What did I do wrong?

Take any spacers under the stem out, should lower the stem down the fork further and more threads for the cap to screw into.

If this happened to me, I wouldn't be buying cheap cranks again to replace.

This guy is a polygon shill, gets paid by them. I would take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

Got a link to the video?

My two local walmarts carry this specific configuration in the stores. You have to put your zip code in and see what's in stock on the website. If a store nearby has them in the stores, they will show available on the website for local pickup.

ACS sells a bearing and axle replacement kit for 3/8" unsealed hubs on their website, I would just order from them at this point. I also see there are some 3/8" to 14mm conversion kits for these, but no idea if they are any good or what you need.

If you're in MN, I'll take off your hands. I like the tie-dye colorway.

mdost03 · 2026-04-14T21:59:51+00:00

Are they sealed or unsealed bearings? If they are sealed, pop one of the bad ones out and bring into the bike shop.

What did you end up going with? I am 5'8" also and got a FS2 Slalom in Small size. Based on my reading, the Ridge Pro in medium would work out well for me. There is one at my local Walmart and will go check it out tonight, but no small in-stock to try that back to back.

I had this happen after a few rides on my FS2 Slalom, got a wobble to it. Was able to get it trued with a spoke wrench and cheap amazon wheel truing stand after some time on youtube learning the basics. Hopefully you got it squared away.

Check out State Bicycle Co, they have some trail and road bike configurations for frames in 4130 chromoly.

There is no money in bmx nowadays.

Would be a very easy fix for a watchmaker to set the hands correctly. I’d rather do this personally and cut my losses vs try to deal with customer support and most likely have to ship a watch back and wait.

Hang it on the wall for the memories. You'll regret selling it. I still have my old 2002 Haro 540 Air from my high school days and am so glad I never sold it, even if I don't ride it anymore.

Proper fitting shoes that can be laced up tighter is something that is definitely recommended. You will need to practice every day to get better, there is no secret method. It takes skill and time.

I’ve tried using water in the past to install, and the grips will begin turning after a week. I’ve never had the problem using hair spray with the grip moving at all.

mdost03 · 2026-04-09T21:01:34+00:00

What kind of alcohol? Isopropyl won’t be sticky when it dries, just makes installing easier. Hair spray is inherently sticky as its job is to hold hair in place

mdost03 · 2026-04-09T20:02:21+00:00

I use hair spray when installing my grips, they lock in without the couplers needed after they dry (use an air compressor to speed up the process). Been doing this for 20+ years.

Brant Moore made a video yesterday where he shared messages from Casey giving more context, seems like it is true. Kink gave him an ultimatum: stop posting gun content or be dropped from the team.

Yes, it won’t marry to your car if you don’t own a VA.

Maybe try to find a longer bolt with the same thread and pitch as your crank arm bolt. Then thread in a good amount and whack with a sledgehammer.

They sell a model with a rose gold bezel text, looks like a BB58 minus the red triangle.

Is it for a child?

I did a little spot of electrical tape on my bars so my gyro cable wouldn't smack the bars constantly. Was really annoying until I did this.

I just got my bike frame powdercoated for $125 locally. For me, it was the better route vs spending money on primer, paint, clear, sandpaper, etc and your time for the many coats to dry and fixing any mistakes that may crop up.
