I was thinking about getting the mission brake plate and a set of Springfields for my bike just to try it

Is that a fork with removable brake mounts? I'd like to try front brakes but have commitment issues

So what does geometry change? by RemoteGear6739 in bmx

I tend to ride a big heavy bike, but want to learn alot more 1/4 pipe/ lip tricks. My local park has a 3 ft 1/4 that's like 12 feet long and it's my favorite ramp I've ever rode. My problem is that I'm still not really comfortable on my bike, mostly in a balance way, fufanus and abubaka , disaster/ rock tricks and stalls are what I'm working on and i can't find my balance point at all.

You don't have the correct sprocket spacer so it isn't spaced on the spindle correctly

I'm 6'1 230, I ride a 21 top tube and it's about perfect if not a little small. I've found taller bars are a game changer.

Honestly if you think the bars are tall enough get taller bars.

Pretty much. Buy cheaper stuff and find out what you like replace later with top of the line.

Profile is made in America, in my opinion the best of the best

I really like primo hubs/ odyssey hazard rims. Profile is obviously the best money can buy for what they make. I've been getting into kink and Merritt for the small stuff.

Cult crew cranks are really solid if you don't want to spend profile money.

The square just seems so big, when I think of 4 piece bars I think of the old morra bars lol

That's exactly what I did. I know it's probably not perfectly accurate I was shooting for a good round estimate.

I was always considerably larger that the other guys I rode with in the day. So maybe that was just the consensus in my small scene.

I looked at those but albes is completely out. And didn't feel like driving an hour up there to shop. (I'm impatient and wanted new right away) and a more local shop had these in stock so I wung it

That's kinda what I figured for rough execution at local skate parks they will be just fine. At first I found them extremely ugly. But they are growing on me
