Just remember, all this advice goes out the door if the bike is old school. An old school BMX bike can be worth $100's if not over $1000. A young kid might not want it to ride, but you could definitely flip it. People throw out rare bikes that are collected now like old cars.

Restored the bb cups and cones with emery cloth and made it usable but will be upgrading to a sealed 19mm bb on pay day. Already upgraded the seat and as parts wear out ill upgrade them one by one. Not a bad deal for the price really.

@micahbauer3152 5 лет назад

Back in the days of BMX Board I bought a used complete from a guy for $350. It was a Felt Sheriff (which I was not interested in) but all of the parts were aftermarket. Mostly Odyssey stuff: freestyle forks, Elementary stem, Wombolt cranks, sealed gyro, levers. It had a Thompson Elite seatpost, and Ti-spokes in the front wheel. All together I think it would have been around $1100 new. I sold the frame and bars (also Felt) and bought a Fly 3 Amigos frame, slapped on my Primo bars and pedals, my Macneil guard sprocket and I was all set. I've replace most of the parts since them but I'm still riding a few parts from that bike today.

Wish I would have seen this yesterday. Oh well. Now I will know where to start next time.Thanks!

@Brant_Moore 4 года назад

I feel like racing is probably a bit different than freestyle too as youre going to have a completely different type of abuse. Glad you're psyched though!

@JamesWilliams-kt5qr 4 года назад

Racing you want to look for sealed 2-3 piece cranks and usually euro bb. There’s a lot more cross over between MTB (specifically downhill) and BMX race bikes than between MTB and Freestyle.

Hi. Thanks for the video. I am getting back to biking and have a mountain bike I enjoy riding when I get the time.

I want to get one just to commute through campus and I was wondering what your opinion is on trek bikes? Got one for free and looks like the seat, handlebars and pedals have been changed. Can I put better parts on the trek ? Is it even worh it? Are fit bikes good for beginners? Are Elite bikes from amazon good for beginners? Thanks in advance.

@isaiahfurrow7414 4 года назад

Your explanations were awesome! Thanks for this video. I am researching to buy my son his first normal size, bmx style bike. I want to get him something better tham a Walmart Mongoose, but also cheaper than legit bikes...like $300 tops. I have found a Ruption Hacker for fairly low price, it has the standard external headset style, it does have a sealed mid style bottom bracket, 3 pc crank , and sealed hubs with the bigger 14mm rear axle. Would this be a decent starter for a 5'2" ish 13yr old? Also looked at a GT Air 2020, amd a couple im the $275-300 ramge, but it seems like getting a really good one I would have to step up to $400+...I figure if he gets really into riding, I can someday help him get a better GT/Kink/Stolen/Fit/Sunday/Haro/etc... Please let me know if the Ruption Hacker 2020(silver/chrome) , would be decent, or if you have a few other suggestions in the sub $300 range. Single dad raising 3 kids, so have to be somewhat budget conscious. Thanks again for the video.

@Brant_Moore 4 года назад

So here’s the way I look at it..If you buy a bike now and end up needing an upgrade, you’ll have the first bike for another kid. If they’re all older and you don’t see yourself needing to ever buy another bike unless it’s an upgrade, you may want to spend the extra 100-150$ now instead of spending $300 now and then $400-$450 later. Most bikes at that $300 price range are the about the same bike, but sometimes you can find deals on previous years model and get something better for the same price.

I bought a sub-$100 and rode tf out of it for a lil more than a year, it got me thru the worst of the learning curve of spins with several amateur wheel truings, one professional truing, and a donor set of wheels off a bike my buddy hadn't touched in a decade. It was a $98 Walmart Mongoose. Every single bad part mentioned was on it as well as very low rise handlebars, a 20" top tube which doesn't work well with my 6'1 frame, and tires made of nylon I believe?? Absolutely no grip to be had, but it served it's purpose to let me see if it was going to be a phase, or something I'd stick with before dropping serious cash on a new bike. There isn't really a BMX scene in my town, you're more likely to see a drunk guy pedaling past with a 12 pack on his shoulder.

I purchased a Sunday soundwave off craigslist from a 45 yr old dad. 2018 black with S&M perfect 10 bars and chrome fit forks and crank bike was like new for $300 I thought it was a good deal. I was looking for a old school 80s freestyle bike and seen this Sunday had to buy it.

I hot a miraaco icon for free. The frame is good. I rebuilding the bike but need some ideas for quality parts such as bottom bracket, headset and rims without breaking the bank?

@Brant_Moore 3 года назад

Pretty much all headsets and bottom brackets are the same thing. Rims you want double walled and welded seams if you can. Alienation has options for that

@Sentient6ix 5 лет назад

I've never bought a used bike. I've only bought new completes. I've rebuilt them with aftermarket parts, of course.

@Brant_Moore 5 лет назад

That’s always the best/safest choice for sure. Some people can’t afford it though so hopefully this video can help them!

I ended up buying the cult devo 2021 model as my first bmx bike idk if I would do tricks mainly wanted a reliable bike with good quality n who knows maybe after get comfortable learn some tricks!! Cause I do feel like it be plenty of fun to learn tricks after getting used to it! Only thing is putting it together n hope I do it right!

@Brant_Moore 3 года назад

If you mean the Devotion that’s a real solid bike man! Should be all set for sure. Putting them together is pretty easy too. Good luck man!

@xxdropdeadxx6679 3 года назад

@Brant_Moore I bought it through the website cityground n they offer payment plans! With affirm paying 600 but if I finish sooner an all that don’t have to pay the interest n anyway it’s only 50 bucks a month I don’t know much about this bikes I heard there high quality idk about if their one of the best ones out there but wanted something that would last for years. Should I do any upgrade to it to improve it? Cause ik it can always be better what would you suggest to make it the best it can be? An also can the devotion be taken off not sure if it’s a sticker or actually painted to the bike. N thanks for quick response

@Brant_Moore 3 года назад

Wow that’s pretty cool I hadn’t heard of that before. As far as the bike and upgrading it goes, there’s really only a couple things that I’d suggest. Everything on it is good enough to last for quite a while. The cranks and stem are the only two parts that are low end when compared to high end aftermarket parts. Always happy to try to help!
