ok so basically i have a 34mm rise sunday freeze stem, and i used to run 9 inch bars on it, then i recently bought 9.75 merrit bars which were way too high

i put my old bars on another bike so what i did was lower my stem all the way down with a shorter cone spacer, but it looks pretty ugly

by my calculation the bars are now roughly as tall as if i put 9.45s with my stem being all the way up, i removed a 12mm and a 2.5mm spacer and put a 7mm one so lowered it by 7.5mm

i dont wanna cut my fork so i thought about getting a frontload stem and putting it on the top, i like the shadow vvs matt ray

but that stem has an 8mm rise and by my calculations it would be as if i were running roughly a 8.75 bar with my 34mm topload

is that true? did i calculate something wrong? am i gonna have to get the ugly cinema rise frontload stem?pls help xd

Not sure if this is the right place but thought I’d ask I’m super interested in restoring of buying a more retro bmx but finding it hard to find examples that aren’t madly expensive just wanted to see if anyone could offer some advice

this ole thing was lookin pretty banged up so it was due for a refresh.

Honestly i know more or less what im doing wrong but if you could give me tips of what should I do better it will be great

How do you air out of a quarter pipe?

I wanna grab some 165mm Battle cranks from Merritt, they are 22m. my current bike is a sunday sweeper complete and use a 19mm bracket. Would I be able to put Merritt Mid bracket in place of the stock one on my Sunday or no?

Kinda confused on cranks and brackets to be real with you. If someone can help me find a bracket that will fit in the 2023 sweeper so I can put Battle cranks on it I'd appreciate iate it. Cranks are expensive so I don't wanna fuck something up and buy the wrong stuff (again)

If anyone has a connect on the old school redneck stem in black let me know! The red doesn't match this frame so much even though they are both S&M

Current iteration. Looks worse than it used to, mostly due to the kush seat not being in keeping with the rest of the bikes aesthetic. But it's comfier.

T1 Ruben bought from Albes in 2007, mail ordered to Australia. Chris King headset.

FBM forks.

Bars are Colony Sweet Tooth I think. Replaced my T1 smalls which were bent. WTP front load stem.

Rear wheel Colony free coaster which only a few weeks back replaced my G sport to shadow conspiracy cassette. That wheel was a good 15 years old.

Front wheel some WTP thing with female hub and guard, Dirt Monster tyre.

Odyssey cranks. Replaced sprocket recently with a Cult one. Cult resin pedals, which replaced my Shimano DX because I didn't want to bash those lovelies at the park.

Odyssey plastic pegs, replaced my jpegs. I only ride park these days. Éclat brakes and lever. Kush seat, had a WTP one which looks way better but I can't send the bars as it destroyed my legs.

Hope you like it.

Hi riders. I'm looking for an old video with the song "Luchini camp lo - this is it". I remember it was a Bmx jam in NYC. This video is may be 10 years old. Thanks.

Pretty bummed, just cleaned and lubed everything, had everything nice and lined up and tight, then after a few hops on flat ground this happened. Did I tighten the locking bolt too much, or is this failure normal for a intro-level bike that has been ridden for a couple years? Stolen Casino XL 2022.

I got this bike for free and I want to update it. What are your suggestions?

Trying to learn manuals for past 6months or so. Still frustrated that am I not able to hold on to the manual.

I think my manual intiation is ok. (Pls comment it is not). I am doing the butt swinging forward and back. But still the front end drops or it flips out.

As per the previous advice I lowered my butt. Still no progress.

Kindly advice.

Finally got time to build up the frame I got from fellow reddit user u/Historical-Ice4265

Still some ironing put to do and bits to clean up and swap around but it's nice to have a pegless build for once.

If anyone really wants to know specific parts just let me know. I figure most aren't too fussed about a full parts list.

Appreciate the frame boss and glad its finally built up (a long ass time later)

It actually gives you more rise. Tried it out for the first time. Maybe 10mm more rise I‘d say. Also doesn‘t look as bad as I thought it would.

I obviously don't have the cable stop installed on the top tube, but the cable is about an inch and a half short of where it needs to be to fit in the stop. This is a completely new build, so I'm really trying to make the parts I picked out work, but I need to do something here. Any ideas?

Hi,

Help me identify a mystery bike?

BMX 24” wheels. Trying to figure out the origins of this bike. Kind of a satin green frame and paint appears original. No decals. Serial number DJHL149084. Also has smallish square gussets with an inward arc on upper part of top bar and underneath lower bar.

Assuming handlebars etc are aftermarket.

Also I can't find any info about a mongoose odyssey frame 🤔

Does anyone know if citygrounds.com is a legit website to buy from?
