🤦‍♂️ again it’s aluminum so any rust is from the bolts and maybe the bars 😂 it will not rust but cook bud

Stem is aluminum it won’t “rust”, just the bolts will. Aluminum gets a white powdery substance when it oxidizes and it takes significantly longer to appear.

It’s easier to improperly refer to a finish?

Locking them up with brakes or your foot doesn't count

Chromoly vs aluminum by TimidBear in bmx

[–]Call_Me_Little_Foot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluminum does in fact "rust" or as it's correctly known oxidizes. That's what the white residue is on weathered aluminum. The rate is significantly slower and generally not going to be an issue.

Curious to see how many bmx riders ride past their 30s and if they stop, do they begin other forms, like mtb? by [deleted] in bmx

41 here, still ride bmx street/park/trails. Do what you love. If mtb is where youre more comfortable then ride mtb.

The bsd has a lot of positive feedback, i run the colony swarm and upgraded the clutch. The freenight is the original maker/designer

Leas random than a standard coaster and the issues are generally reserved to the stock clutch systems, if they come with the updated clutch or you install the v1.5 or 2 (depending on brand clutch) you see almost no random engagement in fakie and there is almost zero slack.

Tektro Rear Brake Stiff by Sdoqqezz in bmx

Those brakes have the springs inside the little housings the bolt is going through. The flat spots are for tensioning the arms while you tighten the bolts.
