BMX Bicycles

The 2009 Fat Bald Man executioner is between 25lb and 26lb. The name is a biit random isn't it.

The quality may be OK, but the level of components is rather low. 2x7 drivetrain is pretty dated, and won't make any sense upgrading. It also has a freewheel, as opposed to the more modern freehub design. Not to be recommended for a heavier rider.

Race bikes usually only have a rear brake and bikes for vert/street usually haven't got any brakes at all. Dual brakes is sensible on a bike that sees some utility use, like being ridden on roads, but removing the brake will (to some) make the bike look more "hard core", or "cooler". And, if you haven't got a rotor/gyro, removing the front brake will let you do barspins w/o the brake cable getting tangled up.

I can't think of a good reason to try, but if you insist: There's stuff called self-vulcanizing rubber tape, which can be wound on as a base. After that you could wrap the bars in colorful strings or whatever. Make sure that whaever you put on there stays on well, as grips coming off while riding could lead to serious trouble.

BMX bikes usually haven't got gear hubs. Cheapest way to get one is to buy a whole wheel with the hub you want built into it already from the beginning. Of courese you can have someone replace the hub in the existing wheel, which is every biut as much work as building a new wheel from scratch. You'll also need a set of clamps and brackets for the shifter cable. You're probably restricted to an internally geared hub, as externally geared hubs pretty much require a frame that's built to take them from the beginning.

A sprocket don't really have "parts", it's all one piece. I suppose you could talk about the teeth, maybe even tips and troughs, and the axle hole or whatever. But seeing it's all one solid unit it wouldn't be much point.

I don't think a pro would use a £80 Bmx bike lol

do a backflip

In the drive train you have the front chainwheel/ring and the rear sprocket that both engage the chain. The pointy bits on sprocket and chainwheel which allows the chain to grip are called teeth. The ratio between the tooth counts is what determines which gear ratio the bike has.

There are too many perfectly decent bmx makers for that to be reliably answered.

For the same kind of money, you very much get the same quality bike regardless of brand.

One might have a better frame. Another has better wheels. Which you think is better depends on personal preference rather than actual differences.

it is one of the best mountain bikes on the market today.

The contestants competing in the BMX X Games are not paid a salary. They compete to win prizes and prize money.

Fit street 2 b.c lighter frame but i wouldn't recommend getting a Free Agent Crown Imperial

to be honest gt biek frames suck, their company is just poor and they need money for their thirty pound frames. that is why they are about 300 dollars and 800 for a complete bike get a premium if you are looking for a good bmx company

Don't really know what you mean by a trick bike. But generally kids bikes tend to be rather crappy. Kids will outgrow their bikes fairly fast, which makes the parents unwilling to spend money on them. As a result, they're often heavy, with poor parts poorly put together.

For a trick bike you'll want something lighter, stronger and more suited to hard riding.

And as bike parts are least expensive when bought as a complete bike it doesn't make sense money-wise to spend a lot of money on a complete bike make over. Better then just go for a new bike.

1. clean rims with rubbing alcohol and brillo pad/scotch brite
2. get new brake pads
3. have a look at your cabling, cables and cable sheaths should be as short as possible while still making smooth bends.

You need the right kind of hub for that.

If you haven't, buying a new rear wheel - with the right kind of hub - is probably the sensible option.

This question is too general. You'll have to specify where you think the noise is coming from: the chair, the gears, the wheels and so on.

Neither or both. Both Raleigh and Apollo have a full line of bicycles in every category under the sun.

U can buy one on Craigslist (used)

Most grips are just rubber sleeves that are slid onto the bars. While this is fine for most riders, some have issues with grips sliding or twisting.

For those riders there are lock-on grips which come together with two metal collars for each grip. The collars go around the grip and squeezes it against the bar, hopefully keeping it in place no matter what the rider decides to do.

If it's a disc brake bike, then Rotor is another name for the brake disc.

If it's a BMX rotor may be another name for gyro / detangler - the thingy that lets you spin the bars on a brake-equipped bike w/o making a mess of the brake wires.

by sturdy if you mean durable,any bike $300+ will probably last a couple years(depending on how hard you ride).
