U-brakes that take a regular threaded pad that don't let the pad & pivot point go past parallel when engaged/touching the rim. When they go past this point it wastes power because the pads aren't pushing straight into the rim, but into the rim at ... more »

Ehhh that's a decent drop down, if it gets funky inside the tire it'll explode Fuckit it's just a tube it's going to get punctured or pinched anyways

Yeah you don't need to pedal most of the time duh You can't tell me you've never hit a line wrong or just needed that extra crank before a big jump tho c'mon

Are you going to keep riding bikes at some capacity? If you have the access to trails and ability to get a MTB it'll fill the bike void. Fixed gear ripping is mad fun too. I'll remember our beef when we were teens ❤️

Marine grease or whatever you can get at AutoZone Grease this stuff: -bolt threads (lightly, only a little dab/swipe at the bottom of threads, no need to even go all the way around) -the mating surface between headset bearings and your frame (a thin ... more »

I can't let go and send it 100% by myself. Tried to hold onto a manual a lil too long once and knocked myself out in a park once. When I woke up later nobody had come across me and it made me really think about what would happen if things were worse ... more »

Bro you NEEEEEED to be able to pedal for speed this can't be real 💀 This would be feasible if you only rode a set a jumps that were perfectly built or were a perfect rider that could carry crazy speed into everything

I second Four, Try 9" bars and a top load or 9.25-9.5" with a front load, it'll feel nice.

A few reasons I think bmx could be shrinking -lots of old bmx dudes are boners that don't see riding they idolize as worthwhile or legitimate and are dicks to new riders -skateboarding has a welcoming community that does a better job of embracing diversity ... more »

No bikes no fun

Here’s the thing about BMX… There’s no rules but there are opinions and what people like to see and what they hate.. A majority of the core are stuck in the era they love and grew up with and have a idea of how their bike should be set up and how you ... more »

Cuffed pants look good Baggy pants look good Skinny jeans look good We should be incredibly appreciative and grateful that our lives are good enough to have the time and resources to share our shitty opinions on aggressive kid bike riding online. Also

Here's the company's breakdown of the housing. It's a little unnecessary but the housing compresses very very little. The design is a cool hybrid of linear and regular cables, plus it looks cool. The brake feels better than any other U-Brake I've felt, which is probably a combination of ... more »

I tried finding this too when I assembled a customer's bike, concluded that "fairly tight" was the answer. They're real beefy cranks, go tight but don't try and go full gorilla torque on it. Check it during and after a sesh and if you feel a lil wiggle, ... more »

They feel good! This setup is feeling killer, the brake housing really is a notch above most other housings, it's just ridiculously expensive 💀

I don't know why the images uploaded in that order I tried 🤷🏻
