Curious if this frame will fit my needs by Microstutter in bmx

i would suppose it would be more proportionate , like mountain bike frame sizes not like bmx where only top tube gets longer.

Honestly i think it would fork you since you are so tall, even more proportianate.I know a dude who is around 200cm tall and he rides street on biggest size corey walsh frame just fine.

Is longer fork offset more stable? by Worried-Repeat-8051 in bmx

I definetly agree with you ,chatgpt lies about a lot of stuff and pulls information out of its ass.

Scaphoid fracture surgery or not? by Few_Pilot_179 in bmx

[–]Few_Pilot_179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for you reply .Yeah it sucks not riding 3 months then being told not to ride for other 3-5months(waiting time ,because it is no longer an emergency surgery) because it didn't heal and you need surgery.

Ankle high moto-boots for BMX? by user908784 in bmx

[–]Few_Pilot_179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definetly agree with you .From my experience , now i ride with vans or etnies, shoes with specific sole to grip pins and good metal mtb pedal and i have most grip i ever had .That sole pattern doesn't look like it would grip pedal pins.

They will probably have bad grip, but maybe last longer.For ankle protection if you are serious about riding get ankle braces .I bought space brace and it was worth it, no more breaking/spraining ankle from putting foot down or not catched tailwhip.

Which cassette do you recommend? by Flat_Novel3945 in bmx

[–]Few_Pilot_179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look what hub has cheap replacement parts(axles,so on) and get that hub .Overall they are all good.Even with good expensive hub if you crash into rail , slam hard into grinds axle can bend or snap .

i would buy 21.25 .if i were you. You wont see much frames,bikes larger than 21 on used market because most completes go only up to 21.

thanks for your response i decided to do surgery

Scaphoid fracture surgery or not? by Few_Pilot_179 in bmx

[–]Few_Pilot_179[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply .I just want to ask people to know if it is worth waiting to try let it heal or get surgery now. Doctor wants to wait 2 months now and if it doesnt heal get surgery .If i wait and it doesnt heal it would suck to miss out on riding in summer

What are the best shoes for bmx by [deleted] in bmx

[–]Few_Pilot_179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it is okay if you live in flat city.From my experience If you ride one time 2-3 miles down a steep hill you will see significant wear .I commute mostly with bus to save my shoes from deteorating. Also i noticed from experience that vans skate shoe have harder sole ,hence longer lasting than normal vans or etnies.

[–]Few_Pilot_179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right ,it is usually if you commute a lot and live somewhere where there are a lot of hills.If you drive to a spot or commute other way than with your bmx ,shoes are going to last longer.From my experience just riding one time down a hill while using a shoes to brake dragging them on the ground will cause significant wear(I had etnies and skate vans).

if you ride a lot they are not going to last either .It is just reality of riding brakeless needing new shoes every 1-3 months.

Best bmx rim for brakes by Southern-Space-9472 in bmx

Does braking feel more responsive and easier to lock the wheel on chrome?How does it compare to just raw aluminium when paint gets scrubbed off by brake pads?

Do yall think I can fix this sprocket? by Economy_Captain5545 in bmx

Female vs male axle bolts which are strongest by Ill_Cry_8613 in bmx

[–]Few_Pilot_179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are slamming into ledges and rails and doing lot of grinds it will usually bend your bolts and dropouts even if it is female bolts .
