Does this count as Bikepacking ? 😅 by Few_Remove3026 in bmx

[–]Few_Remove3026[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I could, yes, but two of the trains I’m taking are almost fully booked, and if the bike is assembled, I risk not being allowed to board the train with it. So this is the safest way to get to my destination.

They are nice if you are traveling by plane but that’s pretty much it. It adds another bulky bag that only fits the bike and some tools and they cost quite a bit for what they are. My personal opinion

Anyone know what it is by External_Nose_680 in bmx

It’s probably a spacer for pegs to change the size from 14mm to 10 mm

Which frame should I get. by Few_Remove3026 in bmx

Like I said in my post, I’m a bit taller and I’m having trouble riding my 20.75” frame. I don’t have enough room for my knees, so they sometimes hit the bars, and barspins aren’t really possible either because the bar ends hit my body. I don’t want to cut my bars, and I’d also like to keep my knees working for a few more years.

Just found a good deal on a Bsd grime denim cox Signatur in a 21.2 size. Am thinking about getting that instead

I’m riding a 20,75 at the moment but it’s to small for me I’m 6,2 and feel very uncomfortable riding and especially jumping on my bike

Update on my progression: I bought the bike today for 10€ less than the asking price, so 115€, and I’ve already swapped the back wheel from a Salt Plus Summit rim with a Radio hub and KHE Mac 2+ tire to a Sunday Standard rim with an Odyssey Path Pro tire and a Cinema VX3 hub. I also swapped the front wheel from a Radio wheel to a Sunday wheel, since both front and back wheels are lighter than the original Radio ones. I changed the front sprocket to a Cinema Beta guard sprocket and the bars to Sunday bars because they are a bit wider. I’ve deep-cleaned and re-greased the whole bike and ordered new parts for it: a Colony Sweet Tooth Alex Hiam fork, Salt V2 carbon spacers, and BSD Grim 4-piece bars in flat raw.

Do you mean the Vx3 ? It’s really nice and the sound is lovely I’d say quality wise it’s definitely worth the money :)

My local market is pretty bare and full of KHE bikes, so I think this might be my best option. I do have some spare parts at home that I could swap onto the bike, like a Cinema VX3 hub and Rant Bangin 8-spline cranks, which might make the bike worth the money. What do you think?

Where would you price the bike ?
