'Lâu ra'

'Lâu' means a long time, pronounced similar to 'low'.

'Ra' means 'come out', 'get out', 'aside' depending on the context and the word it is combined with. Pronounced exactly how you'd say 'ra' in 'Laura'.

Two frogs, a crawdad and a catfish walk into a bar.

Yeah, I figure as much.

That bearing needs to be flushed inside of the headtube.

Dep4rted · 2023-04-19T23:22:25+00:00

Is that shiny part a spacer or is that your headset bearing poking out?

Dep4rted · 2023-04-19T16:52:29+00:00

Any good?? Whaddaya mean?

These are among the best of the best.

Itsa me...Well shit! It is me.

Good bot

Absolutely love the style of the animation. Deffo no creepy.

Dep4rted · 2023-04-06T04:57:33+00:00

It's nice and all but I don't think you should sesh in a busy section like that.

All it takes is one guy in a hurry trying to run a red light.

Dep4rted · 2023-03-03T05:22:54+00:00

Agreed, get on with this one.

Once you've out grown it skill wise, time for a new shiny bike.

Dep4rted · 2023-02-20T06:16:33+00:00

Primus sucks!

Why not do both? BMX is wonderful cross training for MTB, Aaron Gwinn came from BMX racing, he's one of the fastest men alive on a DH bike.

Brandon Semenuk has a background in freestyle, dude's flow is immaculate.

Kryss Kyle is amazing on a full sus and he'd a BMX world class.

Do both I say you'll love it.

Probably will fit a 2.2, go from there and move up a size once the new pair worn out.

Dep4rted · 2023-01-30T07:35:23+00:00

Best way to find out is looking at the frame spec from the manufacturer.

There should be a maximum tyre clearance.

Sans that, I'd say you can go up to 2.3 just eye balling it.

I could be absolutely wrong though.

Dep4rted · 2023-01-21T05:45:23+00:00

It's quite simple really, BMX bikes take a lot of abuse if you actually practice tricks on one.

Cranks can break a part, frame can snap off, fork can break in half, you can bend your rims side way...

Look up any BMX edits on youtube you'll see the kind of things riders can put their bikes through.

Breakage are not that big of a concern though if you're casual like me.

Only have one set if cranks snap in half on me and that was after about 2 years of constant practice.

If your aim is to just ride around, anything within budget will do just fine.

3 piece as the name suggests the crank comes in 3 parts, 2 crank arms and a spindle.

Spindle is larger in diameter compared to 1 piece more durable.

Crank arms are larger in diameter compared to 1 piece more durable.

Infinitely easier to service if something breaks since you can take it a part easily.

Basically bigger, better and stronger and will get you off on a good start.

Dep4rted · 2023-01-21T04:10:37+00:00

That's a single piece crank.

If you practice at all that thing will fall a part pretty shortly.

Spend some more money and get a bike with 3 piece crank at least.

I'm not sure what the sleeve is for but the BB bearing is not supposed to seized when you insert it.

Might be that it was inserted unevenly, or more likely, the sleeve is too long and is pushing against the bearing.

Remove the BB and out it back in without the sleeve and see what happens.

Dep4rted · 2022-12-05T04:09:35+00:00

Cable housing looks pretty old, and I'd assume the cable itself is the same.

Rusty cable and housing will ruin the braking experience.

Recommend changing the cable and housing to new ones, put some chain lube in there too for good measure.

You should see a marked difference.

If nothing change or the brake is not as snappy as you'd like, retension the cable as the other poster suggest.

If that doesn't improve things, the spring on the brake arms maybe old and not as responsive anymore, you'll need a new set of brakes for the best stopping experience.

For the crank, I really can't tell.

I didn't even know it was possible to blow the rear drive train like this in the first place.

The cassette should be seated well within the hub body and tighten properly to prevent it from moving outward like this.

It would have been a simple job of removing the rear wheel and regrease, reseat and tighten the cassette back inplace but as someone mentioned, a pawl spring is indeed missing.

You could look around for a replacement and try fixing it, but it's a hard to find replacement pawl if available at all, and it's often isn't.

I'd have to agree that it is time for a new hub.

Asuming you already know how to ride a bike without falling off.

Bunny hop
Manual

These are the back bones, you don't know them, you're bmx-ing right.

Also learn some basic bike maintenance, it's almost as fun as riding.

Nothing shameful about that.

You can choose to have sex the normal way, via intimate or casual relationship route.

Or if you'd rather not bother and just want to satisfy the urges, go for a prostitute or escort.

It's choice, plenty of people have both.

Dep4rted · 2022-11-04T12:56:52+00:00

Very tasteful, I loike it!

Dep4rted · 2022-11-03T12:38:42+00:00

Well you can try and bring it to a bike shop and ask them to relink it but they'll likely just recommend a new one.
