    cool where is the riding scene out there, i was i the navy in pearl harbor, raced at hickam bmx around 1991 -1993 raced with shannon gillete, jason enright, i remember jumping the scary guangas double jump.

      We're on Kauai and I have to say the BMX scene isn't that big here. We do have some kids now jumping on these big BMX bikes and doing wheelies and the 20" BMX scene is also pretty small. Kids are on them riding in neighborhoods but we have no BMX track here anymore. I raced on Oahu once at a state meet at Keehi Lagoon. Wished I had a chance to race at Hickam!

    I got a Gt Heritage Pro Series 29er. I was wondering if you could help me out with the products I need to change my bike to disk breaks. And what is your favorite Gum Wall tires that I can use on my bike 🤔
    You guys Rock🤘🏼

      Check out our videos on the disc brake conversion we did on Bernie's Z frame Hutch and my recently completed Torker. In it you'll be able to see what we did. I used the disc brake adaptor from Stacked BMX. It's a little pricey but it's made in the USA and each step of the process was done by BMXers. You can also reach out to Larry at Stacked BMX for a complete kit he can sell you to do this. You can even order new rims and he'll have everything in the kit for you to bolt on your bike! He's super helpful and would be the guy to go to for disc brake conversions. As for tires, I like Panaracers but they can sometimes be hard to find in stock. I like the skinny sizes like 1.75 and those have looked really good on our bikes. Thanks for the kind comments and for watching! We appreciate it! 🤙🏻

      Bernie picked his up from eBay but go check out Stacked BMX and the adaptor he created. It's really good. Our Torker video has us putting it on the frame. Part 2, which hasn't been filmed yet, will show how to set it up. Thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻

    Hey guys! I just picked up these same cranks for a GT 29er I'm building. I also noticed how hard it was to fit the spindle in to the crank. It only fits (by hand) a short distance, and must be tightened all the way with tools. Watching your video, and how hard Bernie had to 'wrench' the cranks on there - how difficult you think it would be to remove the cranks? I'm guessing the spindle bolt would come out easily, but to me- it doesn't seem like the crank would then slide off the spindle very easy. Thoughts? Thank you!

    • @cruisinginthe808
      @cruisinginthe808  Год назад +1

      Here's what Bernie said...."The crank arm will always be hard to remove . You always have to use the crank removal tool." I think with the tool it should be ok to remove but yeah, you do need to put some muscle on them. That spindle makes it harder for sure.

  • @RatRacer503
    @RatRacer503 Год назад

    Another stellar video! I noticed the link above to the cranks also had them in 165. Is one length better than another depending on the bike size or your height? Looking for some GT cranks as well for a 94 GT interceptor build.

    • @cruisinginthe808
      @cruisinginthe808  Год назад

      Yes, they make them in different lengths. It all depends on the size of your bike, your height, and what you are comfortable with. I've always used 175s but that's the length that I have used since my BMX days. Bernie changes his and goes up and down but in this last video he went back to 175s. Shorter crank lengths make it easier to pedal so keep that in mind. Sorry, I wished I could be more help!

    What type of rims are best?

    • @cruisinginthe808
      @cruisinginthe808  8 месяцев назад +1

      Thatʻs a hard question to answer simply because it depends on a few things. Do you want the old school look or do you want more of the modern type of rim? What color/finish do you want? How much are you willing to spend? Iʻve had good luck with the Sun Ryno Lites except their chrome plated version. I have a chrome plated set that the chrome is rubbing off for some reason. Not sure if itʻs because of our humidity in Hawaii or if I just have a bad set. But the anodized rims are awesome. What kind of bike do you have?

      If you click on the bell thingy somewhere on the bottom edge of one of our videos, I think you can choose to get notified when anything new drops. As for replies, I'm not sure if that bell notification thing works for that too but you can try. Usually I get an email whenever someone replies to a comment I leave on someone else's video. If you check your email regularly that should help. Thank you so much for the comment as it might help others and thanks for watching! 🤙🏻

    Since Hutch is not the same Hutch that we grew up with Bitd JBD is the new owner and looks to drive on trends.... kinda like H.I.C. making surf boards under the new company saying it's like a old thruster....

    • @cruisinginthe808
      @cruisinginthe808  10 месяцев назад

      I hear you but those old brands were like 40 or more years old and it’s hard to keep a business like that in the family for that long. All the old school bike companies are now run by other people. Haro doesn’t build his bikes anymore. Neither does GT. But if these companies can come out with bikes that looked and somewhat match what we grew up with, I think that’s cool for most people. Obviously if you want only OG parts you can definitely find them but at much higher prices. In the end, just do whatever it is you want to do. It’s your ride and your money.
