shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I can't ride a 20", I look ridiculous on them. The OM is nice, if you get a chance to try one out you'll be pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZOO Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 what if i need to traverse rocky roads with possible regions of glass shards. I still don't get a mountain bike? bmx is the way to go? bmxs are equipped to handle all terrain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A 26" with 3" tubeless tires? Where are you going to be with so much glass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Its a joke, why the fuck would anyone get a 29 cruiser? Mountain bikes are for weiners because 29ers make the rootiest trails feel like asphalt. imagine what they make asphalt feel like. and yea, okay.

GZOO Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A 26" with 3" tubeless tires? Where are you going to be with so much glass? a road where people crash frequently and another place which is kinda like a junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get a mountain bike? bmx is the way to go? bmxs are equipped to handle all terrain? Man, bmx is like skateboards. Really not ment to ride around like a bike. I ride my 20" everyday all over the place cause I really like bmx and the way it feels. I also bunny hop over everything I see and try tricks, so I always leave super early to make up the time. But if you are just going to use it to commute or whatever I think that getting a bmx is a wrong choice. Unless you want to get super strong cause you will have to pedal like a mother to get anywhere. Flatland bikes are even worse to get unless you are a midget that likes 18" top tubes (even though most flatlands are those nice chrome jobs with the tight mag wheels) Race bikes arent really worth it unless you are a bmx racer those high gearings make for hard pedaling but make you super fast on the sprint. Cruisers are the same...they are made to race and other cruisers that they make now a days are really shitty versions of single speed bikes, and are mostly made for novelty.

R@ndomH3ro Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 thanks for the heads up Yeah man, if where you are going is more then 5 miles away. I would recommend getting a regular bike. I ride EVERYWHERE on my bmx. I also have a slammed seat so bend your mind around that one! My knees sometimes hurt, but I still ride cause I love my bmx. only bike i know that I also can go anywhere on...curbs/kids/small creatures in the way, hop over em. Raining? hop on the train, my bike is so small i just lean it up and it doesnt get in anyones way. If you like bmx a lot then get one, they are a really versitile bike and you can go ANYWHERE on it cause of the small size. My brother in law even has a vid of this bike messenger riding a 20 inch. Dude was going places that no other messanger can go. BMX bikes rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckPoint Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I just changed my set up a little i had the whole set up but replaced the handlebars with the eastern nitrous bars and bout to get new forks dont know what ones to get though any reccomendations?

GZOO Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 yeah man I'm trying to get a bike to go from where I'm to krome avenue. you remember where thats at? Its a hell of a trek, I think I'm better off getting a mountain bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland I dont know about flatland bikes and what is hot right now. But, are you running a front brake? I personnaly like Odyssey forks (I got classic dirt on my bike) but the Flat or Directors forks might be for you Directors dont have mounts for front brakes though so the Flat might be good for you. The thing I like about them is that they already come with a headset race so you dont have to get one http://www.danscomp.com/353244.php?cat=PARTS They sell them on Dan's Comp for 130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a hell of a trek, I think I'm better off getting a mountain bike. Probably, 20inchers now a days come with super small gearing and are not really efficent for going long distances. Althought you can get one with big gearing on it, it going to be hard to find parts because right now everyone is buying and selling what is "trendy" now a days. But like I said I ride everywhere on mine. I rode like 17 miles a couple of days ago standing up on my little bike, but that takes YEARS of riding bmx to get that comfortable to ride everywhere on it. Maybe you can get a Cruiser...but I would recommend either getting an oldschool race cruiser or building one yourself. The cruisers they are coming out with now a days are novelty bikes that look and have really shitty components. SE I think still only makes the best complete cruiser. They are a company built on race bmx so they dont skimp on parts like others do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZOO Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'd prefer a bmx cause i like how they look way better than mountain bikes, but i dont want the bike to crap out on me either and be stuck there or walk back. I'll look more into the se cruisers. Price is also an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@ndomH3ro Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 You know what? You probably can get a 20", if I can ride a 20inch in GERMANY (home of the 45 degree angle hills) then you can ride one in flat ass Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 That 26" SE is currently the best thing going I've seen for the money ($750). sneak, keep in mind I'm an ex-messenger in the market for a basket bike- it's only going to be ridden on street carrying weight and everything about it (parts, geometry) seems right for the job. Most of the other prebuilt 26" SS bikes I've seen are super slammed huck bikes or slightly modified dual slalom rigs...that's fine if that's what you're after but they wouldn't function well as work bikes. I've considered getting a $200 Dyno beach cruiser and slapping a basket on that, but the parts on them are so shitty that the basket would outlast the bike and there's really no point in that.

R@ndomH3ro Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah SE is the only company that makes good cruisers. I was just joking on the 29er, but you are a big dude. Really that 29er is a novelty bike that SE makes. I really dont see anyone riding it, why when you probably get a better bike made by someone that is more into those types of bikes. BMX companies need to stick to BMX But FBM does make an awesome track bike frame that is solid as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@ndomH3ro Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 shai can probably ride harder and faster then me...and it makes me sad. damn you and your years of messaging legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I doubt that, but thanks for saying so. I'm just stubborn and I'm nowhere near as fast as I used to be...but I still have the bike handling skills down, that shit never goes away. Speaking of which, why don't you get a cross bike? With all the training and conditioning you've had along with the off road experience, you'd probably kick ass at cross. It's fun, too.

R@ndomH3ro Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 meh, I like my little bmx. Its fun to ride and I can hop over stray cats, its awesome. My bike handling is okay, I am getting better, Germans seem to not care about stepping in front of a oncoming bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Break '92 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'd say if you absolutely have to have a BMX bike, but are too big or whatever to ride a 20", get a 24" cruiser. I used to have a General Lee, I thought it was great. I just might try to get another one or something similar. DK started making some 26" bikes that are basically single gear mountain bikes with a freewheel. I could fuck with one of those. Now I have an old beater 14 speed road bike. At first it was awkward as shit, now it carries my fat ass along and up hills at a brisk pace. Its nice to have gears, I got rid of those uncomfortable clipless pedals that had about as much surface area as a large matchbook and put some BMX platform pedals on it. And it will never have a fixed conversion, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You can easily bunny hop a cross bike. I've seen guys clear 8" obstacles on the course, it's pretty cool....you just need the right wheels. Cross is ridiculously fun to ride and watch in its own way. I think you'd be good at it...you should go check out some races when the season starts, I'm sure they have them where you live.
