yes, 28/9 gearing is very popular with riders. it provides a little more resistance than the even more popular 25/9. theres nothing wrong with that gearing at all.

go to danscomp.com and check the weights on the bikes. it also depends on how strong you are and how much you weight

Not too sure the actuall weight but its pretty light ;)

A used Skyway BMX bike can be purchased from the original owners. Ebay and PinkBike are two locations where skyway bikes can be listed for resale. Used bikes can also be found on craigslist.

Way too many variations to answer here. Check out www.bicycletutor.com, www sheldonbrown.com or www.parktool.com for detailed instructions.

it depends on what the purpose for riding your fixie is...for tricks use a riser handlebar because it allows for the best leverage when doing wheelies or keospins. you should use straight bars when your just cruising

it matters what you are going to use it for

Brakes will squeak when the brake shoes vibrate on the rim of the wheel as they grab. As the rim rotates, it will twist the brake shoes so that only the back of the show touches the rim.

To fix this, you need to make sure your brakes have what's called "toe in". Essentially, the brake shoes should be angled in such a way to where the front of the brake shoe touches first. Then, as the rim and brake shoe meet, the brake will flex in and the shoes will grab flush into the rim and not squeak.

Well first you have to dismantle all the bike parts from the bike. Separate wheels from body and take out all the brakes and stickers. Then remove all the old paint and scratches from the bike. To remove the old paint, take a sheet of sand paper and rub it against the parts that you want to paint. Rub until you see a silver metal under the paint. After you have done that, you are ready to paint your bike. (For BEST results i prefer using spray paint for metal, because it sticks better to it.) Take a spray paint and spray the first coat. Than wait 5-10 minutes for paint to dry than spray the second layer. For more darker color, make it 3 layers. So here you go! Enjoy!

yes pretty heavy , an average bmx is around 22-27 lb :) Your really lucky my bike is 37 pound 1/3 of my weight :o

-No average is about 24.5 lbs im getting rid of my bike because it is 28 lbs and way to heavy. My brothers ugly cheap walmart bike is only a pound more than my bike. Get a fit bike or a we the people. No way you can really do anything on a 35 lb bike.

Most will fit, but that's not the same as saying that most can be used. On a bmx you run a higher than average risk of sitting down heavily on the saddle, so you want one that can take the kind of abuse.

17 pounds bec its dangerous for it to be too light

It's more a question of being different than being better.

BMXes are great for short, hard rides with plenty of falls and crashes, they're simple and very robust.

Downside is that they're really inefficient and strenuous to use for longer rides.

MTBs are better for longer, faster rides, but they are bigger and tend to get more beat up in crashes and falls.

pink might be a hard color to find but try walmart and target in the tech deck section of the store

You want to start off with a decent bike make like wethepeople, fit bikeco, kink. you want to look for a bike that isnt to light, but isnt to heavy.. street bikes usually have a small bit of weight to them... a stronger frame is a heavier frame... and if you were to do some of the crazy stuff that street bikers do a light frame would be gone in days. and most of the time it will say whether the bike is best suited for street park or for trails.

Depends on how good you want it, and how many you want to have made. On a department-store BMX, the frame probably cost something USD 5-10 to make.

A high-quality frame, made in a small number, may actually cost USD 1000 to make.

No, they are made out of hi-ten steel which is both weaker and heavier than chromoly. On top of that, the brand is one that is very unknown.

First of all, not all of them have.

Rim brakes, which is the other option, have a few drawbacks. In rain, brake performance gets worse. If you ride in mud the brakes will eventually wear the rim away. If your wheel gets warped brakes won't work that well.

Using disc brakes, which sits in the center of the wheel gets you away from all that.

it is actually quite light i baught mine yesterday

BMX bikes pretty much all have 20"wheels, which makes all frames very similar in size. On top of that BMX is almost entirely ridden standing up, so bike size doesn't matter as much as it does for road riding for instance.

I agree, but get at least a 20.5" frame.

If you like.

what ever size fits them for their intended uses.
