I have a pretty high end BMX and I want to get something decent quality but cheap enough to that if I don't like it? I won't be out a ton. And bikes in this area?! Thanks. I love your content

useful thing for newbie
surprised not to see chainring centering/locating the tight spot to coincide with your usual track stand stance.
that half link chain link is a great idea i will try it by my self thanks dude....
If you have 3-piece bmx cranks and do maintenance on them: keep the sprocket on the axle exactly where it was before. I learned this just recently but if you remove it and replace it arbitrarily, it will start to creak and develop play. It will anyways but keeping the sprocket in the same spot on the axle will help it last longer.

Hi I hope maybe someone sees and can help, I have bikes that are like 56cm and while I can ride them fine it feels like the bars are too lor for my comfort. I have an ebike single speed and it is a 58 and feels PERFECT, do I just need a bigger bike or is 56 good for tricks I am 6'2/6'1
does a smaller frame make things easier?

You got any tips to skid on bikes with high ratios like 3.7, 3.8 without straps and clipless pedals? Im struggling so hard tryna learn it rn
@sebastiancoolidge2401
2 жыл бұрын
Get straps or go clipless, also learn it on a lower ratio first. Skid stops without foot retention are nearly impossible at those ratios just because you can’t get the torque necessary

*+TIP FOR CHAIN* from my opinion... problably if you will start doing tricks you'll change your bike crown and maybe even your sprocket, so think about chain lenght when you change it...anyway try avoiding chains alternations cause it feels weird on your pedal feelings.... this like real picky fixed gear bikers
Are single speed riders welcome here?? I don't do fixed gear anymore,too old! 😆😁

that’s fairly high for tricks and you don’t have too many skis patches. I also like going for bigger cogs and chainrings so they don’t wear as quick.
