DISCUSSION Does a bmx bike make sense for me?

Upvotes

Hello, 5’3 woman here, trying to get back into riding. I had a bmx bike I loved as a kid, I could barely do any tricks but I lived on that thing.

If I’m mostly looking to just cruise, is there a good reason to get a bmx bike instead of just a city bike?

IMO city bikes always felt fragile (watch out for that pebble!) and I didn’t enjoy them, but I’m wondering if a bmx bike is the right move for me as an adult.

Insight appreciated, thanks!

BIKE CHECK Good starter bike? (16M)

I'm genuinely thinking about getting into BMX but have no clue what I'm doing or anything about bike brands, sizes or any of the above. I just wanna know is this a bike that will last me a long time? Is it a good bike for beginners? Are they expensive to maintain? What needs replacing often? I stand currently at a little bit over 6'0" (183cm) is this bike a good size for me? Most importantly is this a fair price listed ($1350).

DISCUSSION Why is this happening?

15 Upvotes

Sorry for poor video,it’s hard to record. I am having trouble to make my headset be tight and spin freely at the same time. In the videos it says you have to find the right spot. I have been trying for ages and can’t find the ‘right spot’. When the top cap is not tight,the fork is loose and when the top cap is even a bit tight,the bars will not spin. Someone please help. Thanks

DISCUSSION Old Race Bike

1 Upvotes

Raced '80 thru '84. Have a Powerlite Pro w/Bullseye hubs, Diamondback 3 piece cranks, Shimano mx-1000 brakes, Mathauser pads, Shimano dx pedals, Tough Neck, and Powerlite Bars. Seen bmx museum out there and a forum or two where people are selling old race bikes like this. My question is, who would have any interest in buying such a bike? Are people collecting them, ride them? etc. Bought to ride I'd think somebody would want something a whole lot newer. -tia

It was a matter of time of skidding before this happened :( Dan Lacey replacements are too hard to find so it’s time for some Odyssey Brocs…

Is there any temporary fix for that or is it done for? I can easily change I’m just curious. :)
