I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Cool I didn't know that. I have to run a 25-8 until tip plus gets the primo 9t back in stock. On another note. The bike is done and looks sweet as shit. Took it out for a test ride and my 1/2 link chain came apart and I went over the bars. That was a real fun time. Put another chain on it and now I'm about half scared to ride it again. I'll just make one of the shop rats go and test it out. They're young still so they will heal up faster then my old ass.

The forks are awesome. Still has a 33 degree offset like most forks but it looks funny b/c the rake is built into the head tube. Well on my we the people I'm running the kmc 1/2 link and its been fine. I actually found out what happened. I only had 1 spacer in my cranks b/c it seemed like thats all I needed but after riding it for a minute the spindle slid out to the right and made the drive line all off so it snapped the chain. I put another spacer in it and it seemed good again but then it moved one more time but just like 2mm. So now I'm running 3 spacers and it's all fixed. I rode it through the bike shop a few times today and nothing bad happened. Hopefully this will put a stop to the going over the bars.
