I’ve said before, part of the fun in bmx is the infinite number of combinations you can make with all the parts that are available. I’d much rather have a completely unique setup than try to copy someone else’s just because I like it. Colors are easy ... more »

Cky, the T1’s looking good. Curious to see the Sunday.

Thanks, now I’m going to be thinking about rainbows next time I try to hop something.

It's not a big deal with so much information being online these days. I assembled my first 3 cross wheel in short order following along with a how to video. Took me as long to true it as it did to assemble, possibly due to enjoying a few too many adult ... more »

Yup, I’ve always trued my wheels on the bike. I use the brake pads on the back or a wire tie on the fork.

Thanks man. I just need the rain to go away now so I can get our and ride.

Good buy on the Trust. Some really nice components on that one. Be curious to see the paint outside in good light.

Y'all aren't alone. 24's do seem to be less common, but I've seen a decent few out and about. Mine gets used for racing more than cruising, but usually still gets ridden once a week or so. It came with 6" Haro bars as pictured below. It was a less than

Fortyseven, it does pay to keep ahead on maintenance. Sounds like you have a pretty squared away setup. I was doing an easy going little driveway session on the old Aitken today and broke a chain. Lucky for me it happened while I was at home, so I just

I know this feeling all too well. We got saturated this year. Of course now the weather is nice and I can’t help injuring myself. Trying to restrict myself to cruising and not getting overzealous for a bit, but it’s just hard to find the restraint. Might ... more »

Also, nobody who’s spent any time in the bmx world will give you any grief over using a variety of parts and mixing brands. It’s part of customizing your bike to suit your preference. This is why you seldom see two bmx bikes that look the same. It’s ... more »

That’s a pretty common place for having pain. I get sore there sometimes. Usually I attribute it to going overboard with pulling exercises in my workouts, but I could see where riding could cause it as well. It’s not fun to do, but rolling on a lacrosse ... more »

Good info here. Hadn’t heard of some of these. And I’ll peon whatever I want.

I’m just about the same as you, Dan. 5-11 here also. All my frames are/ have been 21 except my race frame which is 21.25. The race frame is comfortable on the dirt, but would be just a little long for anything else.

You cleaned that thing up nice. Came out real cool looking. Should make a fun ride for someone.

^That’s some cool looking concrete work there. Place looks really fun.

Dave, resistance training really helps, and I think is the thing that has ultimately kept me going over the years. I have a knee that tends to swell up any time it gets hit, but luckily is still mobile enough to do squats and the like. I think there ... more »

I wouldn't necessarily take it as hostility, nor being specifically aimed toward you. If a bunch of people buy multiples of the same part, then it will impact the availability of it. I wouldn't think there are people doing that, but I also didn't think ... more »
