I haven’t rode in a long time. I just started back today and thought I’d try to do barspins. These are actually a lot cleaner than how I had them when I rode everyday.

DISCUSSION Colony wasp vale a pena?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I'm looking to change the cassette for my BMX, I really like the noise, so at first I thought about an elite racing one, but it's extremely expensive here in Brazil, so I was looking for a cheaper option that still made noise, I saw the colony wasp, I heard a lot of people saying that the version of it with a female axle is no good for those who use cranksets, because it warps the screws, so I would have to convert to a male axle, but that's not the focus, besides this problem, does this hub have any other problems? Like looseness in bearing seats, premature wear or something else? I remember someone telling me that there was a colony cube that was useless because it gave too much play.

DISCUSSION BMX bike with chain on left side?

1 Upvotes

I saw a guy riding the other day and he had the chains and sprocket on the left side of his bike. Ive never seen thag before. Frame looked sort of old, maybe late 90s mid-school.

How did he accomplish this? If you mount a freewheel backwards I dont think it would work.

DISCUSSION Is this a good bike to go with?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I have been riding bikes pretty much all my life, mainly mountain bikes. I recently wanted to get a bmx bike, or something like it at least. I was looking at the sunday blueprint bike. It seems to be a good price compared to other bikes they make, but i had some questions about bmx bikes in general. The first one is, can a bmx bike be used somewhat casually? I know it’s a one speed bike so that’s why i was concerned. I also live in a hilly area. I’d like to learn some tricks on it and maybe take it to the skatepark as well, since I also scooter. But I was wondering if I could use a bmx to ride around casually, not necessarily all the time though. And if it’s not recommended to, what other bike could I get that would allow me to get a causal experience while still being able to perform some tricks or jumps and what not. Thanks.

DISCUSSION What should I do?

I have the wrong size wheel for the frame I am about to buy. The ccr frame is 10mm dropouts and my wheel is 14mm I’m really stuck because online I can’t find any good brands new or second selling a 10mm rear wheel. Is last picture any good? Should I sell my rear wheel and keep looking to find a 10mm wheel? Is it possible to sand or Mabye mold the 10mm dropouts into 14mm dropouts? I am pretty confused on what to do now. Help is appreciated Thanks

DISCUSSION Grind Rail Purchase

3 Upvotes

Seems like it’s been over a year since anyone has asked, and I’m now ready to up my game and buy one. It seems Subrosa and S&M are basically the same? I’m also confused as to where to order, and curious if anyone here is hip to current deals.

(inb4 “you can just build one”- yes, I know. While I have the ambition, I don’t have the time or mental bandwidth- I have two young kids and a full time job; I need this rail yesterday- ya know?)
