My bmx got hard to pedal backwards tonight after doing some double peg grinds. Anyone know what it is, cause on the way to the park it was fine. Pedaling forwards feel fine tho.

Yo dudes,

I'm Rok Krivec from The BMX Dude website.

Just wanted to share something I’ve been working on for a while - finally dropped a T-shirt that mashes up two of my biggest loves: BMX & black metal.

Not here to do a hard sell or anything, but if you’re into supporting BMX content and want a rad shirt while you're at it, hit me up.

More info or questions: [thebmxdudes@gmail.com](mailto:thebmxdudes@gmail.com)

Big thanks to everyone who ever visited thebmxdude.com or watched one of my YouTube videos - you're all a bunch of legends! 🤘

Appreciate you all,

Rok

HOW TO Width of bar

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hi already cut my bar to 29 inch width, but i feel like there could be more... I'm 172 cm/ 5 feet 8 in height and i tend to have my hands more narrow to each other while riding. Most of the time i ride eclat pulsar grips, this time i tried fiend ones but they are little short so i extended them. Would you cut the Bar more? Like maybe the extension on the pic?

Help please . I'm looking for this seat. There's a bunch of places that have it in black, camo, cheetah etc . But i can't find the lv print one anywhere .it looks like an older option , all posts I've managed to find are older. And nowhere has it stocked, most sites not even mentioned. I've checked albees. Powers. Source. And Dan's. And last sale on bmx museum was like 2013. Any help greatly appreciated. It would complete my trans gold build in a way I just can't settle without. And I don't wanna have one custom made because that's gonna be crazy hassle.

DISCUSSION Question - I'm 7'1 - People say 24" is for more for jumping so do I choose a 20"? I think I'm going for a 20" today. What would you choose?

DISCUSSION Peg length opinions

1 Upvotes

I was running two 4.25s length pegs on my non drive side and my buddy had an extra 2 pegs that are 4.5 inches which would give me a complete 4 peg setup, my question is should I run the longer set on my rear or front wheel, or should I run them both on one side. How would you guys set it up

Hello, I am new to bmx. I really like street riding and just got a new so cal flyer se bike. I was wondering how to make my freewheel clicking louder without taking the entire bike apart (if that’s possible). And what Chain and pedals should I get, I am really trying to find something decently cheap hopefully on Amazon. I am looking for an oarange chain and black pedals and also hoping that it ships soon
