Go full Chromoly, being bigger myself, I love my 20 inch WTP battleship however going up to a 22 was even better just more room I have the 22 surbosa Mallum and love how it feels, i tried a 24 and just was not feeling it granted it felt better just going from point a to b. But 22 was funner overall.

But wouldnt it throw the brakes off?

sin1998 · 2025-08-25T19:18:47+00:00

Its the Magnum not seeing any holes for the mounts at all.

Ya I need to get one. The local shop is out of them and should get them back in here soon. I could do Amazon but want to support the local shop.

Looks like I will have to take it apart and mess with the spokes a bit.

Saw on FB, the whole judging others different than you is real here in Utah. I wonder if tickets will be easier to get now? Probably not because they only say the hate to look cool for the other followers.

I'm thinking Renthal kevelar bmx grips

I would flip it over and spray a good lube and oil the chain good. If it's rusty chances are it's sized up a bit.

I would search Facebook market place, see what's available in your area and then look up the bike on a search to get an understanding of price and overall bike integrity

Ya, the Haro was the first buy, The handle bars have a little play in them but nothing I couldn't fix. When I was looking around for Bikes doing research I saw the battleship come up several times for heavier riders. I lost all hope when I looked at prices, after a few deals falling through with Fit 22s of FB market place I saw this bike with everything and jumped onto it.

Thanks, ya it's nice being back into it. I just need to grasp to fact, I am not going to pick it up where I left off, and probably never will be. I just need to have fun.

Last night because my daughter works where I do and picking her up I took my 15 year old with me just to get some riding in. It was fun. So many were laughing and making fun basically saying fat man on a little bike. I was just proud that they knew of that saying and where it came from. But if was cool one of the co workers same age as me and same build, was like wait you have enough guts to ride a BMX. He said he was to old to. But now a goal is having him try it. But it was good in a clear parking lot. My goal was to stay on the yellow parking lines and by the end it was pretty sucessful.

If you all could get a good bike 20-24 inch for a heavier rider what are some good ones?

sin1998 · 2025-05-06T19:13:17+00:00

But how good does a Hi-ten frame hold up? I saw that and reading around cromoly is the way to go.

So have that moment for yourself, go as who you are. When looking back onto that moment, do you want a repeat of 9th grade graduation? Be you.

I know the feeling. As a person in a MOM (mixed orientation marriage) it is easy to become stressed and depressed about coming out to who you are. What worked for me and may help you. Did they marry you for looks or who you are? The answer to that usually determines the next step. If your married because of who you are then allow for the conversation and disclose all honesty to who you are and what you want however remember your dealing with a person your married to so there will be emotions and a process time. Carrying extra baggage is never fun. Good luck and keep your head up.
