Join me in this detailed guide as we tune-up my new Monza 24" BMX bike post break-in. We'll also get a look at a classic GT Pro Performer 26", and the slick 20" S&M Dagger. From tightening loose bolts to getting those Skyway mag wheels spinning perfectly, we'll cover all the necessary steps to get your BMX feeling like new again.
Whether it's adjusting the U-Brakes, V-Brakes, or Side-pull Caliper Brakes, setting the correct seat height, checking the for loose bolts, or adjusting tire pressure, these simple maintenance tasks can make a world of difference in your bike's performance.
In this video, we'll mostly focus on the Monza 24" BMX, but don't worry, the principles are universal and apply to almost all BMX bikes. Grab your tools, and let's get to work! This is an ideal guide for beginners or those getting back into BMX after a long break. Trust me, your bike will thank you!

grabbed this exact Monza 24 after years of searching ebay for an affordable replacement for my childhood 83 mongoose expert that was stolen. Found it better to go new than vintage if i want to actually ride. Getting back into riding after many years and it feels good. Thanks for the video!

Nice to see you know the cresent wrenches trick too,i use that park tool for sidepull brakes to center them too,game changer. Back in the days i would mess up my finger doing that as a kid or early teen. Good video for the noobs to know 👍
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for the input. Yeah, this video is definitely geared more towards newbies. I’ve watched a ton of videos on bike maintenance the last couple of years and thought it might helpful to the new folks to try and boil a bunch of it down into one spot.

@ChiCan76 11 месяцев назад
As a fellow BMX enthusiast (from the same era as you), I concur. Maybe the only point that may require further clarification is how much tension on the chain is appropriate. My understanding is that the chain should have a minimum of 1/2" of play both up and down (like yours seems to have). It should never be so tight as to have no play. Hope this makes sense. Your thoughts?
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood 11 месяцев назад
Thanks for chiming in! Yes, that makes perfect sense. You're right, I probably should called that out in the video, but my understanding is also that about 1/2" of play is a good rule of thumb, and that it shouldn't be too tight (or obviously, too loose). 👍👊

Question about your 26” GT light blue cruiser. Is that gyro a different size than a 20” one?
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood 11 месяцев назад
The Gyro I have is a mixture of parts to get the white and silver colors and reduce the amount of black. But it’ll work for any 1-1/8” threadless fork/stem. I did have to drill holes in the frame for the gyro tabs, but most modern bikes have them pre-drilled. I also have an Odyssey G3 gyro on my modern 20” S&M Dagger, which is basically the same as what I have on my 26” GT.

What u think about 26" bmx
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood
@TheNostalgicNeighborhood 14 дней назад
It really depends on what type of riding you do. If it’s mostly just casually cruising around the neighborhood, then 26” is my first choice. If I’m heading to the pump track and/or want something more lively/responsive I grab my 24”. And then… I’m starting to get into flatland freestyle, and in that case it’s a 20” without question.

@@jonpg28 I have this seat opinion white on my 26” GT and in black on my 26” Hutch. For $30, it’s a great value and fairly comfortable. www.planetbmx.com/shop/gt-cruise-control-saddle-w/-rails-black-or-white.html
