‼️QUESTION‼️ Hiya brody, i got me a question: How do i know if my Haro Downtown got nuff clearance for a 2.4? I just got into bmx and got no clue bout what im doin, ty
I just purchased a 20 in Fat Tire folding e bike, I've been researching and looking up stuff ,this brings back such awesome memories, I'm 53 me and my best buds were so into BMX in our teens, we had Diamondback supergoose mongoose GT Redline it was awesome ! even the parts we used to have I'm starting to remember again I just ordered a pair of odi mushroom grips for my new bike and a laid-back seatpost, 80s BMX … nothing was better, I'm really interested what the new school is looking like as far as BMX . I can't do it anymore but I love to watch it awesome fun guys
I totally rebuilt my old school haro frame with nothing but new stuff and the fact that u said u can't do it only means u put bikes together u do not build bikes poser
You can actually use a 1 1/8” fork on a old school 1” frame . It takes mix and matching headset parts and free balling the bearings. I ve done several times works just fine. Let me know if you want pics. I just built a 1978 mongoose with SE landing gear threadless forks. It works like a dream bro.
Mod up or loose out boy on the old school. Easy as mate. Just tell everyone the truth. I put 990 mount on my xxl robinson and re chromed it at 17. Was easy to do. Just my time and electro plating. But man it worked so well and like a dime to stop. Also upgrade the robinson dropouts to 8mm for racing and dirtbiking. Re chromed again and was the best bike with balance I've ever riden.
Only thing i haven't found is a sealed bearing hub on the 1 inch to work with a gen 1 gyro so far. Tell me if someone has done it. I will buy that and tell everyone to buy it
for the record… half the shit this guy has been sayin "won't fit" ? it will if you actually know wtf your doing… I grew up poor and built 98.99% of my shit from a garbage can… if you want it bad enough, you'll find a way to make it work without it bein all jAnKy… been there done it ! lmao
I converted my 1979 Schwinn 36-36 from threaded to threadles forks… of course I had to trim the inside of the bearing cups usings a dremel… Very very close fit btw !.. also had to do away with the bearing casings (tins) and straight run the bearings… if you've went this far, USE THE BEST HIGH GRADED GREASE YOU CAN FIND to make it last as long as possible. PS: Water Resisitant Grease Is The Way To Go ! Don't Be CHEAP Buy The Good Shit .!.. =_=
I own a Hutch Pro Racer frame and a We The People Stud flatland bike and a Specialized Vegas Pro bike. I like em all,but my oldschool bikes are my favorites. I have alot of bikes
I'm 39 and getting my 10 year old into BMX… Things have definitely changed since cruising my GT Interceptor in the early 90's. This video made allot of sense and was clear. Thanks for the videos.
The mid 90s was the cut off after that BMX bikes have no style or originality anymore. They all look the same. I’d buy or build an old bike before a new one every time.
Hey Alfredo I bought a mongoose Cali special repop out of the box it was pretty easy to assemble but I stuck with the diaconpe Mx brakes my rear brake only one side moves when I press the lever the other side seems to be stuck and won’t move, I’ve played around with it but just can’t figure it out A video on the new repop diacompe brakes would be cool Cheers Silas
You can move to slotted axles to make new school rims to fit old school bikes if you get the proper slot size.
BMX is fascinating as its just so damn technical and im talking old school and new school.. i bought myself a Mongoose Pro XL and its AMAZING
Old school bikes, the lighter the better. We use to crack frames on a regular! They were racing bikes
I prefer 80s BMX/Freestyle bikes.
New school with new technology is much better(not all new school) but without the grace of old school, period!
Love this. Great explanation.
❤❤❤❤❤
Very helpful video, thanks!
Anyone know what’s up with the PK Ripper 2006 team model headset!? Can’t find headset to fit? Help

1 1/8 threaded headsets are hard to find, good ones at least.
The heads did some dirty shit making it impossible to rebuild a bike
Have to ask, if "old school" dates back to the early '80's to the mid 90's(?), would my 1978 Torker be considered "antique"?
So it’s all down to money as usual ie; change the sizes, make them buy new parts. It’s an old trick!

PS i love your shop…..that is the way a specialty shop SHOULD look!
one is a true BMX race bike. the other is a 'bmx' park trick bike…….total diff concepts

I found an 85 MCS styler frame in my garbage truck. Got anything for one of those? I really need a full crankset and rear freewheel.
Great video!
NEw wheels fit my 86 mongoose I do use a little thinner tire tho
I still ride my 86 mongoose fs1 freestyle I never bought a new bike it's the only one I'll own besides my old black diamond back
That chap has forgotten to take the washing instruction label from his new baseball cap. Gosh, golly. How embarrassing. Ahem
The old school bmx bike is better! I dont like that stupid tiny sprocket the new bmx bikes have.
biggest difference between old school and new school is new school has no style no soul.

Hey have to say profile do a hub axle in titanium and cromoly to 10mm/38 from the 14 mm. Maybe for thier hubs but i haven't checked to other hubs

There's now lots of connectors and adapters for all parts new school or old school for any bike
Old school as in 2005?

Can I send in a bike and have u build it for me
