2014 Eastern Bikes Cobra

“My new main”

2014 Eastern Bikes Cobra

The Good:

This is a really good BMX. I haven’t had any problems with it so far.

The Bad:

The only bad thing in my opinion are the axles. 1 of them is 14 mm (rear) and I’m pretty sure the front one is 10 mm. And another thing about the axles is they are pretty short and you will need to buy new ones to put pegs on.

Overall Review: This in my opinion is very good I will make a few changes but aside from that it’s amazing.

Cult Vans X Cult Tire

“Not worth the money ”

Cult Vans X Cult  Tire

The Good:

Good Advertising…

The Bad:

Rubber too soft, Weak bead

Overall Review: Its been 2 months since I bought a set of the Cult x Vans waffle tyres, I’ve used them for less than 100hrs (street riding) they are both in a rough shape. Currently riding a set of Odyssey Path Pro’s in the 2.4” has been great so far. rear- unusable, cased a curb and broke the bead wire as well as as the bead wire. After taking it off twice the threads have started to show. front- has become mushy but is still usable, reason being because it’s in the front.

2013 WeThePeople Versus Bike

“Frame turning 10 years old next year.”

2013 WeThePeople Versus Bike

The Good:

Good geomatry on frame for medium sized people.
Really strong (main) parts!
Easy to mod/add new parts on

The Bad:

Cant think of any!

Overall Review: I bought this complete bike used off a friend. He didnt ride it, doing tricks, he just used it to pedal around town, so it was a very good deal, for an almost "unused" bike. The only OG parts remaining on the bike: is the frame, stem, and crankarms. Everything else, I've changed over time, trying different sizes, brands, and models etc. Right now, it is actually just as I want it! - The more I dream of a new frame, the more I've been measuring on this frame from WTP, and its so small digits in difference, that I still havnt bought a new frame to this date. I myself have seshed this bike A LOT, in ALL sorts of weather, and Read More »

Demolition RotatoR V2

“Good hub great longevity”

Demolition RotatoR V2

The Good:

I got mine 2nd hand about 4 years ago, I do no maintenance whatsoever and a lot of missed 180's and such, and there's still no play in the bearings or any defect.

The Bad:

Nothing.
Changed the driver due to the teeth being machines by a full link chain and making too much noise with my new half-link, and the noise hasn't reappeared since.

Overall Review: I'm totally satisfied with my purchase, good work demolition, will upgrade to rotator v4 when I change my backwheel.

Eastern Bikes Throttle Front Load Stem

“FIRST FRONT LOAD I HAVE ACTUALLY LIKED”

Eastern Bikes Throttle Front Load Stem

The Good:

They were great when I was running 8 inch rise bars how soon as I put bigger bars on there then I felt like I was riding with ape hangers

The Bad:

I put 9.25" rise Eastern throttle bars on there and it was too high for me I didn't feel like I had any control over the bike so I decided to switch back to a bottom Stone which I'm getting ready to order right now

Overall Review: Great stem, can't beat it for the price but don't order it if you're not used to riding a front load stem or you ride really high bars. The higher your bars are the higher it'll be to get off the ground. When I switch back to a top stem I could bunny hop even higher than I could before so that's where I'm going to buy a top load. I do recommend this product I do recommend this company and their quality bikes and I'll buy from these guys anytime.

2015 Fit Aitken 2 Bike

“2015 FITBIKECO Aitken 2 BMX Review”

2015 Fit Aitken 2 Bike

The Good:

21in top tube so it's great for us taller/larger riders. Double wall cassette rear wheel so it can take some punishment and the trans gold is badass. The bike rides smooth as f*ck!

The Bad:

No double wall front wheel and not much after that other than the decals which seem to be a throwback old-school mongoose style which are kinda hideous but who really cares since they can be replaced.

Overall Review: Bottom line is this BMX is one of the finest bikes 

2010 Verde Vex

“The bike is great (purchased used from CRAIGS)”

2010 Verde Vex

The Good:

The frame is awesome (reinforced gussets)

The Bad:

wheels / forks

Overall Review: I bought this bike used on CRAIGS List. The bike was rode hard, but still pretty much intact.  The front forks were bent, so just ended up getting new forks for DANSCOMP.  The geometry is great.  The bike has a 20.25 TT.  The GOOD: FRAM is solid.  The frame has reinforced gusset which makes the frame very solid.  Never flexed, creek, or gave me any issues.  I’m 280 and it handled me very well.  The best part of this bike is the Frame.  Bars are ok, but frame was very solid!  The orig wheels were terrible.  (I replaced with double walled from DansComp) Forks were weak, (bought used and forks were bent, I replaced from DansComp

2012 Eastern Bikes Traildigger Bike

“Not that good”

2012 Eastern Bikes Traildigger Bike

The Good:

The Bad:

Right after I started sending tailwhips it cracked

Overall Review: It's a ok bike but it cracked way to easy

Animal Kotulak Multi Tool

“Best Multi Tool you can get!”

Animal Kotulak Multi Tool

The Good:

Everything! But 1 thing for me

The Bad:

Can be kind of annoying carrying around without a backpack.

Overall Review: Ok so I’ve been testing these multi tools lately. This one is one of the top 3 I used. I know the shadow tools chain breaker works on half link chains. And I think it works specifically with their chains. The animals chain breaker is great. And if you need another pin in case you “mushroom” the one you have, just contact customer service and they will send you another one. The customer service is awesome. Overall this tool is number 2 on my list. I’m still lookin go for that 1 spot. 

Animal Mike Hoder 710 by KMC Chain

“Great Chain! ”

Animal Mike Hoder 710 by KMC Chain

The Good:

Strong, Durable, Comes with halflink preinstalled, easy to install, Heat Treated, Style, etc..

The Bad:

Only is currently offered in 1 Color!!

Overall Review: This chain is basically the KMC 710. Which I own as well. They are great chains. I’m not a half-link type person. So this chain is perfect for me. Way stronger than the 410 and the 510. It’s not that heavy. Some might think it is. But overall it’s a great chain. I just wish you could get different colors. What I think could be the difference in this chain vs. the KMC 710 is the Hoder chain is stamped with animal logos, it’s heat treated to make it stronger, and that’s about it. I have never broken a 710 or this chain. I’m a bigger guy and I ride hard sometimes. So if your looking for a reliable and strong chain. Go with this!!!
