Thanks, I will give the shop a call where I bought, they looked it over before I walked out the store. Hopefully they can straighten things up.

So I have smashed my shin with my peddles a few time but have yet to bang up my ankles. Do ankles usually get caught when trying to grind?

Thanks for all the input. What about sizing are Fuse pads true to the size the recommend on their sizing chart? I am 6'1" 195lbs and would assume i would need L or XL pads?

Let me know how they go, I am in no rush.

I am looking at getting knee, elbow and maybe shin pads. What specific brand and models are good and not too pricey? Besides a skate park requiring them, which of the three are most critical for BMX (elbow/knee/shin)? Thanks

Thanks for the help. So I replaced the ball bearings and everything is back together. However I still have some play/rattle in the wheel. Assuming this means the hub is worn out? If so, doesn’t seem worth spending the $100 for a new wheel when I bought ... more »

Reply to Rear Bearings Replacement 6/28/2019 1:06 PM

With trying to fix these ball bearings I have heard that I will most likely have the same issue again. Is it because or dirt and moisture? Or is it because of the pounding from jumps, bunny hops etc? Ultimately I just need this bike to survive until ... more »
