just fly off the handle, upset everyone, blame everyone else, send unnecessary PM's, etc. This time you acted quite civil. I am being serious by the way. This shows me that you actually value you membership on this board and that you don't want to repeat what just happened. Did I make an example out of you... yes. Did I try to be civil myself and confront you one on one first... also yes.
You obviously think i'm rich, but its just not the case. My 4runner is the product of 12 months in Afghanistan where I had nothing to spend money on. I do not own my own house, my wife also works, we don't have kids. I have no bills really. My wheels that you just referred to where bought on a credit card. I didn't just out right buy them.
I don't believe that I am loved and praised. I believe that people value a knowledgeable information when it comes to a mechanical issue. Especially when it saves them a few bucks or they are able to fix it themselves.

How do you like the one sided front fork? Cannondale lost me when they did a little 1.5 inch shock on the front above the fork, then they kind of lost me again with their one sided front fork. Do you get a lot of flex on the shock during hard braking?
