What age is a 20 inch bmx for?
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 =)
Which way do put a crank on a bmx?
This question is a bit unclear, it doesn't tell if you're:
A) just talking about the crank arm,
or:
B) if you want the chain to go on the left side
If it's A, then it depends on which type of bottom bracket you've got, it's different if it's cottered, square taper, splined, or BMX style. Cottered cranks use wedges to hold them on, square taper use bolts that go into the BB axle. Splined can use either a square taper style axial screw or a pinch bolt. BMX tends to use pinch bolts. Then there are cranks where the left crank arm is permanently bonded to the bb axle
if it's B, it's not really advisable to use a right sided crank on the left side of the bike. There's something called precession, which tends to cause the pedal to come off.
Left side cranks use a counter-clockwise pedal thread to avoid the problem.

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.
Is it better to have brakes on a bmx bike?
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.
How do you put on bmx stunt pegs?
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
How do you measure a bmx bike?

What are good mountain bike companies?
i would have to say trek would have to be one of the top bike brands due to the fact there one of the only brands to give a life time warranty and they offer a range of bike from the serious road/mountain/downhill cyclist to the causal commuter and are comfortable to ride and where ever you get one from a dealer will do a fit to make the as comfortable for u as they can so that's why i recommend trek bikes just

What bike racks will fit a 2004 Volvo XC90?
depends on what rack you have.
I think all the XC90s came with the factory rack, but no crossbars.
There are 3 kinds of crossbars:
1. Thule standard crossbars (like LB50s) - these will take any thule load carriers (e.g. bike racks, ski racks, etc.
2. T-track crossbars - these will also take all thule load carriers but may require an additional adapter (Xadapt9 I think)
3. Wing profile bars - these will also take Thule load carriers, and I believe the track in them is like the T-track design. I ended up klugeing mine by modifying the hardware that came with the bike racks.
