roxby, you have the last post in 11 of the threads on here. Trying to get your post count up?
I hope you’re taking the piss (as I am with this topic) with regards to pegs on a fixed gear. I guess I was too subtle in my humour. This is a trick bike. It was built for tricks. Trixies belong at lemonparty.org. You wouldn’t race a GP bike in the supercross would you? Everytime someone does a backwards circle, god turns a hot girl into a fatty.
To run a gyro with a king headset you have to grind things, and this frame has no gyro tabs. I now have a brake on there. I just liked the simplicity of no brake you know? It’s kinda like a fixed gear. In bmx you don’t need brakes for 90% of tricks. Hope that sheds some light.
I know nothing about BMX tricks, but have watched my fair share while waiting for my turn at the bowl. I think tricks like stalls and stuff are harder without a brake to stop you solid, so there’d be more skill required, making it a better/harder trick?
Yes and no, bumnut. Manuals and tyre taps etc are going to be harder without brakes as you have to learn to balance better. I guess it makes you less lazy. I don’t know. I would have thought fixed gear riders of all people would understand the brakeless thing.
What about CHAINLESS bmx! I’ve seen that going on. Chainless riders have skill, but personally I’d like to be able to pedal home when I’m done tricking!
Yeah it is a bike not a scooter after all. I take it you skate? If you ever come to Sydney I have a spare couch, and I live right near a sweet street-ish park.
