Like stated above. My son rides dk sprinter currently 1 3/8, and I’d like to get him lighter less rotational weight, are these rims compatible with both? Also, wheee can I grab the brake line clips that hold line underneath top tube? Broke one.
As stated above, need the I’ve been there and done that answer of can I run both tubes in those tires and where’s best to buy. I appreciate all the help.
So we scored my son a Specialized hotrock 16" for $30. We then found out theres a local bmx racing track nearby and we brought him to a practice session and he did pretty well on the entire course for a 4year old. Is this bike a decent platform to build off of? he would love building it with me and racing. Where do I go from here? chainring? cog? hand brake? narrow tire / wheel? Any guidance would be helpful, thanks.
Someone had this beauty sitting at the end of there driveway with a free sign. It was headed to the dumps.
We're looking to try out BMX racing. My son is turning 14 this month and has shown interest so I'm looking at bike options. I raced when I was his age, but the landscape has changed a lot. I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck and don't want to go to crazy because I have no idea if he'll want to stick with it after a season.
Right now I'm looking at two different bike options and the price difference is pretty drastic, so I'm looking for help from the community to decide.

I can get the DK local and I like the idea of supporting a local shop, but it's a lot more expensive. The Huffy is a lot cheaper, but maybe there are reasons to avoid it.
after 10+ years off the bike and returning. I got alot of confidence back, 2 heavy crashes later and Im struggling with fear of the bike spitting me off again.
Anyone know of any meditation/psychotherapy/hypnosis programs focused at BMX racing?
i want to break this before it takes hold deeper.
I like the intense micro knobby 2 style, sadly they don't make them anymore. I will attach a picture of them, The bike is a 2010 GT Power Series and it currently has Schwalbe Big Apple tires with slime innertubes which i know are heavy so that is why i am switching soon. I had alook at the Vee Speedster tires but they are quite expensive so i don't know yet. I want to take it to a few local pumptracks for abit of fun.
I bought a jet accelerator pro xl last year, slowly upgraded so that the only original parts are the frame (which I had powder coated) and handlebars.
I enjoy using three local pump tracks and one slightly further race track which is open to the public, but I'm struggling to find where to go to start racing as a complete BMX racing beginner.
beginner sessions seem to be child centred and adult sessions presume you have been racing for 20 years. anybody got any suggestions? :)
Should I worry about the rear gear? I’ve swapped every part but rear cog so as to why I ask. Learning as I go. If it doesn’t matter, I’ll grab a 34 and send him out the gate. Added second photo regarding 34 chainring at closer to 50. Month away from 7 years old boy.
Random thought here:
I’m in my 40s, about 5’ 10”, 175lbs, usually run a 21” top tube on my race bikes.
Anyone about my size ever try using an Expert XXL? This Supercross Expert XXL has a 21” top tube, chainstays are just a bit shorter than my frames. I’m curious how it would feel. Thanks!
With racing seasons starting soon in some places there are bound to be some people here looking for answers. Please don't be afraid to ask! Not a lot of communities are as welcoming and non-judgemental as BMX, and I've found that to be true both here and at the track. I've gotten a TON of help here in the last few months, thanks to everyone that has helped!
Hi I recently got this Redline frame but have no clue exactly what it is and what year it was made. Any info would be great.
estoy pensando en comprarme mi primera bmx de street
es mi primera vez y necesito consejo de que marca de BMX utilizar
Our track is putting together a custom jersey order. I understand the numbering system for plates, etc., but am wondering if there are any rules (written or unwritten) for selecting a jersey number?
Since it will be used for more than one season, we don't want to go with our plate number. Do most people just choose what they want or are there some guidelines?
EDITED TO ADD: I'm guessing that doing something like choosing a "1" without having earned a #1 plate might be seen as kind of... obnoxious?
