A lot of people get into BMX to ride like their idols. If you ended up with a beginner-level bike... chances are it is not going to be street-specific. Don't worry though, we can fix this. Let's go over those upgrades.

Freecoaster is not a better option. Everyone is comfortable with something different. I've been riding street bmx for 10 years and never thought of buying a freecoaster (as well as plastic pegs).

Been riding street for 30 years. Still like a cassette, but dig plastic pegs.👍🏻 That’s the best thing about freestyle,this is no right and wrong 😊

@@DuhYaThinkplastic pegs are just easier to ride. Riding gets harder every day as you get older so I recommend everyone to pop plastic pegs. I was a die hard metal pegs guy for over 15 years but everything is just so much more pleasant on plastics and you’re damaging spots much less. I’m riding my first coaster now (I bought a wtp hybrid so i can switch it up to a cassette when I’m out riding jumps) and the pain in my knees is gone. Biking takes a toll on your health and I will personally do anything I can to ensure that I can continue riding for as long as possible.

I borrowed a bike with freecoaster from my friends a couple of times and it's didn't ride well. I guess i prefer oldschool. I wouldn't change the sound of my rear hub and metal pegs when they hit the rail for anything. :D Everyone prefer something different and that's fine.. @@malakaideford7876

Recently bought 2018 WTP Nova 2nd hand for pretty cheap hardly ridden so cant complain. Got my 4 Odyssey Mpegs now installed ... new wtp 17m socket seat post and cult pivotal seat .. new bar ends... cut the bars by half a inch each side.. ..been riding for a month ... need to work out what hub guards fit my bike ...being the factory rims that came with the Nova ... Source BMX in uk said about the universal hubs but i didnt like the look of them ... anyone ride a 2018 nova that has hub guard fitted and can point me in right direction? Doug keep up the good work - left a video idea on the live stream comments.

Talks about whats better for street yet rides park an dirt?🤔 last I checked it doesn't matter if your bike is set up a certain way park or street because you are still riding THE same stuff in either landscape if you got wax pegs guards then have at it you are a bmx rider there is no specific type bike or rider or riding type. I've seen racing an dirt frames bikes ride both street an park A street rider can ride park A park rider can ride street A dirt rider can ride race A Race rider can ride dirt...and so on. Also freecoster has no fast time restriction to engage like a Cassette so to say a freecoaster is better for street is like comparing an apple to an orange neither of them are better for one or the other because you can do the same tricks on both its just freecoasters lack what Cassettes don't also a freecoaster is more likely to fail in the clutch housing of the hub to where you can't pedal

Cinema VF and VR are the best universal hub guards i have found, they go on the outside on the dropouts, but if you have a male front axle usually it isn’t long enough for the peg and hub guard so a female hubs will help out
@chumpy.
@chumpy. 2 жыл бұрын
grinding with a front male axle shouldnt really happen, female hub with female axle should be a no brainer and is the standard for all street bmxs nowadays because they're way stronger and if they happen to break, they're really easy to replace.

I ripped off the thread from my inner axle because of the cinema guard. Best universal guard you can get is eclat servo in my opinion. Thin enough to go inside the dropouts, steel and last forever.

Idea🤔. Compare mid level complete reliable bikes. Full chro-mo, full sealed, 2x double wall. Maybe bonus points for hub guards, 48 spline, HP tires, free coaster. Does Fit even make a complete full chro-mo? Let’s compare like 8 or 10 companies 😝. You’re awesome!!!!

Yeah man they are becoming super popular and for the most part, the kinks are worked out. They still require more maintenance than a cassette. But like Max said, getting one with a warranty is a good idea.

Gonna go with a Kink Whip once I can find one that is actually available. Helmet is a definite, I like the Shadow helmets. Pegs obviously, hub guards too. I'm really anal about the tension of my chain, so getting chain tensioners too. Now my question is probably one thats not easily answerable. How do I meet other people in BMX in my area if I don't know any? I have really high anxiety, so just walking up to people isn't very easy for me...but I can manage to eventually.
@Dougsterbob
@Dougsterbob 2 жыл бұрын
Chain tensioners are a game changer. Also thanks for opening up about that and it's a tricky questions to answer since everyone is so different. What has always worked for me is just going to the skatepark to meet other bmx riders. Hangout and do your own thing. Eventually you will notice a trick they are really good at maybe something cool about their style. After that its really easy to go talk to them about (that cool trick they did) or how clicked their turndown was or something like that. We are all bmx family so you will be good 👍👍

@@Dougsterbob Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I had one other question since you really said the bike was very good since its all chromoly, double wall rims, sealed bearings. I want all that stuff because it's stuff I know I will break. Except a frame, never cracked one. Did dent an STA though. But for the life of me, I can't find a Kink Whip anywhere. I don't care if it's a 2020 or newer, or older. But I just can't find anywhere that sells them except a place in Dallas that wants $600 plus $100 for shipping. Know of anywhere?
