So I finished putting together my bike. I am pleased with this setup and want to thank the people that helped me make my choice.
I got mine configured in lhd and a free coaster. If you get this kit ya can choose any configuration you want.
Kit came with 4 pegs. I'm only running 2.

Will do. Hoping it holds up to some decent abuse. Plan on hitting the park tonight

I'm a fan. Had I not snagged up my Radio last year, I would run one of those.

I like the color! It looks great! And it seems like a great build kit too! The only thing I don't like is the male front axle.... but what ever it's not that big if a deal... usually the first bigger part that you replace on complete bikes are the wheels anyway, but I'm sure it'll still hold up fine!
I don't crash, I do random gravity checks...

Sweet build! This is the one you basically stole right? I seem to remember someone posting about this colorway and getting a really sick deal.
Either way, for a person that prefers simple bikes with simple color schemes, I kinda really love the way that looks. So unique.

Thanks, hopefully the front holds up for a while. Not all too worried about it though if I do bend an axle. Just hope it later rather then sooner.

Weighing in at 26.4 lbs with 2 pegs according to my bathroom scale.

That is a killer looking bike. I would like to see this with all chrome parts and white tires.

Would lacing up a new female axle hub be a straight swap or would you need to buy new spokes? I've never laced up wheels. Are all BMX 20" wheels like a standard spoke size?

The hubs should be close to the same size. Check the hub diameter of the hub you have and the one you want to use and compare. You should be ok though honestly most front hubs are pretty close in size.

Male axles aren't that bad though unless you are really hard on them ..female is only slightly better but it's really mostly if you grind a lot
