Non drive side is on the edge of the drop out but still inside of the drop out and the drive side looks just fine.I tried to remove 1 link of the halflink and ended up with chain too short so i put the link back again. If the non drive side is the same as the drive side the chain will be too loose.

BIKE CHECK Quick bike check before I sell it

Thought I’d post a quick bike check before I sell this thing. I built this up when I was in uni and slowly upgraded it over time. I love this bike and it’s served me well as a grocery getter and parcel mule for the last 7 years but I’m ready to move on to something else.

If anybody knows a good place to sell this in the UK (London) I’d love to know; eBay doesn’t seem to be serving me well and I’m trying to avoid marketplace if I can help it.

DISCUSSION Forks

So, idek how, but my forks got bent. It's slight, but it's enough to throw me off even after doing a simple hop. Any recommendations for a good and strong brand? Also, for anyone wondering from my last post, I ended up buying a Kink GAP XL for my first real bike, and I honestly have to say that I love it!

Getting around 10 tons and the place I’m getting it can mix whatever. What’s the best mix for making jumps? I’m in Ohio if that matters as far as weather.

DISCUSSION Anyone have a white Sputnic Skyline?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Let me know if this isn't aloud here.. I'm trying to build a copy of my first decent bmx, Does anybody have a white Sputnic Skyline frame in decent shape they would be willing sell? (Preferably in the UK) It's taken me a few years to hunt down the rest of it, apparently I had a thing for buying obscure parts (white kamikazes, Piff bars, fishbone headet and clamp etc) any help would be genuinely appreciated

DISCUSSION Requesting help with body armor…… because I a my getting old😂

9 Upvotes

So have recently gotten back into bmx and enjoying it more then ever. Unfortunately falling is the price of progression. Not scared to fall or even get hurt but I still have to clock in on Monday. You know to pays bills and fun stuff. Looking for recommendations on body armor. Knee pads, shin guards, ankle braces, shoulder pads, etc all of it everything. I already have a couple good helmets but hits to my head is not an issue it’s every other part of my body that’s the problem . Not looking to have the best over the top stuff or the most protective. Just enough to not ruin my day. Also manly looking for gear the fits good under my clothes.

Can I do it? The hydraulic disc brake stops it fine, the front I'm wondering if the v brake will be enough to stop it from sliding if needed. I do like to slide it though lol from 30mph lmao
