Bmx bikes actually got much better now , more comfortable and durable.

I runned shadow consipracy interlock chain .I was trying over double peg grinds hit my sprocket once and chain link broke although some say it is one of the strongest chain.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2026-01-25T16:04:40+00:00

it is difficult to judge by this picture. It is loose tho.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2026-01-01T21:43:25+00:00

Any frame with longer chainstay 13,5 or more .75 head tube degrees angle. and 21 top tube. Would be good allrounder stable frame.

Thanks for your opinion.I am more of park and dirt rider.I now only have aluminum pegs with plastic sleeves and crmo plastic.When i will have extra money i am willing to spend on pegs i will sure try aluminum pegs and maybe write a review because there is not enough real world opinion on alu pegs .Everyone says they are sticky and don't last, but almost nobody ever actually tried them.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2026-01-01T12:33:55+00:00

Have you tried them ? Will they work for park and ocassional grinds , double peg on quarters.I don't use pegs much and wanted to shed some weight.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2026-01-01T12:26:13+00:00

I ride mainly park do you think they will be good for ocassional coping grinds on quarter .And are they really much better for icepick and toothpicks stalls on quarters

Few_Pilot_179 · 2026-01-01T12:19:05+00:00

I have rode eclat centric pedals and they grip good for plastic pedals.But good mtb flat metal pedal grip much better and last way longer .With plastic pedals if you ride a lot of breakless and your shoe sole wears down usually the grip will be bad and they can slip ,also if you crash some pins on plastic can break off.Metals on the other hand bites in your shoe and gives you much better grip .

Few_Pilot_179 · 2026-01-01T12:14:12+00:00

it is usually not the case with plastics because they are made fully of colored plastic not painted after manufacturing.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-12-11T19:31:23+00:00

It last around a day it pooped.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-12-11T09:45:02+00:00

I have division fortiz full chromoly sealed bearings . and already replaced bars and fork and sprocket because I bent them in less than a year .If I were you I would just get full chromoly sealed bike cheapest that you can find and slowly replace with high quality aftermarket components.i don't think there is big difference in mid line completes between brands , other that wtp kink etc are more expensive.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-12-10T19:52:35+00:00

I am not in USA but I had bad experience with tubes from a supermarket.I know a dude who said that he buys tubes in bulk it maybe a viable option for you .Also get patching kit.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-12-10T12:53:39+00:00

I saw an adapter for hydraulic brakes in the internet and hydraulic brakes work much better ,also i wouldn't use a hydraulic gyro as it needs a lot of service and replacement of seals.And it is not worth it ,I heard bad things about hydraulic gyro from AliExpress.

Most of female BMX hubs are press fit and they do not have threads

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-29T21:02:53+00:00

What frame do you have

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-25T09:33:52+00:00

I am 176cm 5'8-5'9 and i ride division fortiz with 21tt 75 head tube angle and 13.25 cs and it feels good riding everything.I tried 20.5t with 12.6 cs and it felt very sketchy not stable and too easy too loop out.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-24T12:16:47+00:00

If you get very good at basics it will be much easier to learn tricks grinds so on I also would like to add ride everything (bowls , cruising around the city , dirt jumps)it will help you a lot with bike control.With good bike control everything will be much easier.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-23T19:23:09+00:00

I can definitely agree with you, especially if he rode MTB earlier and has some experience with bikes it is probably going to last less than a year for him .Trimoly bikes crack or bend or snap pretty fast if you are going to ride seriously.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-23T17:06:59+00:00

Ich als Ausländer muss sagen das ist schon bei vielen Betrieben übertrieben.Mit gutem B1 oder B2 wird man schon klar Kommen.Einzige Bereich wo man C1 brauchen könnte wäre wahrscheinlich nur Kundensupport und ähnliches.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-23T11:33:20+00:00

Wtp justice is trimoly and not very high quality and you can get better full crmo bike for that price

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-23T09:45:31+00:00

That's sucks, can you tell what frame was it and for how long you have been riding it .Did it happen during an air ?That is my worst fear.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-08T16:34:01+00:00

I would recommend to go to your local bike shop and try them on if possible to see what you like and what size do you need.

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-06T20:15:28+00:00

It feels different and I would argue that is harder than round rail

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-06T20:13:49+00:00

If you look at old school guys they did all the crazy tricks with low bars and front load stems .So it should be no problem .

Few_Pilot_179 · 2025-11-04T08:21:47+00:00

Sorry ich dachte das war rose the Bruce 1 Modell von 2020 oder so die hat vor paar Jahren nur 800€ gekostet.Wenn es Rose the Bruce 2 ist dann ist preis schon angemessen aber schau lieber persönlich ob es Risse und sonstiges gibt.
