[LowEnuff]

dam dude they were really messed up...

[wv87minitruckr]

are you going to go with sealed bearings this time around?

[nissan1995]

ya im goin to get some really good bearings to hopefully prevent this from happening again

right now its just a wal-mart bike but im slowly building it up

[$krap_IN_flesh]

to switch to sealed bearings he would need new hubs. unless that has even changed but hell its been 6 years since I rode

[Leady2]

get DK sealed hubs they're sick.

[jdoe44]

Unless the cones or cups are toast, there's no need to put money into it. Just replace the bearing, make sure it's greased up nicely and tightened right, and save the money you would have spent to get something a little nicer than a walmart bike. It takes a bit of looking, but around here you can find deals all the time on craigslist for nice bikes that people bought, rode just enough to get a little dirty, and never touched again.

check out craigslist there is a pro stock on there in the bike section for 75 bucks! lite and nice for either street or dirt! glad to see you messing with your bike! we need to go ride!


soon as i get a chain for my mosh you can ride it if you want!

I find it funny you guys running those small sprockets only cause I'm an old skooler with BMX I use to run a 47 front with a 14 rear.

[SkinnyG]

I just started into making bikes. My first one here, has some serious ride issues (totally uncomfortable, and no way to power up hills), but cruises the flat pretty nice. Looks like a school shop because it is - I teach highschool shop.

[NissanXEPilot]

It's been years since I've been on a BMX bike, I'll stick with my mountain bike. I gotta side with Skrap in flesh, those tiny sprokets gotta be wearing yer asses out.

[xmb63]

I find it funny you guys running those small sprockets only cause I'm an old skooler with BMX I use to run a 47 front with a 14 rear. My gearing is 30 11 which is pretty much the same as 44 16 thats the size that comes standard on older bmx bikes. But it doesnt matter much all i really ride is trails and there down hill so one crank and you got enough speed to make it through the set.

[Doordragin720]

here mine i built about 6 years ago pretty much only S&M and Primo parts

14 or 16?! I raced 44/16, 45/16 for years on 1 3/8 and 170 mm cranks...
Now I am on 38/17 24" and 180mm... 36 years old and still dirt jumpin, never too old to retrace your roots.

[$krap_IN_flesh]

Ya I raced with my 47/14 setup with profile 180's on my Auburn. My dirt setup was 45/17 on my L&S Creation. and ya Joe I was one of the 4 guys that built Backwoods that later became known as Pull Until Shit Hurts

[xmb63]

Then you probably know jason steig. Ive ridden little push and new push behind cool springs driving range but never got a chance to ride it when it was behind ames it got plowed before i could dirt jump.

[$krap_IN_flesh]

yes I know steig haven't seen him since I was 15 thou was better friends with justin short

[xmb63]

Its like 30-40 to ship a bike broken down in a bike box like you would get it when its new. If you do have to ship it go to a bike shop and get a box. We used to give them away to people who needed them when i worked at trek. Otherwise they just got thrown away.

i have a buddy that works at hollie i think that is how you spell it it a bike part distributers i was going to ask him for a box but it just the frame and forks and bars

[xmb63]

If you do ship it make sure you put a block of wood or a spacer between the dropouts ups isnt very gentle with packages ive seen frames get bent during shipping.
