  • In today's Tech Thursday, brought to you by Epic BMX (@_epicbmx) Phu tackles the age old myth that Titanium is the best and lightest material to build a BMX bike with! Some of the products we highlight today were the Knight Titanium Pegs, vs Primo Aluminum pegs, Profile Titanium Imperial Sprocket vs Profile Aluminum Sprocket, Odyssey Titanium Driver, Profile titanium driver, profile titanium spindle, titanium axles, and titanium vs aluminum cogs.

    FYI, Industry Nine made aluminum spokes for BMX racing around 10 years ago, but they cost $7.00 each and were only compatible with I9 hubs. I've got one of their complete 20" BMX wheelsets, and MSRP was $980.00 USD new!

    I actually witnessed the road rage thing unfold as i was there. I was walking past when phu was learning that dude something fierce. I mean he was getting it, phu was getting ready to peg grind the dudes face. The only thing that saved the guy was that some kid rode by on a gt pro performer and phu stopped beating the guy to do a quick bike check which gave the guy time to regain consciousness and get away.

    Hey Alfredo I have a question. I recently started BMX for the first time at the age of 28. I bought my first bike and I’m kinda worried I made a huge mistake and that it’s to small.
    I’m 6”3 and got a 21” TopTube, 9”3 bars and the stem has a fair bit of a rise and I have 20” wheels.
    Is this bike to small for me? I live in the Netherlands and don’t really know any riders or shops here. So you are like one of the few I can ask for some advice.

    • @thomas930409

    I think you should have added the way titanium and steel will fail. Titanium will break catastrophically, meaning it will snap like a twig when it fails. Steel will bend and has some forgiveness.

    Titanium parts break easier than chromoly, I wouldn't use it for anything on a BMX other than maybe the seat clamp bolt. For tubular parts, axles, nuts, and bolts, chromoly rules. For everything else, aluminum is going to be as light or lighter than titanium. Titanium might be more durable than aluminum, but its not as durable as chromoly, and its more expensive than either, so who gives a shit. I reckon the seat clamp bolt will be fine though, my seatpost is literally made of plastic, so in the worst case scenario, its the seatpost that will probably break before any bolt that's holding it on. Generally, if you want to ride better, you're better off just eating more and lifting weights than buying expenisve titanium parts. It's not just about how light your bike is, you want to be confident that its strong when you're trying to ride hard. How stiff/springy metal is plays a role too, and I think if there was a big advantage to titanium parts, we'd see them being used on a lot more professional rider's bikes, but that isn't happening, in any type of cycling. Even at the top levels of competition, in any discipline, the best riders in the world seem to do just fine without a lot of titanium parts on their bike.
    All of that being said, I'd give a nut for one of those titanium Profile sprockets, it looks like it belongs on a dentist's bike.
