BMX Bicycles

they began in 1970 by Mike Konle and Linn Kastan

its good for the price and the frame is strong but the brakes are weak

BMX means Bicycle Moto cross, with X used as a short for cross. It's called that because it started with people riding bicycles in a way that was similar to how motocross and dirtbikes were used.

same as normal the barings on 1st then u need the spacers to stop it rubbin the top of the frame

Very much depends on what kind of MTB you're looking for, and what you're ready to spend on it. A high-end XC(cross country) MTB can be around 20-22 lbs(less than 10 kg). For an FS DH MTB (full suspension downhill) around 35 lbs(15 kg) is more to be expected. Here is a bunch of mountain bike frames so you can see the difference in weight ratios....

Kink, is a really good bmx brand, isn't very expensive and very light, also Fitbikeco is really good, go to www.danscomp.com its like the best bmx website out there, theres lots of bike brands to look at too.

ye its really light not super light but its good for trick skate park

The RL340, while lighter than Redlines' low end BMX bikes, doesn't quite tiptoe past the scales like the Proline Series and the Flight Series bicycles.

But, the RL340 is an incredibly durable bike for the money.

The main black car used by the bad guys throughout the movie was a 1970's american Ford LTD. The crime boss's car was a light blue british Jaguar.

Depends entirely on why it's wobbling, but I'm guessing that the wheel has gone out of true. This can happen either b/c the spokes have gone slack, or b/c of the rim getting damaged in a hard landing or a crash of some kind.

Wheels that have gone out of true b/c of spokes going slack can be trued with good results, but rims that have gotten badly bent by an outside force will rarely become particularly useful again.

Trueing a wheel is something that can be done at home, but it takes time, patience and a bit of skill.

I'll post a link to a site with more info below.

Most BMX have sprockets with freewheels as one unit. This means that you need a special puller to grip notches on the freewheel to be able to unscrew the old one. The new one can be started by hand and will tighten down by itself as you pedal. If you have a low-end one with a built-in coaster brake other rules apply and you're probably looking at something with a lockring arrangement.

It depends how many pieces it is in! Also note there are many specialist tools required.

If it is completely disassembled, I would do it in the following order:

1 - Seat post and saddle so you can clamp it into a work stand without fouling cables

2 - Main bearings (bottom bracket, headset)

3 - Forks, stem and handlebars

4 - Cranks and chainset

5 - Front and rear derailleurs

6 - Brake calipers/cantilievers

7 - Brake/gear levers and grips

8 - Cables (you should be able to adjust them correctly without the chain on)

9 - Chain

10 - Pedals (so you can spin the cranks easily!)

11 - Wheels/tubes/tyres

11 - Adjust!

Of course there is far more to it than that summary, but that would require an entire book.

It's a thing that sits below the handlebar and is connected to the brake wires. WIth a gyro you can turn the handlebar a full turn w/o the brake wires getting all tangled up.

I recentley got a Diamond Back Joker bike and I like it. It has a nice weight and it is good for medium-sized riders hoping to advance a little more in the BMX world. I recomend this bike to whoever is medium-sized and ready to advance in their skills.

Sounds like the freewheel (the clutch prom). You need a special tool to remove it in order to be able to replace it with a new one you can find the tool at a shop near you most of all have them

woodward, PA,

It´s the Stem, it holds the bars and match with the frame with the help of a headset.

If the bike is complete right now, easiest thing is to read on the tire sidewalls. Somewhere there should be embossed the tire size. You can usually go a bit either wider or narrower on the same rims, but you can't change diameter.

If you find them, use the millimeter size. Inch sizes can sometimes be misleading, with several different sizes using the same numbers. There's about five different 26" for isntance which can't be mixed.

if your planing on buying just a FRAMES&MBIKES.COM have it so you can design your own frame of top tube length , bb height , chainstay length and head tube angel along with colors and clear coats to chose from plus you get to make your own serial number but that s only for a frame if you plan on buying it

First of all, learn how to spell the word 'sponsor'.

You've got to understand that when a company sponsors you, they are investing in you, as a walking, talking, bmxing advertisement. This means that there is more to being sponsored than just being good. Some ways to get sponsored are winning or impressing talent scouts in competitions, or sending off 'sponsor me' tapes, or putting them on youtube. You have to make the company feel like once they sponsor you, they will see a significant rise in sales or popularity, so show them how you would constantly wear their shirts, talk about them, reccomend them and use their parts.

However, how this may be your goal, i definitely WOULD NEVER want anyone to just set out to be sponsored, you will have some dissapointment if you end up sponsored, even more dissapointment if you don't end up sponsored, and lose your core love and interst for BMX along the way.

The people who enjoy and get the most out of being sponsored are those who don't even set out to be sponsored, such as Garret Reynolds and Chad Kerley.

20" or 24" wheel bikes may be suitable. 24" bikes will be better for getting around but are not true BMX's (street trick or dirt race bikes)

True BMX bikes are measured in Top Tube Length- all BMX's hav00e approximately the same standover.

24" BMX bikes are considered "dirt cruisers" with the exception of a handful of street trick bikes made for adults over 6'
