Amazing review. I think this is the bike I need at nearly 40 years old. I’ve always wanted to learn to wheelie. I had a mongoose sgx pro 25 years ago. Beautiful metallic blue and chrome. Used to jump it with my buddies into the pond!

Why wouldn't you use the electric start?
@dadmodewheeliegang27 күн бұрын
i think because i've owned and ridden so many bikes that didn't have a kickstart ... i really get a "kick" out of using the one on this old bike.

how tall are you, i’m looking to get a bmx but I don’t know which tire size is good and i’m 5’8
@dadmodewheeliegang27 күн бұрын
you can pretty much ride anything at 5'8", but I think because you're on the smaller side, you might like the versatility and agility of the 27.5" bikes like the Beastmode or Killer Quad

I have 3 of the High C’s. The hot pink, black and billiard green. I was wanting to upgrade the freewheel to the hornet but was curious about the front sprocket. Will a 30-32 fit on these??
@dadmodewheeliegangАй бұрын
The 30T fits without issue, but on some 33's and 36T, you need to space the sprocket out a little from the BB so it doesn't rub on the chain stay (the part of the frame going back to the rear axle). If you put a 19mm spacer between the bottom bracket (BB) and the crank arm and sprocket, make sure you add the same size spacer on the non-drive side so your pedals are the same distance from the BB on each side.

My Dad bought one brand new in the summer of 1980 when I was 6. I remember him picking me up in this and it seemed so cutting edge back then with the digital message center and power antenna. His was red with the checkerboard interior.

From a sunday to this se which do you prefer at the end of the day? Just went through your videos btw
@dadmodewheeliegang3 ай бұрын
honestly, both work and the Sunday is quite snappy because of the short chain stay. But the overall build quality on the frames (and I've had a couple now) wasn't 100% and when my wheel would be straight in the chain stay, it would be slightly off between the seat stays, and that kind of drove me nuts even though it wasn't an issue to ride or use the brakes. I like the SE monster quad because the frame is so unusual, and at this point, I think I'm stuck on using disc brakes because they're so smooth and powerful

@@Drewapple100 Great question and I think the best bang for the buck right now for learning wheelies is the GT Pro Series 29" BMX Bike which is on sale at citygrounds.com for $379 right now. That's less than 400 for a disc brake bike that you can upgrade over time if you have any parts failures, or you just want a higher quality hydraulic brake system
