This is the most underrated content on KZread. Thanks for making my weeks better guys!!
My 9 yr old is a BMX-ER. Dude…I am the mom Mechanic and I couldn’t do it without ya. This video is so helpful. Thanks! Can’t wait to drop on one day…
You're one of the only consistent BMX channels on KZread. I love your content but as a racer, it would be AMAZING to see you build a race bike, or even talk about them more for other people out there. I know I'm asking alot since its not your forte, but you're one of the best. So it'd be cool.
I do not miss the mid school days as a broke teen having to ride an American unsealed bb. Shits were annoying af.

Yeah I just switched my kink curb to sealed BB best decision I ever made
I did this to my wife’s bike. Such a fun project.

i read that wrong for a sec 😮 you did what to your wife 😳🤔🤦🏼🤣
I did this to one of my old bikes, it had open bearings and every time it broke I’d take it to the shop then I wouldn’t see my bike for over a month, then my friend upgraded his bottom bracket so he gave me his old sealed bearings and cranks and never again did I go to the bike shop, plus they went out of business
I had a kink curb. I do not miss that bottom bracket at all man. Funny thing is, I managed it without all those tools he used in the video. I did it all with a wrench, allen keys and a flathead.

Yes to the beach cruiser thing at the end

Thanks man this helped me a lot I got confused a lot but I worked my way through it
Yes on the Klunker. Threadless fork conversion would be cool too.
Love the video. Very helpful
Great video i was fixing an 50 year old bike ans i was in the same stage, thank you master PHU!
Thanks for the information!
Having a conversation about lube with Charles Dera. That's like the shop's name it's "epic". He could probably teach you more about lube than a lube salesman lol
I LITTEREALY NEEDED THIS
After building my dream bike I got to continue my hobby with building my wife bike. There's this rush with building up a bike.
Just did this mod to my #kinkbmx #curb2020bmx. Shaves like a pound of weight & improved the ride. Definitely worth the work & $$.
Phu, I Hope you're getting paid for producing all this content. Thanks for the BMX build info.
Been waiting all day. Almost messaged to ask if your 👌

Yo Phu thank you so much for these videos. I'm just getting back in to BMX and freestyle bikes. Your videos are so helpful and insightful. So I need to get a more modern crank set correct for this to work on my 1991 Schwinn Predator Mag?
Great vid. 🔥🔥
That's really cool!🔥
Great video ! Yes do it on a one piece crank please !!
Sick tips!
This is what I was finding ❤❤
Powerful content!
Finally I can convert my BB. Mines being doing weird things for awhile now and I’ve had no idea what to do.

I. Rely. Like it it. Helps me alot. with. My. Bike nowe I. Can go. Riding. Witout problems your the. Best.
I actually in like 4th grade blew up the bottom bracket in my mongoose it was a Walmart bike but damn for being in 4th grade did I put that bike through the ringer and it was a full size 20 incher
Always wanted to do this to my mongoose. Also, would you guys be interested in doing a sealed headset conversion? My mongoose has cups on the frame where the fork and headset goes. I think they can pop out like the bottom bracket.
Perfect timing

@@IamdanimalFg4 it's all part of the learning process! I'd rather have someone tell me what I did wrong than completely ruin something I just spent some hard earned money on. I'm pretty mechanically inclined when it comes to bikes, but I still have a lot to learn. Out of EVERYTHING on a bike I hate doing, the worst for me is chain tension and wheel alignment... I'm awful at it, it takes me forever, and I end up swearing up a storm at my bike, lol!

So I followed the steps from this but my sprocket is moving in like a wavy motion is that good or bad and how do I fix it
I noticed the spacer still on the workbench after the new. spindle was inserted, i'm guessing absolutely NO ONE uses those things huh ? LOL

I have 1 question. I am a new biker looking into getting BMX bike. Is the Kink Curb a good bike? I think I'll have this conversion done at the bike shop when I buy it
Is the cup and bearing separate?
