Depends on what's holding it back.
Humans, like all engines, can only turn the pedals with a certain amount of force and at a certain speed.
If you feel you have power left, but can't spin the pedals any faster, then a bigger sprocket(by the pedals), or a smaller driver (at the rear wheel) will give you more top speed.
But you'll need to push harder to get the bike going.
If you have spin left, but not more power, then going to a smaller sprocket or a bigger driver might give you more top speed. It'll make it easier to get the bike going too.

How do you fix your brakes on your bmx bikes so they don't rub?
The brake setup varies depending on the model of the bike (i.e. what year it was produced in) however it is usually just a standard brake setup... When looking at the handlebars you will see the brake lever (the one you pull to apply the brakes) the rear one is located on the left hand side. Attached to this will be a cable, this cable consists of the black sleeve and inner wire, when you pull on the lever it should pull the inner wire through the cable. Follow this cable down the bike to the rear calipers, these are two brake arms with pads on them that should rub on the rim of the back wheel when you pull on the lever. Since I do not know what your exact problem is with the brakes I suggest you do the following check: 1) make sure that the cable is well lubricated. and slides through the housing easily. 2) the pads are alligned with the rim so that when pulled in they are touching the metal. 3) the pads do not touch the rim unless you are pulling on the lever Finally make sure that the rim is clean of any grease and muck and that the brake pads are clean as well, this make it easier for them to grip the wheel. Try lightly rubbing the pads with some sandpaper to make them grip better. I hope this helps, Good Luck BMX RULES
What is the best online bmx store?
There are many different online retailers for BMX products. Some of these online retailers include The House, J & R BMX Superstore, Eric's Bike Shop, and Empire BMX.
Don't really know what you're asking for here, as that's not a generally acknowledged name. There are freecoaster hubs, which are recognized by that they can be rolled backwards w/o the pedals moving along.

How can I tell what type of BMX bike frames I have?
Generally speaking aluminum frames have larger diameter tubes than steel or titanium bikes, but the most obvious is to test with a magnet. If it sticks it's a steel frame. If it doesn't it's probably aluminum. Titanium frames are still so rare that you are very unlikely to buy one w/o knowing.

Generally, no. Bike parts are a lot more expensive when bought one by one as compared to buying an assembled bike.
The only way you can get away cheaper is if you're very, very good at bargain hunting, and maybe have a stash of parts already.
