R@ndomH3ro Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 been riding off and on since I was a kid. I just like bmx, riding around, trying shit out, really casual. But mostly I am really getting into fixing them and building up bikes. I am really thinking of opening up my own shop and doing pretty much what I do in here. Giving advice to new riders and getting them exposed to an awesome hobby. Even thinking of getting into welding my own frames...but we will see. My brother in law is the same, he is 34 and rides...but mostly he trolls bmx forums and gives advice, he also builds up some awesome oldschool 80s bikes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R@ndomH3ro Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 ZOO YORK BOMB DOWN BROADWAY Yo Random whats up with them tiny ass sprockets I see when I look at different videos? The small sprockets are for lighter weight. Everyone is now on this light weight bike kick. Also it allows you to accelerate faster for tricks.

*PROTOCOL* Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Went to take some trash out just now and found this bike in the alley! Only thing really wrong is a flat tire and brake pads worn down. I'm pretty sure its a walmart bike made after mongoose started making two different quality level lines. Still a good find. I'll use it as a guest bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...BeerAd632... Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would leave it, its such a hassle to get them off ...LOLz...i know weve all had our bikes stolen once when we were younger... but, also, at the time "retaliation" deemed perfect.... and im sure weve all at least once liberated a bike... and needed to remove stickers, to alter the bikes look.... ive always found windex, and some steel wool to be great for removing stickers/decals... and its the best, if you can get the decals peeled all in one piece... forks are bad, cuz people lay their bikes down, often times, on curbs, and rails.... so, there will be "chips" or dings in those stickers, which make it difficult to remove them decals... thats where the windex comes in.... and after the whole sticker is removed, and if theres any sticky residue leftover,jus spray some window cleaner on it, then utilize that nice lil chunk o' steel wool.... also, steel wool works great for polishin and shinin up them chrome pieces....along with window cleaner as well.... so, along with them stock window cleaner tips, jus rack the whole can.... ----edit: factory stickers/decals come off alot easier than an aftermarket/self applied sticker... which make it a little bit tougher for anyone else to alter the appearance of the bike...

watson Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 use a hair dryer/heat gun over the sticker for 10-15 seconds and peel it up the heat of the dryer allows the stickiness to separate from the surface with little no residue i need to get a bike again soon. ever since my shit was stolen i haven't had the drive to get one again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R@ndomH3ro Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 I got a Pantera frame from some kid with tons of vinyal stickers on em. I did the whole WD-40 soaking and peeled it off. Worked pretty well, I did have a little sticky residue but the windex thing took care of that. And gyros are crappy to take off, well not really..but I generally hate anything to do with brakes. dialing brakes to work how I like em sucks ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD40(water displacement) is okay for relubin the stickiness, but will ruin the paint gloss on your frame.... eDit:--- hows that Pantera frame from FLYbikes treatin ya??? i hear good and bad bout them....

R@ndomH3ro Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 My Pantera is awesome! Its a 21' top tube and has really low/short geometry. If you like slammed and low seats and short drop outs its awesome. Its easy on the pick up and light as hell and has all kinds of intergrated goods, also my first time with Spanish BB's and I like em alot. Also has CS brake mounts which are squirrelly with my small gearing but it works (chain kind of rubs on the tension spring mount but no big thing) So far its going strong no dents, I heard cause of the offset tube size that they dent easy but so far nothing. I like it a lot, really rides smooth. Like I said earlier I hate anything to do with brakes so that is why I hate gyros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
