Beginner BMX

everyone has to start out somewhere id say ride it until it breaks instead of putting money into it but thats just me also aitkens are sweet

You got a good bike for the price in my opinion. As most people say just replace it as it breaks. But get a new seat. that thing is uuuuugly. This seat Looks good

Haha okay, I guess I'll go by if it breaks..lol.


That seat will fit on the bike right?

yeah it should id be surprised if it did not

K. I just don't want to order something and have it not fit. Would be kinda awkward.

lol ive had that happen to me before its a real bummer be careful with the aitkens though 2.25 can be pretty big inflated with some tires and might not fit your forks

I already looked around and asked the guys over at House, they said it works fine. I'm hoping, because if not I'm sending it back. Lol.

Also, I will order that seat if I totally hate the seat it comes with. Lol.

its a good thing you checked also since your on a budget you might be able to get a better deal on parts by buying them used either online or by going to your local skatepark and asking around but thats up to you to do i've heard of some people getting screwed over buying used but i find its a good way to go when short on cash

If you go on danscom right now, youbcan get a subrosa stem for about 36 dollars, and it is a good one to. But if I were you, I would do this and get these two things right off the bat.

You'll change everything over time.

tires,seat, wheels

What color did you get? And keep your current tires. Tires Do not last. They'll get replaced at some point.

Why on earth would he get a new stem? If I had that Bike it would probably be the last thing I'd replace.

Good part, good deal. Thats how I usually upgrade. If something breaks but is still useable, I wont replace it until I find a good deal an a new part. But it is s pretty random part. A more sensible part to replace would be a back wheel.

Especially a front load for a front load. It's a negative move. He gains nothing, but loses the cost of the stem.

Yeah I get what you mean. I usually go by 'If it isn't broken, don't fix it' haha.

Eh, my bike is going to shit. I took it to key west for a week, now it has rust, EVERYWHERE. I could use a new stem because of it. The threads in one of the holes rusted and came off. Only three bolts in it now.

I bought that seat you posted and some shadow pedals. My buddy has the same pedals and they feel awesome.

As for the stem, if I feel I need it, I'll buy it. I've already spent too much. I just hope the front tire and the seat fits, it's driving me crazy.

Thanks again for all the help, the response time on here is AWESOME.

I'm 100% certain that Seat will fit and 99% sure the Tyre will.
