Thanks for the knowledge. I love how you emphasis on just getting a bike and riding. Upgrade as you go. Cause for me, the ride is what it is all about. I'm loving my Kink Launch '22. So far I am impressed.
I'm trying to buy a budget bike. But the hard part I'm having is knowing these new brands and finding double walled rims. I can replace unsealed with sealed bearings no problem. But I don't want to have to buy another set of rims. I havent rode in almost 20 years. Only brands I know are Kink, Sunday, Wethepeople....thats about it. Any recommendations on a full bike with double walls? I owned a set of triple wall rims once. Don't think they're made anymore, but I remember them being soooooo heavy.
Does unsealed matter like the bottom bracket I don’t have a sealed one but I also only know how to bunny hop manual and 180 so I don’t know crazy tricks but I did bend my rim today so I have no clue on how to find a finished run with spokes and a hub and stuff can u give me a few pointers I’m not a custom build person at all I only know basics like replacing a tube cause I had to before and a few other things
@@Crash.7434 Sealed bearings help prevent dirt and grime from getting into your bearings and are generally stronger than unsealed. So if you're in the market for a complete bike, definitely shoot for 100% chromoly, sealed bearings and double wall rims. If just replacing parts, go the same route.
@@dimmn82 I just need a new rim with a sprocket on it already and all the other stuff. I just want to have to put a tub and a tire on it which I got still I just bent my last rim doing tricks and now time for a upgrade on that rim
Would you recommend a beginner getting a decent spec bike like the Mongoose L100 to start off with or get a beginner spec? Would the decent spec one motivate the beginner to keep at it? even tho its expensive. Or would a beginner spec one reduce the motivation? but its affordable.
If you’re really looking for a decent spec bike, stay away from mongoose. The l100 isn’t bad but a lot of the parts are weak and sometimes breaking parts is enough to discourage someone from riding it and sticking with the sport
What's annoying is that cult puts the match rims on the devotion but not the match hubs, so the match front hub guards I ordered don't work and no one in America has cult crew front hub guards
I need help I was learning how to 180 flat after I already learned a 180 off a curb on the road and I bent my rim where do I start to find a new one? I want a cheap one but also strong and I want everything on it(hub, spokes, all that good stuff) I’m not a custom builder I barley can even put a wheel on my bmx but I do know how to chnage a tube had to do that a lot
@Leopold idk I was only doing 90 degree angles and it never broke then the first or second one I actually landed it broke then, so I don’t think the balance thing has much to do with it, it’s just the rim itself it couldn’t withstand any more damage and I rather not pay for someone to fix it cause the damage is done and I took welding and one thing I learned with any type of metal is once you change the chemical balance in it it will never be as strong as it was no matter if it was bent by weight or bent by heat or anything

I had rhyno lites back in 98 on my Diamond Back cruiser, then I got skyway 24s. I Have some Envy 24s now. Good rims are good advice. I love the info!
Didn't really need this info, enjoyed watching anyhow! Great channel!

@@Crash.7434 I think BSD makes some of the best rims on the market right now.
Mongoose are good
Thanks for the knowledge
Really in depth

Daily Grind or S&M cymbals 👍
@@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173 cool I'll check them out. Thanks
Double wall is necessary. I'd destroy single walls in one week. And I'm old. A good rider would instantly put big wobbles in single wall rims.
Love the video keep em coming

Literally I couldn’t finish the 180 cause once my rim go to a certain point when I was rollin backwards it got stuck and threw me off

THE FIEND 2022 BMX BIKES ARE OUT
Is doul chembers double side wall?
Why do 450 dollar bmx bikes come with single wall rims. Ann frank in the bmx industry now?
Welded double wall rims with cross laced spokes are the only real option here
can u talk about the bike prices right now and where we should buy bikes rn I'm looking for a bike for 500-650
Sourcebmx, Danscomp, Albe’s are all good reputable companies
I only buy triple walled rims.
