  • One of my subscribers gave me the idea to do a bike check of my 2012 and 2016 Olympic bikes and see what was different, so here it is! I thought it was interesting seeing what the differences were. Which do you like better?

    You're like the Tom Brady of BMX. A very nice well mannered man, who transforms into a cold blooded assassin when the helmet goes on.

    One of the biggest differences between the frames that was not mentioned is internal brake cable routing on the RSP 3.0. It's a cleaner look.

    What do you think will be the main differences between your 2016 bike and your 2020 Bmx. Would you run disc brakes and a rubber chain ✌🏽

    • @kidrocketbmx
      @kidrocketbmx 7 лет назад

    hello I have a bmx track near me and it's free to go in and use and i've been going with my park bike just to learn how to pump i'm so out of shape but for sure this is really good exercise. But the bike seems like it wants to loop out sometimes is that why the race bikes have the long rear end and short handle bars? mine are 9" tall bars. Also i'm 5'7 what size race bike would you recommend like a 20.5 or bigger? I have to order from internet so not sure. Thanks love your vids watch all of them

    • @TheYBGOON
      @TheYBGOON 7 лет назад +1

      tools longer rear end on a race frame so you don't loop out. For your size I would go for a pro xl. Top tube 21/21.25. 2017 gt pro xl is a good start.

    • @chandlermiller7426
      @chandlermiller7426 2 года назад

      My guess is 44/16 because every pro in 2012 was running a 46/17

  • @jonathanhowson6420
    @jonathanhowson6420 7 лет назад

    Connor, why don't bmx riders use carbon fiber forks, frames and other components? also, why don't you use a disc brake on the back and do you/can you run tubeless tyres? cheers Jonny

    • @Reecepbcups
      @Reecepbcups 7 лет назад +1

      Jonathan Howson a lot of riders ride carbon. Some pros just don't need carbon to win.

    • @frenchfryyt5730

    • @stevespadaccini666
      @stevespadaccini666 7 лет назад

      I race Bmx and the reason why we don't use disk brakes is because there have bean situations when the disk has cut people's legs

    • @jonathanhowson6420
      @jonathanhowson6420 7 лет назад

      Steve Spadaccini I know this was the reason they banned them from road biking, but it wasn't really clear if it was the discs or on. Mountain bike 4x and xc racers have used discs for over 20 years without a problem. I have always wondered why bmx racers seem to stick with older technology. I have been to a few gate practice nights and the bikes some of the guys have are worth a fortune with customers king hubs, bearings etc so I can't see it being money that is the issue.

    • @stevespadaccini666
      @stevespadaccini666 7 лет назад

      Hi Jonathan, the reason why some of these really high quality bmx bikes don't have disk brakes is because the disk and the brake can be quit heavy but normal brakes are quite lightweight, in mountain biking 🚵🏼 and the bikes don't have to be extreamly light.
