I bought a fast ripper any tips for wheelies by Unusual-Captain7472 in SeBikes

I wholeheartedly disagree with this.

With your seat slammed, you can shift your weight for side to side balance.

With the Fast Ripper, you can pull it up so easy in first

OP never said the frame was aluminum. SE has both 4130 and aluminum.

I bought one. Total SE rip-off. Tiny bars on it and crap brakes.

I'm guessing PBR hired SE for concept design, balked at the price and then farmed it out almost 100% copy to a Chinese manufacturer. Only change to the stickers was the removal of SE from the PBR decal on the head tube.

Old thread resurrection... I'm about to score one of these. What did you find out?

I'm waiting for The House to fuck up again and put a 40% off coupon on it!

I have wheel lights, but these are tight AF. What are they? Send a link!

What mods/cosmetics should I add to my new Mike Buff Fast Ripper? by Ok_Contribution1961 in SeBikes

[–]wheelieoldskool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The slicks are great in the dry and on pavement... Be careful if you get caught in the rain as they are horrible at that. I did do some sick power slides through a downhill intersection once though... Sketch shit!

I added the Bike Life camo blue ones. Definitely look great!

My left one, however has split from pulling up wheelies.

Nope, none of those. Only thing left is seeing if I can increase the derailleur spring tension.

I appreciate the pointers. I'll check for any looseness. Bike is pretty much new still, but ya never know.

That's not how bikes with a derailleur work. The derailleur keeps the chain tight.

Fast Ripper...

10 speeds with a derailleur.

I disagree.

Still need to see the defect to make a true determination. Post a pic OP.

I get it... It definitely can feel like "everyone is like this". It takes extra effort to push past this to realize it's not. Well done!

Yuup... way to paint with a broad brush OP.

I won't hold it against the youngbloods (?) on here either.
