Woohoo! This is my bike! 👌👌👌 Pull it out of the box and flip it over, a few times. There was a broken piece of welding slag in my top tube, and I had to return it. City Grounds replaced it. Took 3 weeks, but they took care of me. Second bike was perfect. Love my CG Big Ripper.
Ive upgraded bars to some black dk ones put odi grips kool stop brake pads some baby blue platform pedals to match frame sweet brass bell ride out supply freewheel (stock se was junk and broke right away)headlight and tail light next upgrade broke boyz bars and was going for profile imperial sprocket but the knight one is sweet cant decide now oh well $ is tight so have a while to decide great videos guys keep up good work and plan on putting blue camo cult tires
That’s a sweet bmx! Took me over 6 months to catch one! Already got a full box of upgrades for it waiting. I get ur point about the shop, but I’m a man and I have to build my own bmx
Didnt see ya swap freewheel and chain but bike is sweet with upgrades.I got my big ripper from city grounds only problem was bent spoke on front wheel no biggie wheelrolls fine and spoke is tight
Yeah Alan, it was more of a tech tip instead of instructional. Good eye though. Isaac made a sprocket install video on our RUclips page if you want to check out. 🤘🏻
John Freeman on BIKES correct. It looks like a potts mod but it has a hex bolt inside. Black Ops is the only one I know of so far. Haro makes one for the new Fusion stems as well. Not sure if the cap fits most stems or not though.
Nice review. I got same bike end of March. Just got my 4 piece broke boyz bars. I’ll be flipping the stem over next. What were the differences between your old and new stem? More reach? Both top load, just wondering.
djcashwell congrats on the new bike! I swapped the SE stem during install, so I never rode it. The Knight stem is a bit beefier and adding the Broke Boyz 4 piece change the ride and feel too. 🤘🏻
That's crazy! Hit up City Grounds and they'll get the warranty started so you can get it fixed. I have three SE bikes and ride my bikes crazy hard and I've never had any issues with anything breaking. My PK Ripper gets rode hard doing flatland tricks and it's bone stock and rolls perfectly. Sorry to hear about yours, but SE will make it right.
They’re not shimmed correctly from the factory. A lot of people want to smoke the bolts down, when they actually need to be taken apart and re-shimmed. When you take the chain off, and spin the cranks, freely, they should spin effortlessly, and go around by themselves. Most of the time when you take the chain off, and spin the cranks, it’s too tight, and only spins a half turn by itself. When you should be able to whip the crank arm and it should go around a bunch of times. Check out the BMX Cruisers tech group on Facebook. Mike Russell had a great video from a few weeks ago, on how to shim your SE cranks. facebook.com/groups/206838757409284/?ref=share

Great review! and Yes, I've built my own bike, but many moons ago, rather take it to a local bike shop to have it built and dialed in.

I had that se bike I regret selling it😔
Jose Rodriguez why bro? And What’s the retail price anyhow?
I replace most factory ugly parts or stuff that I think looks cheap.
I’ve always customized my bikes in some form or another. This one was totally hooked up by Knight Bike, and I’m so stoked!! Thank you Knight!!🙏🏻😎
Did you leave IG? I have pics if that Haro to show ya
Isaac Irvine
Yeah someone hack my account so I decided not to replace it. I’ll DM you from my wife account
