40 years of riding bikes and I have seriously never really thought of, or looked at the difference in wheel hight with different tires. That was crazy. Besides the ride, the aesthetics of a bike can suffer from the wrong tire.

Phu is the man with the knowledge

As a 41 yr old who just learned how to ride a bike 3 years ago this is really really helpful and answered the question i have been wondering about. Many thanks brother!

Dat guy knows a lot about his trade! Love it

When I raced back in the day from 86 to 92 I ran a 20 ×1.75 in the rear and a 20 ×2.125 in the front. I was a big guy for my age and it handled better in the corners. Most of the pros were running the same. Man I miss racing...

That BMX shop is Siccc 💯💯💯

4:03 is EVERYTHING you need to know about fitting tires on different size rims... Priceless info! 🔥🔥🔥

I live in a whole ass different country but I’m just glad phu knows so much i hate walking into a shop where you can tell the owner or person working there knows nothing

Phu makes me nervous swinging frames and wheelsets over the glass

Love how you got the inventory just jammed in there. All the bike shops I've been in have 1 or 2 sets of one style pedal, bar, or tire. Or an empty spot for the item.

I trust Phu, he's the guy i would refer to before i decided to buy any parts of bmx

Dropping gems like a thief on the run with these videos. Thanks Phu! Fisted that girthy Cox frame with the weirdest look in his eye tho 😂

I’ve been running cult AK tires for a long time now, I bought every pair of stock that was left since they don’t make them anymore lol. Awesome and informative dude thanks, 2.5 gang for life 🤙

Thanks for helping people understand tires better. I appreciate it.

Thank you again for these videos looking to get new tires needs to know what size I needed

Old skool trick I do take the old tube cut the valve stem out slice around the inside and wrap it around the new tube, found I was using less pressure and not getting blowouts quite as often.

In Uganda we ride all as long as we riding cause we dont have bmx shops damn!!

11:04 LOL Pretty much 😂 once my shipment got fucked up and I got 18" tubes instead of 20" I just stretched em in there and they were fine.

Great info, I watched it twice just so I didn't miss anything!

I’m so glad I saw your video. I was about to order a wide tire for a 1979 vintage Mongoose frame .

Another video!! It's like a POC "Piece Of Candy" Lol much love Alf & Phu!!

I learned so much about tires, tubes and fisting!

This man is elite! 😅

Phu here's a good one for you... years ago back in 80s when I was a kid me and my friend put a 24inch mountain bike tube into an 80cc motor bike and it worked OK for about 3weeks

my diamondback had a bigger front tire but the rear barely made clearance around the v brake arms making it impossible to upgrade to a bigger ones so I used a ziptie to create an arch away from the tire. Was rocking some super skinny knobs now I Ride on a matching set of maxxis torchs with dialed in shimano v brakes

"...'guys'..." 😂😂😂

Cool👍I'll keep my old-school Araya's then. The 1.1/8" wide dirt tires are getting changed tho. I was hoping I could get 2.35" street tire to fit on a GT Nora cup pro🤔

He is true... I'm essembled 2.3/2.4 tube on 3.0 tire... It's working with no problem at all...

I have a road bike with 700c wheels. I routinely use 26 inch tubes because where I live 700c is rare. Works like a charm. With my skinny tires the smaller tube makes installation easier actually.

I use 20x2.1 tube to my tires bhive 2.4size and its work really fine.

LETS FUCKEN GO!!! SHOUT OUT FROM Los Angeles

my favourite part is when Phu says "but guyz"

Me riding bikes for 37 years & being a mid-school rider I prefer one brand of tire the Haro multisurface 1. X 275 & I always buy them in bulk & when I do I,ll wipe them down inside & out with Armor All just so they keep for a long time wile sitting on the shelf & I,ll do the same with grips to & I,ll buy them in bulk also & wipe them down with Armor All also . When I need new grips or a tire I,ll clean off the Armor All & let them air dry for a day or 2 & I have no problem doing this , there’s no slip from me putting it on once I clean them & they still feel & grip like new . I still have a bunch of Jive handle grips from 1989 & a bunch of Haro multi-surface tires from 1989 as well & I know for a fact that Jive went out of business & Haro doesn’t make the multi-surface tires in 1. X 275 anymore with the tan gum line side walls . I,ll die before I use up my grips & tires I swear & I have all my mid- school Haro,s that I had when I was a kid , I kept all 5 of them & I,m good on tires & grips for at least the next 30 years , see back when I was a kid I was smart with my money & 2 of are local bike shops went out of business & they both were having liquidation sales & that’s when I bought my grips & tires like 60% off so I had to snatch them up . Every thing is still like new thanks to the Armor All I put on them to protect them , yes I prefer the skinny tires to the big fat ones & I really don’t care for the sound these new tires make wile riding the pings & the pops when you land , nope that’s not for me , I want to hear the tick of my free spin hub , that’s what I,m use to & I,ll stick with that .

In the late 90s, it was standard to have a 2.125" front with a 1.5-1.75" rear

I knew that was a Cinema just by the thumbnail,One of the best looking tires on the market

am i the only one thats paying more attention to the amount of brand new high end parts in different colors taking up an entire wall ? and then i saw the rest of the shop XD

Way back in the early-to-mid 80's a lot of us ran 1.75" in the back and a 2.... up front.

Awesome video Alfredo & Phu thanks.

Thank you for all this information. I was trying to figure this out and you explained it perfectly.

"foaming by the mouth and lost" lol yes always

BITD my OS race bike came with a 1.75 on the back and a 2.125 on the front 👍

I wish I lived in your area. That shop is a wet dream 🤤 We don't have any shops like yours in Manchester anymore... We have to order everything online which can take days.

"1 is tall, 1 is fat" LOL. Priceless

Hope phu is doin good man. I know he was a little bummed wit his son bouncein out man. Stay up phu!

Love it. My street sweeper v2 tire looks smaller than the originals I need a caliper to measure. They look tremendously different. Love phu!

Many vert riders back in the late 80s including myself rode 2.125 and wider pool tires back then.

THANKS FOR THE HELP.

I'm using cult dehart tire👌👌👌

Love my shadow 2.4s 🤘🤘

I Wish I Seen This Video Before I Tried To Put My Camo Cult Vans 2.40 Tires On My Old School Dyno GT… 😒

As I've learned with sportbikes, if you put a wider tire on a smaller rim it will create a peak in the center from pushing the sidewall in which makes leaning abrupt and not smooth. Something to think about on a street type of tire like that

Can you put a small intirior on a large tire?

Please tell us which tires are best for mag wheels such as Skyway Tuffs. I bought 20x1.75 Panaracer tires for Skyway Tuffs but they just won't center. Tried soap, massaging, gradual inflation etc, still lopsided. Its emabarassing spending $2 on a bmx and still have wobbly tires. I also feel it when I ride on smooth road at 12mph. Checked the rims, rims are spin straight.

What’s the best tire for vintage Mag Lite wheels? I’m restoring a 40 year old Mongoose.

20x2.25 fits on my old school bike no problem.👍

20x1.95 should fit that old school frame

Kudos for talling about the inner tube so people know. Btw you always manage to have a gt product in there,nice,lol

Muchas gracias por los subtítulos Alfredo.

Thanks for the knowledge

Thanks for the info on the 2.4 tube. I have the Williams tires and was wondering if it needed a special tube.

what is the bigger tire i can fit on 25mm inner rim? cani use 20 x 30 tire on 25mm inner rim?

I m Engineer, let me tell u few thng 1. In World of BMX light R is Better 2. Aluminum is Best. Steel is Better Othrs r just Good 3. Thin R Tyre helps u go Fast R Bit Thick R than Road Tyre is enough I like the way u Simplify evry thng

Snafu rim jobs had 2.10 I know for sure but I think they had even wider back in the day but you're right it was rare, I believe they were the only wider tire

If someone could answer me this, I’d be really appreciative. What is the maximum tyre width that is compatible with an odyssey 1999 brake?

Hey guys I just ordered a We the People Hybrid Utopia. On the WTP site it says it accepts 2.3” tires. But on other sites it says nothing about that. I have 2.4” tires, will they work?!? Thanks for your help guys!

Good

How wide does my bike have to be on the back to fit 20” x 2.35

so i can fit 20 x 3.0 tire on 25mm internal rim?

Thank you for that I'm trying to get pink tires for my kid and her bike I got has 2.25 width and I can only find 2.1 width

Just bought new tires, primo tire walls and they are 2.35. I was riding 2.4 before and now i fell like im riding a flatland bike 😂

can we put an 18 inch tube on a 20 inch wheel?

The fatter the tire, the higher psi has to be to keep them from rolling off the rim under nonconcentric force. Good news is they have more give even with higher pressure so you don't notice on drops

What if you normally ride 2.25 and want to go to 2.4 is that possible

Yeeew

this guy is my slave master

Is your bike shop still operating as well your website

Is this the bike shop at Burbank? In front of the cemetery?

can i put springler fork to a modern bmx ?

Could I mount a 20x4 inch tire on a 2inch rim?

Hey Phu, look into TRIALS stuff. HUGE back rims and tires.good place to start is 90's Monty bikes

I follow you!, awesome information!, just like all your vids! Thanks

What about an old Mongoose Supergoose from 79 or 80?

Great video. This was very helpful for me. I have a 1999/2000 Dyno Compe I'm working on. I got some mag wheels with 2.4" tires. Dont think the tires will work ! Hard to find 1.75 or 1.95

Great video Phu & Alf!

Im so glad phu is holding bmx down

Great video and info. Tires are tires just like cars you can go narrow and be Hella flush or go wide and be Hella thick

Where is you're shop located?

Hi my brother have a bmx bike,and we are going to order online a new tires(we need to order coz there is no avail.tires for his bike in his area,Philippines) He have a 20x2.30 tires mag wheels. Can we order or does it fit with a 20x1.95 or 20x2.40 tires? Thanks in advance! Edit:sorry yah I need to ask him first what the size or width of his bike frame and mags 😅

Can I use a 20 X2.4 tire on a 20 X1.14 rim

Get a micargi bronco or ruff cycle you are totally correct

That shopkeeper's way of speaking is like Terry Clew

Hell ya the tire and tube expand to fill the rim.

Cool vid, love this channel! Question, I have a 2021 Mongoose L100 with 2.4" tires and want to run a front brake cable thru the stem and fork but I know there will not be enough clearance with these tires. What size do you recommend? I don't want to go to small and was thinking of trying 2.2"

Can I put 20x 175 tires on a 20x 125 rim???

First:Always with the best Vids 👌

I was able to fit a 2.4 tire on a 1996 Dyno vfr 😅

I have a "94 GT Pro series with a 1.75 in the back and a 2.1 in front (both GT skin wall tires) that should be replaced. Also have a "94 PK Ripper with GT skin walls (both 2.1) that should be replaced. I was thinking of putting two GT LP5 110 PSI tires on the GT. Since 2.2 looks to be the smallest size of these tires, I suspect they should work? Any reason why I should I avoid these tires or their size? On the Ripper, I was thinking of the same GT LP5 tires, the Odyssey Aitken (2.25 size) tires, or the Odyssey Super Circuit tires (2.1 size). Why are the Super Circuit tires so expensive, and could the "foldable" bead present any problems down the line? I initially thought about getting the SE racing Cub tires, to retain the old school look on the PK, but those skin walls are not that durable, and it sucks to have to replace them because those skin walls start breaking down. Thank you!!

Question . I have a 2021 big ripper 29 . I want to go skinny. Around 1.75 wide tire or less. In color can you please point me in the right direction. I'm lost

Might be possible to put a link in the chain to fit a slightly larger tire size in some cases (worked for my recent build). Why did the old school bmx race bikes run narrower tires on the back and wider ones on the front? It seems like the back would take more abuse and thats where the fatter tire might give a bit more cushion.

That rim is damn good
