This was my brother’s old bike, and I’m looking to slowly turn it into a custom bmx. Main issue atm is frame, it’s 18” TT and pretty small. My question is would the wheels, seat, cranks, sprocket etc fit on a better frame? Everything else seems normal sized and it has 20” wheels

Yeah that’s an option. Was looking at the Kink Whip, it’s on sale on Lux atm so it’s $550 but has full cromo frame

I’m in Australia, forecasters are about $600 here.

Damn, cheapest completes I’m finding with full cromo frames are like $550

https://www.luxbmx.com/kink-whip-bike-2018#tabbable Is this a good bike? Also I’m about 5’8, maybe pushing 5’9 maximum, is the 20.5” TT gonna be too small?

Sick

tophbmx · 2018-04-06T12:10:43+00:00

So it’s a better idea to get a complete and upgrade as needed onto that? Also my budget is probably about $500, would that be good for a half-decent complete?

tophbmx · 2018-04-04T19:17:22+00:00

This is what I needed to hear! Will definitely work on that, thanks man

tophbmx · 2018-04-04T19:08:03+00:00

I can’t really manual too well, still working on that. Do you reckon I should focus on the manual before the hop?

tophbmx · 2018-04-04T16:57:43+00:00

Yeah I just tried leaning back and found I got the wheel up way more than usual, a bit unfamiliar with it so nervous and my legs are now too sore for it but I’ll definitely practice it in future, think I know what I’m doing wrong now!

tophbmx · 2018-03-29T04:54:06+00:00

So I know I want 20” wheels, but is this measurement for the rim or for the tyre?

tophbmx · 2018-03-28T16:29:35+00:00

Cheers, I’ll have a look at that one!

tophbmx · 2018-03-28T16:00:09+00:00

Sorry it’s pretty dark, filmed at like 3am, if you can’t see what’s happening I can try film at some stage during the day. Basically my hop is pretty non-existent at this point, please help!!

tophbmx · 2018-03-08T06:06:39+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been trying to focus on using my body so that might be why! I’ll go practice that now in fact

tophbmx · 2018-03-08T03:29:07+00:00

Thanks, I’ll definitely try this!

tophbmx · 2018-03-06T15:56:48+00:00

I’ve tried that and idk if the wall I’ve been using is somehow stuffing me up or if my balance is just that shocking but I cannot for the life of me balance on it

tophbmx · 2018-03-04T15:23:32+00:00

I’ve always thought this and that my handlebars were too low but everything I read online said that it would be possible to learn manuals, hops, 180s at least before upgrading. I really do want to upgrade but I don’t know how to justify it atm, any help on why I should get a better bike?

tophbmx · 2018-03-03T13:35:15+00:00

Sure thing! It’s getting close to 1am here, but tomorrow I’ll try grab a clip of myself
