BMX Bicycles

I'm sorta confused by what you mean by this, but it hasn't been answered yet so ill try and help.

I mean, all bikes can have breaks i think, im kind of thinking you are talking about fixed gears, (single speeds, fixies, etc) which are often seen with no breaks, or sometimes only a front break. the reason for this is that for a fixed gear a back break is redundant. fixed gear riders stop by stopping the forward motion of the bike by pushing backwards. this uses the law of motion that an object in motion must stop before changing direction. thus, by trying to make the bike go backwards, it will stop before it ever does.

because a fixed gear can do this, having a back break is just weird.

however, you can by all means put a back break on one. i have a motobecane messenger which is fixed/free wheel convertable and it came with a front and back break kit. i have mine fixed, and only the front break on which is all i need for riding around the city. my friend has the same bike and has it on free wheel so he can coast, and its still a road bike, and yes, he has both breaks on.

so short answer, yes they can.

free wheel road bikes, i recommend a back and front break

fixed gear bikes.. you don't really need a back break. i recommend having the front though for emergencies.

_____________________________

This person is talking about backbreak bikes. These are breaks that are activated by peddling backwards on your bike. Most childhood bikes had these kinds of breaks. I think they're better than handbreaks because your legs are stronger and give you more breaking power. And, yes, some manufacturers do make backbreak bikes.

A good race mountain bike would cost you about $6,000 to $10,000

Red looks great with carmel,purple,navy,some grays and nudes.Personally i think gold,olive green,tan,orange,and black.If you want more lighter and brighter colors then yellow,pink,torquoise,bright purple,orange,and white.Also navy,and hot pink could be a good choise.If you chose green then make sure its a olive green if not it looks like christmas colors.Olive green looks really good with red and if you dont belive me then look it up.All these colors are amazing with red.

It's ok I have one. The only problem is that it's kinda heavy so I suggest you use it for vert rather then street. But otherwhise really, really exilent!!!! I love mine but the brakes suck like a vacume!!!!!!

It got popular enough to be requested, and it fulfilled the requirements for an olympic sport, with national and international organization and competitions, so it got added to the list.

Sure you can. If it has external gears they may become clogged with snow during certain temperatures. If you've got SPD pedals they too can become clogged. If you're using rim brakes, expect braking ability to be poor. If it's really cold the freewheel mechanism may refuse to engage leaving you with no drive. If you've lubed your brake/shifter cables, or maybe gotten water in them they too can become stuck in severe cold. If you've got a suspension fork/seat post/frame, expect it to become a lot stiffer in cold conditions. Don't worry though, all these problems will clear when tha bike gets warm again.

One issue is tire pattern, for snow you want a fairly open pattern with big studs. What works in mud usually performs OK in snow as well.

Depending on how firm the snow is you might get better traction and control by letting out as much air as possible out ot tie tires w/o bottoming out. This widens your footprint and might be enough to keep you on the snow as opposed to sinking through and bogging down.

Don't forget to dress sensibly. Bring an extra sweater so you won't get cold if the ride takes longer than expected.

Bicycle helmets come in a variety of sizes, which is important because proper fit is essential to their effective protection. Aside from toddler and child sizes, adult bike helmets can generally be bought in any size from extra small through extra large. By measuring one's head size and referencing a manufacturer's chart, one can determine the best fit.

Bmx's don't come in sizes. They are all one size.

The question is a bit unclear. Usually it's not the fork that's integrated, but the headset. And integrated headsets will only fit in a special kind of head tube not usually found on a standard frame. Forks OTOH can usually take more than one type of headsets.

only if the stem will work for the fork there are two kinds of forks 1 inch have what is called a goose neck stem. which you can find some low end mountain bikes and also little kids bikes. then there's the regular stem which has to be tighten down on the fork itself it doesn't go into like on the goose neck stems but if you get the right stem for the right fork it will work if you still don't understand my explanation theres alot of bike shops that will also show you the difference

I like MirraCo Bikes. I have an 07 FiveStar Park that's pretty much indestructible. Their frame designs, albeit a little heavy when fully equipped with pegs, brakes, etc., are tough. I'm yet to hurt my bike, I've had it for a few years now, and it's completely stock expect for the seat and pegs.

In short, yes. They're good bikes, especially for the price. But note, it also depends on how abusive you are to it. Like anything, if you're trying to break it, you probably will ;)

Good luck.

Free style BMX can be done by all ages. But it looks strange if you are quite old as in 50+ but it can be done by all ages so long as you can ride a bike and can take falling off a few times. The age of people who do this sport can vary but it it is usually quite young people who do it such as 8-30 is most people who are any good at it can keep on going and there are some schools for it in america. I personally find that freestyle on a mountain bike is better but it has to have a low frame to be sucessful. If i helped you at all add points to my account please (^_^) =) Pratley 2k9 =)

i am 14 going on 15, im 5''7' height and 9.5 stone in weight and i have an United Recruit RN1 2011 BMX which weighs 25.5 pounds, i am relatively strong for my size, not MEGA strong but slightly stronger then average and my BMX is perfect (FOR ME) ^_^* but remember it all depends on your size ,weight and strength! E.g. Weak Guy + Lighter BMX = BETTER :) Hope This Helps!

You can get bmx ramps at outdoor stores like in fortlauderdale there is "Out Door World" and even some "Sports Athourity" have bmx ramps but if any thing else search for a website to buy bmx ramps online!

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.

If you think you'll ever be riding it on the road, then having a front brake is a sensible thing. If you only are going to use it for sport and trick riding in a fenced-off area, then you can do without one if you're a good enough rider.

That'd be difficult. Pegs are usually used om BMX bikes for trick riding, and they often have oversize wheel axles to be strong enough for that. Disc brakes are usually used for bikes that travel faster than BMXes, (thus bigger need for good brakes) and those bikes aren't used for grind and flatland tricks that require pegs. In short: you'll have difficulties finding disc hubs that can have axles that can take pegs.

yes because the bike is a nice light weight bike that is easy to do tricks and are worth the $150-$200 price

When you stand the unicycle up in front of you, if it is at the right hight, it should come up to your bellybutton.
