Bro phu knows his shit. Would love to just have more videos like this, getting his perspective and insight on the bmx world.

Thanks for all of these videos. I am getting back into BMX after not riding since 2005 and wow, technology has changed so much since then. Love all of the info in these and how clearly you explain these new types of products. Well done, man!

I want him so talk more about psi

I love how he's really specific ... And really gets into it ... 👍 Nice vid man

Dude, you are honestly the best bmx source of information on KZfaq, nobody even comes close! I'm a father to an 8yo that just got into BMX, I'm 48, & felt a lil nostalgic, so i bought me a bmx as well, i got him a 2020 GT Performer Box Palm edition, & me a 2020 Sunday EX Chris Childs with Cult Hawk Cranks, Profile 25t chain ring, BSD Swerve Cassette with Odyssey Hazard rim, & Hazard in front as well, with The Shadow Conspiracy brake & Colony Lever. If my son takes care of his bike, & don't get it stolen I'll buy him a way better bike in like 2 years, but shit, i wanted a GT in the 80's SO BAD when i was his age, even older, so he's got a way better starter bike than most other 3rd graders, he's already CRYING(LITERALLY) for a BSD Swerve Cassette now too! 😆 You have taught me so much over the past week i was able to find good bikes to get, 35 years outta the game, what to look for in a newer style quality bike to tell you it's quality, as well as what components are good, you also help us not get taken advantage of, rare for a business man to try to actually have customers spend less money

Thanks for going tech deep again these are so fun and great to watch !!

Bro I love Ethan no homo he's so funny

Always passing the knowledge! Dope vid, Alfredo!

Always love info from the epic base. Love the content recently alf. Keep it up 👍🏼

Love hearing Phu talk about tech. He really knows what he’s talking about

I actually just got that primo wheelset he pulled down, vs rims with balance rear cassette and the n4fl v2 front hub and I love them so far, best wheels I've ever owned by far!

So glad its thursday. I was blessed this week both you and Nate spent time at epic. Hell ya definitely need to go back and get schooled about pressures

Love the videos dude thank you for the content

Great video! Love these guys.

Nicely done Alfredo, so informative....👍👍👍

This video helped out a lot. I was looking for this type of explanation

I love these videos! I agree more on psi maybe even tires!

Never bad to learn more abt bmx bikes

Nice, I feel like rim, wheel expert now. Nice and quick explained. Sweet.✌️💯

Always learning new things from phu 🔥

I have 5 Haro,s all from back in the late 80s & early 90s & I run all the same parts on each of them & my preferred rim & tire set up for all my bikes are peregrine high pressure 48s with a sealed hub & the Haro multi-surface tires 1 x275 with the gum tan side wall , old school or mid school if you will , my tire pressure is between 35 & 38 pounds depending on how I ride , dirt , vert , street or flatland & did I mention that I,m 50 years young & I still ride to this day & all my Haro,s are from my childhood that I kept over the years .

I just learned something new here.. Very informative

More stuff like this I am new to bikes and bmx and I learn a lot from these videos

Very informative thanks

Really informative, i hope he gave things about the effects of colors or coatings (hard anodized, chrome rims) on brakes 😬 but this really good!

This is actually a great bmx video!! keep it it, I just subscribed by the way

I had my first photo in a magazine (full page in Faction) front white mag in 03 pegless upright stall to fakie.

I love the epic visits, it's always great content

You HELP ME ALOT! Thanks

this man knows what he is talking about, so good!🙏

loved the video❤️

I can listen him all dayyyyyy!

Good vid alf.

Phu videos are my favorite

BMX101 with Phu are some of my favorite videos..

Another good video

I Remember skyway tuff 2s and spin 3 spoke wheels for racing then Araya 7x rims and primo hula hoop rims alex super E rims the first odyssey hazzard rims in tripple wall odyssey 7ka rims and what im rocking now is the cinema Reynolds rims 👍

Droppin knowledge...thanks! I thought crosslace was somethin else. I think a follow up on a complete wheelbuild would be awesome. U can talk hubs and spokes then tubes and tires another week. Appreciate it

Funnily enough, I build myself some wheels two weeks ago. Chrome Ribcage with black Antigram and Vandero hubs. Love them !

Attendance is a must! 🤣🤣Alf gang gang gang!! 💯 💯 👊 👊

Dude that was epic, as your saying thick chicks sre better, this marshmallow comes out of nowhere 😅😂

HELLL YEA !!! thick on da bmx lol great information , so interesting!!!!

I like these tech Thursday’s do more alf

I def need a new back wheel. Gonna stop by this weekend for sure

1 thing you missed, how the rim can be liced up. Their are some different ways to do it. I'm getting my Gsport rims radial with old school Shamano hubs. The frount spokes are 180 mm and back spokes are 165 mm, because of the hub diameter.. Very cool stuff.

I love these

1 minute ago!!! Loved the video Fredo👍🏼

Phu makes the best content. Love Phu! Wish he had his own channel. I never miss a Phu episode.

Handy dandy vid, thanks again! Maybe you could search/ ask for busted rims/wheels, and make a little corner to show off differences inside, cut em in half like ya boy said. Little demo corner orso

Thank you sir! I fell off for awhile but wow you know the shizzle😂

Phu is awesome!

I remember old odyssey hazard light poster showing it has the same chambers as the Alex triple wall

He is the master of knowledge

Great video. Thank you for posting it. What would be a good wheel for a older heavier (200 lbs plus) flatland only rider? I have been looking for the best double walled chrome / silver wheel for a heavier Flatland only rider. I' am 5' 11" tall 245 lbs. Any assistance that you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Damn, Phu is really a legend, thank both of you! What about the Shadow Truss rim with centered spokes holes? Does that make them (more) solid?

Phu is the man

✌🏾 Bro... Mr. E reminds me of my dad, straight to the point and dont say the wrong thing, he will correct you and give you the techs on it... (THIS IS A RIM, AND THIS IS A WHEEL, OK)... ✌🏾 Bro, stay safe...

Phu vu... the man ,the myth , the legend

man i dont know single thing but when i watch this i even have option thanks broh

Hi guys, need help with building my bike as I cant decide which rim I should use. On one hand there is the ( federal stance ) or the ( stranger crux V2 xl ) both freecoaster. Then on the other hand im thinking I could get a sim which has a ridge in the middle where the spoke nipples attach whereas the federal and sgrager cruz rims are flat where the spoke nipples attach. Any help is appreciated as im not sure if there is much strength difference or is being double walled strong enough . TIA

Could you do a segment on different materials on Bike Frames - What is better ?

good video

Z Rims were the alternative to Araya`s and UKAI`s that were always buckling but lighter than Skyway Tuff with the advantage they had a metamorphic property.There was talk of 48 spoke examples but i have never seen them.so perhaps ACS like Skyway should remake them if perhaps just as a novelty item ?

Dude your the best youtuber duse from the phillipines dude idol

My mind was blown from the Alex Triple Walls part, I had one of those and (1) Odyssey Hazard Lite

I have Cult rims, they seem wide. The last rims I had were Alex triple wall 48’s with Schwinn XS sealed hubs.🏋️

Hi Alfredo, Want to ask you a question. I have a 29” SE mike buff fast 💨 ripper and need too know what Maxxis tires are good for all weather climates?

last time i heard the freezer myth was in the 90's. Phu said he wished the company's would send him a rim to cut in half to show the complete structure of the inside walls. well he or you could have pulled up pictures from some of the company's websites that show what he was talking about. I rarely bought any rims in the past 20 years without seeing a cross-cut picture of the rims. by the way my favorite rim is probably the heaviest ones i ever ridden and that would be the "Sun BFR's" those things were tanks. I don't know if you remember about a year ago i asked you if you knew of any that i could purchase........well i'm still looking so please keep an eye out for me please. Thank you so much for the great content and i'm sending good vibes your way for.............your finger.

I dont know shit about bikes I was enamored as a kid but left the sport for mega long... I picked up a WTP Crysis a few years ago I run Eclat tripping xl rims... this is very informative

i saw you posted this video on your instagram story so i went to youtube to watch it and vuala it was the first video on my home page lol. i know i spelled vuala wrong

Fu is the best guy that runs a bmx shop im a fan if fu vu...epic

Need to see a review on the eclat carbon fiber carbonic rim

greta video

Are there any specific rims meant for brakes on a bmx. or can you just use like any rim/wheel?? i cant find any answer online plz help:)

need a weekly series ft phu

I remember riding steel "tripple wall" rims on our dirt bmx's in the 90's and anything that was single or double wall was considered weak Now i ride aluminium double walls and they have been so damn tough and im 38 years old Hahaha And now i ride street and park

I had some Z-Rims. When they flexed the spokes punctured the tubes, so Miami hoppers were a no-no. I took some small motorcycle spokes and laced them, which stiffened the shit out of them, but still inevitably wouldn’t hold up to harsh riding. You had to keep them clean with alcohol for the brakes to bite well.

Skyway tuffmags & Z-rims with anodised spokes looked sick but putting them in freezer never worked. I tried.

i want more talk about bmx skyway tuff mags wheels. i have difficulty mounting tire on it. tires so hard to fits properly compare with steel rims and i even had tube blown.

So when you order rims, spokes, nipples, and the hubs online do they put it all together for you or do they send it all separately? Or do you have the option to ask them to do it for you? Please someone that’s experienced answer this.

Sir i saw a wheel set that says its 16 and can you do a comparison video on what is a 16 inch wheel set vs a 20 inch wheel set

Hope you teach us how to lace 48holes rim or hub to 32 or 36holes hub or rim. 🙂🙂🙂

@Alfredo Mancuso the rims that work best for me is the wider hole 3x pattern i need new wheels but damn everywhere i go internet window shopping everyone copped them before i get the dough

Maybe you got some info on the eclat tripple pin system are they just pinwelded or do they use real pins?

It strengthens the rim

What do u guys think about the stranger crux XL rim

late comment sorry Is the asc-z like the skyway tuff mags

Question: if your switching from single wall to double wall can you use the same length spoke?

Epic bmx shop✌️

Does anyone know what size spokes i should get Rant Squad Rim 20inch United 14mm 36holes I used a profile elite as a reference and it told me 194mm

i have a set of them plastic rims new in the box there purple ill have to dig them out one day

What if I put a narrow 20inch rim for a 2.3 tyre, does that make the tyre wider?

G Sport Ribcage rims all day

hola Alfredo, escribo desde CostaRica, necesito comprar unas ruedas y un buen marco (cuadro, frame) tu tienda de bmx no hace envios internacionales?? tambien tengo locker en miami en aeropost, por aca en mi pais es algo dificil encontrar buenas piezas, y si son nuevas los precios se elevan casi un 40 por ciento :C

If I get a 20X1.75 Rim Size what tire size should I buy?

Awesome, how much for a purple profile mini rear hub =)

1:18 I Rememeber ACS Z rims they folded all the time and broke spokes

Do yall build rims for a fast ripper

Hey man what do you think the strongest 29er rim is ?

Which lacing would be better if you aren't running wider rims? I cross lace when I build my wheels.
