The Shadow is in the middle though, a male axle hub would be at the bottom, G-Sport at the top, and Shadow in the middle as it's fairly generic but then again most front hubs are. My only gripe with the G-Sport is that it's an aluminum axle. Yeah sure ... more »

I'd personally get the Shadow. I have the Raptor front hub which is nearly identical to it (6902 bearings, chromoly axle & bolts) and I'm a well-known front hub killer, but it's held up just fine to all my grinding and I like doing a lot of hangers ... more »

oh hey you're that guy who occasionally follows then unfollows me on Instagram because I don't wanna follow you back. I'll pass

too much space will make the bearing stick out some. a tiiiny bit isn't usually a problem but generally I feel like they feel a little shittier when they're sticking out, even though the outer race seats are just to prevent the bearings from moving in ... more »

Those guides aren't very helpful, too many frames use too many different sizes. The inner tube spacer is usually around 50mm, give or take some mms, but what size you use depends on your frame and the space in between the bearing. Do you have calipers ... more »

just ignore captain autism there, I guess he thinks he's developed some super new form of trolling or something

you'll just have to look, sometimes hubs will have some dimensions to them. I'm not sure what some of those abbreviations mean but the O.L.D. is the hub spacing (rear bmx is 110mm), the F.T.F. I assume means flange to flange, so the offset is probably ... more »

yeah, they'll probably feel weird to ride with backward pedals unless you're mechanically inclined enough to swap the pedal bodies, but even then you run the risk of the pedals working themselves loose from the crank arm. my friend rode his Wombolts ... more »

You can but your pedals will be on backwards then

Whip flips

do you mean pedal 5 or what? I don't think I've ever seen someone do a 1 footed nose manual but I've seen people do pedal 5s which is your one foot on the peg and other foot stays on the pedal. they're weird. I've tried them but can't do them

as long as the edges are fairly rounded I think they'd be good and look cool since they're aesthetically different from most others

full faces are pretty gay and not street at all.

I’d rather wait a couple more months before setting things into motion… it’s barely been a month since this one dropped

That works, I saw a couple different spots to park when I was down last time so I'll find somewhere haha Assuming my friend's coming along, I'll be down for sure.

it's fuckin scary. The park I go to often has a vert wall, I've aired it both ways and double pegged it, but that's about it. never dropped in on it though. I think it's 9ft? not sure. there was another one of similar height at a park nearby that got

I'll more than likely make my way to the premiere, there gonna be a lot of people going? hopefully there will still be some room for me to park at the shop haha. I'm stoked to ride with a good group, and I don't have urbex plans so I can ride the whole ... more »

KHE Bar-Bados- Got it secondhand, probably had a year tops of riding on it before I got it. He put 2 tiny cracks on the gusset cutout design (not on the weld, the gusset had a palm tree cutout and 2 cracks were forming from inside the tree going towards ... more »

Give urbex a chance! It's amazing, and really cool stumbling upon a place that used to be filled with activity and/or people now empty and sometimes it even looks like everyone just abruptly left. I love it. adding to the thread: The other day my friend
