    39/17 on a 2013 DK Sentry 24". Perfect gearing for just pleasure-cruisin' and riding to work. Easy start with pretty good flatland sprint.

    Thanks. She is rinding a Pro sized frame with 170mm cranks. We had her on an ExpertXL and that bike got to be way too small so we changed to this pro size frame. Ideally we would have some shorter bars on the bike, but we just flipped her stem to see how that goes for her. In the end she's having fun riding her bike so I just leave it alone.

    Three months down the line, how are you getting on with the new gearing?

  • @TheDriveTrain
    @TheDriveTrain9 күн бұрын

    Great question. The 20" feels really good and I have a bunch of drive coming out of turns... meaning I don't feel like I'm spun out. This was the goal and it is certainly working. My cruiser feels better than it did (for sure) going from a 41 to a 42.2, but it still spins pretty quick and I could potentially stand to make an adjustment up front to a 43. I don't have anyone in my actual cruiser class for the state so it's hard to justify continuing to make changes right now.

  • @mickrichBMXWRXJapan

    Good to hear! Was also going to ask about the decimal gear and how you're getting on with that. Like you (I think), I don't quite understand all of the science behind it but I'm curious to try one out.

  • @TheDriveTrain
    @TheDriveTrain7 күн бұрын

    Getting the gears at a discount made it worth me trying. My 20" really does feel nice with the 46.9/17. The way I understand it is the gear would spin like a 46/17, but have extra rollout similar to a 47. I get lost somewhere in the science, but what I feel is I'm pretty quick out of the gate and still have some drive out of the turns.

    wait... like 47/8? or 47.8/16? I'm running a 46.9/17 on my 20", but if you were rolling a 47 in the front and an 8 in the back you must have some massive legs.

    Mines being delivered anytime today. Amazon $415. But somehow at checkout I have points or something, so only $350. Now you got me scared. I’m gonna google that electric starter right now. I’m 49 and last year was my first race since 87. I did horrible, couldn’t balance on the gate and my old Mach 1 wasn’t designed for the new massive jumps not to mention I was smoking. So gonna give it another shot this year. New haro blackout pro xl, no smoking and gonna just practice balancing on the gate in my living room watching your videos on the tv 😂

    Man, that's awesome. The Fresh Park is a great tool to get started and work on balance. The extra unit I have is made by YellowCat BMX and it's called "The Snap". When you want to practice properly just like at your track, this is a must add-on. I'm proud of you for stopping the smoking and committing to a new ride. The old school stuff is cool, but you'll feel more stable on the new geometry Haro.

    I bought the actual gate used from a friend, but you can purchase the gate at Freshpark. The light system is made by YellowCatBMX and is designed specifically to attach to this Freshpark gate. In the end this combination is the least expensive solution to a portable gate with magnetic release on a hardware based random gate setup.

  • @BackyardBMX73
    @BackyardBMX73Ай бұрын

    Some constructive criticism for ya. Gate starts can be broken down into different movements. Pull bars back, move hips forward, mash front pedal. They are distinctly different movements, but happen almost simultaneously by those that have them nailed. To me, it looks like your first motion is mashing the pedal. I say this, because your body moves up before going forward. Don't concentrate so much on mashing the pedal. Instead, make your first movement be pulling the bars back (not up, but back). Then hips forward. Then mash the pedal. If you watch pros or elites, their first movement is pulling the bars. They have it nailed, so it's very fluid. Keep in mind I'm no expert with gates, but I can see what's happening with yours. It's much easier to see what others aren't doing correctly than to do them correctly yourself. You'd be able to pick my gates apart as well. I will say that I love your determination and have no doubt you'll get it. Keep bringing us along on the journey, cause it helps all of us that are trying to get better gates.
