Where can you find separate pegs for your flick trix without buying a Shop Set?
I had the exact same problem but in the end i just found someone who happened to be selling flick trix pegs (on their own) for $1.00.
But there isn't always someone selling them so to be honest there isnt really an official way of doing so
How much is a 2 hand bmx bike worth?
No way to tell.

What effect will it have if I put a bigger sprocket on my bicycle?
First you need to be clear about what you're talking about.
In normal bike-speak the sprocket(s) go at the rear wheel.
Either only one, or a stack of them in the shape of a freewheel or a cassette.
Up by the pedals you have the chainwheel(s) / chainrings(s).
Now, for some strange reason, often in BMX-speak, the sprocket goes at the front, and what you have at the back is called a driver.
But let's stick to regular bike-speak, sprocket = rear, chainring = front.
In this case, going to a bigger sprocket will make the bike easier to pedal.
You get more power, but less speed.
The rear wheel will turn less for each turn of the pedals. Good for getting going, bad for going fast.
Going to a bigger chainring will have the opposite result.
More speed, less power.
You'll need to push hard to get the bike started, but your top speed can be higher. The rear wheel will turn more for each turn of the pedals.
If you get both a bigger chainring and a bigger sprocket, the changes will kinda-sorta cancel each other out. Not exactly, unless you get them both proportionally equally bigger. But pretty much.
Let's the tooth count is 12 rear and 36 front, and you change to 14 rear 42 front.
This time nothing really changes as 36/12=3 and 42/14=3. The same number of turns at the wheel for each turn of the pedals.
No because the bike would brake evry time so no
Will a 1985 montecarlo trunk fit on a 1987 montecarlo?
all 1981 to1988 Monte Carlo parts are interchangable. All door glass and windshields are interchangable for the same year cutlasses,regals and grand prixs
Does BMX make 24'' bikes with petel brakes?
BMX isn't a manufacturer, it's type of bicycle - just like sneaker is a type of shoe. BMX doesn't make any bicycles. Bicycle manufacturers make BMX bikes.
And pedal brakes aren't that good on a performance bike, as you have to wait until your pedals are in the right position before you can brake.
But it's possible that you can find a BMX-looking kids/juvenile bike with a pedal brake. Don't expect it to do particularly well if it gets ridden hard though.
Which bmx Should I Get... Eastern Nitrous Piston 2011 Or Blank Media 2011?
The nitrous piston is a lighter bike, so yes you should get it, although if you could find the blank media cheaper I'd get that one.
Can i fit 24'' wheels on a normal bmx bike?
No. A wheel that's 2" bigger in radius won't clear the fork crown, and probably not the chain stays and the brake bridge either.

Is a 20 top tube bmx bike very big?
If your 5.4-5.10ft tall, then its ideal. I ride a 20 and im barely 5.4, but I've had no problems with it.
Are the dk bikes at wamart real?
Walmart cant sell shady stuff. Their stuff is real but check it's the model youre expecting and not some cheaper version that you only realise when you get it home.
1080 is a trick where you and the bike rotate(like a pirouette) during a jump. one full turn is 360 (degrees of rotation), two full turns are 720 (degrees of rotation) and 1080 is 3 full turns of rotation.
How do you install bar ends on a bmx bike?
Bar ends are very easy to install, they clamp around the outside of the bar and are tightened down with a screw that usually takes an Allen key. First you need to make room for them though, by moving brake/shifter levers and grips inwards. If your grips are sealed at the end you need to open them up. If you have end plugs in your bar you need to remove them to fit the bar ends. They can be reinserted once the bar ends have been slid on.
Things to note:
bar ends only fit bars with a 7/8" diameter
bar ends are rarely used for BMX
bar ends are not to be used pointing upwards/backwards to provide a more relaxed riding posiiton. In this angle, they pose a considerable risk for injury to the rider. If it's another position you're after, you're better off looking for another solution maybe another bike.
Will you brakes fit v brake mounts?
if this is about a BMX - then no. The distance from the pivots to the brake track on the rim is wrong. The width may be off too.
Why should BMX riding be an Olympic sport?
