How about "Mach Stupid?" Used to describe a speed that no one in their right mind should be going through a particular section. :mrgreen:

Hello,

I am looking to replace a bent wheel. However the original wheels I have say "32h SSW26". Ihave no idea what that means. Should I look for wheels that match that size exactly or is there a range I should look for?

Thanks

steve

Like Whoop-Dee-Doos if you're comparing to dirtbiking. Great workout! We have a 90,000 square foot riding arena nearby and they have two awesome pump tracks. Great workout!
