Yes.

You'll need to shorten the chain. It'll make acceleration easier, but it'll cut top speed.

The Cost of a World Superbike is from 150000$ to 200000 $. Basically it depends on how big the manufacturer is.

BMX racer Robbie Morales teamed up with S&M's Chris Moeller to form FitBikeCo in 2000.

Closest thing I can think of that you might mean is probably a dirtbike. They're bigger than BMXes but usually have really compact frames making them smaller than regular MTBs.

BMX race bikes often have only one brake, at the rear. And for a race bike, there's no need to be able to spin the handlebar - so no gyro.

But of course, you could have one installed - if you wish.

Or you could set a bike up with only a front brake. In which case you don't need a gyro either - you just run the brake through the steerer tube.

Best is simply to try harder, borrow better tools. If you're really desperate they can be cut off with an angle grinder, but it will take some time and require a bit of skill.

Yes, you need to be a good rider. The ability to be a decent team mate is useful too.

The first thing I'd look for is rear suspension. MTBs are pretty much the only bikes equipped with that. Next I'd look at the wheels. If it has wide, knobbly tires, odds are it's a MTB. This isn't 100% though, as there are narrow, smooth tires that'll fit a typical MTB rim as well.

Then I'd look at wheel size. Most common for MTBs is 26", AKA 559 mm. Wheel size will be written on the tire sidewall.

Next is the handlebars. MTBs will have either what's called a flat bar or a riser bar. What these two have in common is that the grip part will be pointing almost straight to the side. When you hold it your knuckles should be pointing forward. If the grip part is curved way back (with your knuckles turned pretty much sideways), then it's probably not a MTB.

Brakes: These days most MTBs will have disc brakes.

Frame: MTBs are meant to be able to take some abuse, or at least to look the part, so frame tubing on a new-ish bike will be thick and chunky.

my opinion is yes it has a good reputation and its sold on danscomp

Dirt bike riding requires balance and stamina, the rougher the terrain, the more stamina an balance you'll need, if you decide to race, the more practice the better you will become, several hours a day is a rule of thumb. Actully, you only have to ride (unless your really in to it) 3 times a week.or more if u want.

No.

Depends on the type of bike.

For a road bike - no.

For a hardtail MTB - no.

For a full suspension DH MTB - kinda.

For a townie/dutch bike with fenders, rack and all - yes.

It drives the rear wheel. Used on newer/more expensive bikes instead of a freewheel.

The gear doesn't go anywhere w/o its rider.

In theory, the fastest gear is when you have the chain on the biggest chainwheel/chainring at the front, and on the smallest sprocket at the rear - but this is assuming that the rider is strong enough to keep the cranks turning in this gear.

If this gear is too heavy it might actually be faster to drop to a smaller chainwheel/chainring or a bigger sprocket and pedal a bit faster instead.

The first muscle bike (or high-rise bicycle) sold in stores was the 1963 Huffy "Penguin". It featured a "Solo Polo" banana seat, "Wald" brand high rise handlebars, a cantilever frame, and 20 inch wheels. It was first sold in bike stores in California in Feb/March 1963.

The Schwinn Sting-Ray was the second commercially made muscle bike sold in the U.S.A. it was officially released in June 1963.

Well it depends on,

what type of rider you are,

If you ride like skateparks doing jumps and things,

no,

a good bike for that would be a kink(if you a novice rider becoming better)

The first Bmx bikes were modified schwinn sting rays etc... The swapped out the seat, handle bars, grips, fork, wheels brakes and tires. The fenders, kickstand, chain guard, reflectors were removed for weight. The kids used to ride the dirt tracks that their parents used for Moto cross in the seventies. The kids tried to mimick all the jumps etc of Moto cross. Gary Turner ( founder of GT bicycles ) was an aircraft And auto racing welder and saw how heavy these old modded schwinn sting rays were and they didn't always hold up well. So he built a bike frame for his son from chromoly tubing. The result was a lighter and stronger bike, and it was faster too. After a while he was making frames for their friends kids. He eventually talked with a local shop owner who began to sell his frames.. Business grew and the had to get a warehouse in Santa Ana and GT bicycles was born. There were many others all over the country witnessing this same situation and developing their own frames, such as cooks bro's or hutch etc.... This was how BMX was born. It was simply a children's version of the already popular Motorcycle Moto-cross. BR

Both Redline and Diamond Back have/had full lines of bicycles that range from economy to pro.

Also, what era of Diamond Back are you talking about? Diamond Back used to be owned by WSI. That company went out of business and the brand was sold to Raleigh. The brand was completely missing from the market during the 90's until Raleigh resurrected it in 2003.

Redline, on the other hand, has a bit more of a history than Diamond Back. Diamond Back started out in 1986 just because someone over in Taiwan shipped WSI a shipment of Raleigh frames accidently. Raleigh felt that the freight to ship the frames from WSI to Raleigh would not be worth it, so they told them to keep the frames if they would just be so kind as to peel the stickers off. This got WSI interested in importing bicycles.

Redline has been around much longer. Started in 1970 by Linn Kastan (of Kastan, manufacturer of Kastan and Hoffman and designer of Giant's MOSH frames as well) and Mike Konle building motorcycle frames. In 1974, they started making BMX bikes.

Now, if we're talking current models like Diamond Back's top of the line Reactor Pro ($650) vs. Redline's top of the line Flight Pro ($1200)... well there's no comparison. The DB has a Cro-mo fork, the Redline a carbon fiber fork. The Redline has hollow axle hubs, Sun Envy rims and classic Flight crankset. The DB isn't "bad" though. DB just doesn't make as high end of a bike as Redline. The DB is nice with it's Alienation rims (no spoke eyelets, though) and FSA crankset, but it's no Redline Flight Pro. :-)

Check and see when your local police dept. is having an auction on the un-claimed stolen property. You can get some awesome deals sometimes. also check goodwill for those cheap bikes.. good for jumpin off a ramp into the lake to practice 360's and tailwhips in air..

The easiest way in order to find possibilities to purchase GT BMX bicycles would be to use the store locator functionality available on the official web site. This store locator can be found in the upper right corner on the homepage "GTbicycles". It is entitled "Find a Dealer".
