Shop Owner RUINS Super Rare SE Bike! 

Keep parts can always go back stock...I can't have stock bike

My shins will never recover from this 😢

I think it's probably worth more overtime stock but those are dope upgrades, especially the retro profiles.

Bars look homeless tweaker height. Everything else is all good.

The chadder comes from the angle. Tune for maximum chadder its great for pedestrians

I have an open road freestyle BMX from the 80s and looks like a GT performer but it's not ! it's an "open road "does anybody know anything about this brand ???

You guys rock! One day I'll call to shoot the shit. You guys seem like cool dudes! Sending love from Nashua NH.

Toe in the breaks and that will quiet them down but they won't work as good.

lolz - No one gives a shit about anything other than the STR frame. Can't imagine doing all that work and leaving any original parts on that bike.

SE WAH angle....😂😂😂 Thank you funny

Upgrade is where it's at. Can safe stock parts for number matching freaks. Make it your own.

Keep it original or you lose value and this is going g to be a valuable bike. Why not buy a regular quadrangle and ruin it?

Keep the old parts so you can convert it back later in life :)

Phu always asking for free shit lol.. I absolutely love the Supreme chain! mine broke this past weekend but instead of snapping completely and killing me, the link on one side snapped but not the other so it gave me a heads up. Brought it home and replaced the snapped link, now I'm back on business. Not bad for a 2 yr old chain. So worth the extra cash

So $ick! Much better w/the upgrades for sure!! Bad ass how Phu gives assembly tips !!!! Phu is a Jedi Knight on building bikes ......

To me the value is more, but I'm a Profile fan boy.. besides, all the stock pieces can be returned, still looking new. Those are also high end upgrades that most would appreciate. It's a better bike all around. Side note, I got tired of the Elite hub sound especially when bombing around at night in my small town. That hub makes dogs bark inside houses. Plus there is extra drag when you want to coast. Simply flipping the pawl springs around quiets the hub quite a bit, but you still get full engagement and a, I feel, nicer sound. Plus less drag when coasting.

Personally I would have cut the forks so you didn't have to use all of those spacers. I figured with all the tools you have you would have a pair of tubing cutters🤷 besides that and the handlebars i think the upgrades were a huge improvement. The only thing on my SE thats stock is the frame and forks. 🤙🤙

Does anybody know how many 26 inch were made.?

For the rims not to slip: We used to put dots of heated tar, peeled off from the base of electric line poles. Makes every rim break work, sticks so much, it locks up sometimes, do not apply on front rim.

I have the 24 SE DC limited edition, 20 in XL made in America frame ans the first gen monster quad. My first looptail got stolen. I'd like to get the Perry Krammer PK cruiser. I think that would end my SE collection. I want to switch to Hutch because SE got too big. I want something that there isn't a lot of.

Digging the y anglley😂 aka quad angle . If i rode that id definitely keep my lock in my backpack....kids now adays would snatch that up .. especially the wheelie king boys..... Lotsa se bike rippers in my town showing off

They actually have a 16" lil quadrangle . You mention the 20,24,26,and 29. You missed the 16.

The value of the bike is up to the rider. If you upgrade parts and ride it i feel the value goes up.

ive bought so many things based on you guys.. The Shadow Conspiracy has def become one of my fav brands for quality parts that look so sooo good

Dope setup! Only thing I would’ve done is a Chris king polished headset

Yeah, for the long-haul that I could definitely be with more if it had all the stock parts, but that’s gonna be another 30 years

Tell me who made the sprocket please. Beautiful build. No it didn’t not ruin it. If you threw out all the old parts then maybe.

Replica??

For headset press: amazon sells them for $17. U cant diy for that!

Always keep all the original parts. When it comes time to sell it has both upgraded and original parts.

Toe the Brake blocks in an use KooL Stop……… Both never fail…..!!

6:19 to stop your brakes squeaking I would use emery cloth on the rim where the brake blocks touch and go around the rim with it and file your brake pads were they touch the rim 👍🚲💨

as long as he keeps the parts , he'll be ok - the new parts look good except for the bars - anyway it's a 29er (goofy lookin) so who cares

Sweet ride! Send me a free EPIC BMX shirt PHU! PLEASE! HA!

hot glue stick and spin the wheel and put just the stick on the rim with out the heat gun, better breaking and no squeaking

Everything looks sick aside from those ugly ass bars

Not being original is not a problem as long as you keep the old parts to bring it back to factory specs!

If your buddy is selling the flute cranks hit me up 🤘🏽

You can release the plastic clip by just tapping the top of the fork tube with a mallet or use a piece of wood and a hammer

Man that’s one sick high-end build great job

How much do you think a mint 95 gt pro series 24" is worth?

I think it is bad ass, I would put a different profile stem and a different seat. Other than that it’s top notch in my opinion.

He made it better! 🔥🔥

Looks really good. Seat post and headset gotta get upgraded imo.

The old man with all the Gary Littlejohn bikes has now subscribed. Is the owner of that SE bike intending to sell the bike later on with the original parts? Is he perhaps trying to keep the parts in perfect condition to maintain the value of the bike? I'm trying to understand the reason for this build.

Homedepot, bolt,washers and bolt nut

Stu thompson...dang thats way back

Made my own BB press id take a picture but it won't let me

I thought Stu rode for redline

Headset cup removal tool for the cheap: 1" copper water pipe; hacksaw the slits like the Park Tool has; spread it out a bit; 1" copper cap on the striking end. Bingo! Couple of bucks versus a Park Tool or trip to the shop.

Keep all the original parts. Thats all

The upgrades are sick! Personally, I’d go with cruiser bars. That bike is choice.

Cool blue car at the end of the video

They also had a 16 inch. I have one

I know this is gone and not make sense but I used to do this on my bike my T1 barcode with kool stop pads 2 different, compound black, and orange. I can’t remember what they were called the door they were black and orange, compound, and I’m a huge knife guy so I found different grits sandpaper work good on the pads depending on the compound. When I sharpen knives I have to worry about different grits, for different types of steel like my D2 steel & M90 steel so I tried it seem to work pretty well. Are used to do it every week and it seemed to work really good. I’ve tried them on all different pads and they seem to work really good.. on chrome rims. Are used to do it on a weekly basis but it does get a little bit expensive.

Just wanted to check in and show some love nd support for the channel thanks for putting us on game Gee -SpooklocCoronaCalifas

I use a sacrificial Phillips 1 screwdriver to hammer in star-nuts (Phillips 2 for hollow bolt star-nuts), its much easier to keep it straight. You just need to make sure the front end of the handle clears the inside of the steerer tube and doesn't load the wings of the star-nut.

I like it with the upgrades.

I agree on the half link being one of the best BMX innovations. Old school chains were ticking time bombs. You never knew when that chain would go "plink" and send you over the bars. I stole the chain off my Honda 50 minibike, it was #40 chain I think. It would fit if you ran a 15 tooth in the rear. Mulched the teeth off sprockets though.

Keep the pads clean with rubbing alcohol and use soft compound pads. For the DIY press tool, I used to use an axle off an old rear MTB hub, some washers and the axle nuts..

Upgrade now. Save the parts and ride the bike. When is time for sale put it back to stock and offer the parts with the sale or sell them later. Bolt-ons can be changed back.

I just started my collapse. It was A 26 BMX. The thing was bad ass I rigged these air shocks on it

Supreme chain hands down best !!!!!!! And I must say I’m not a fan of shadow parts , but this chain is a no brainer

Brakes chatter when it's cold out. Just brake em in and if they keep squeaking sand em down in the side walk to remove the glaze

Thanks Alf and Phu! I always used to pry that plastic jam ring to remove the forks, but that would damage the plastic piece. Now I see the right way!

Bars look horrible

wheres this shop at

Just toe-in the brake pads right for squeaks.

I’m a 5,11 260 pound muscular dude I want to ride a BMX what should I go for

@13:46 lol

"settle down guys" it's like he knew! lol

2 washers and a 5/16 long bolt for the bb.

9:39 That’s the Park tool RT-1 👍🚲💨

Max looks bigger than Phu

He should sell the sell out chinese made bike and build something better

That was soo dope! ❤😊

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yea foo

Meat tenderizers

Not the SE 😅

You made the value go down,because its not all original. Thats my take. That is a seriously beutiful bike.

That isn’t a vintage bike! That is a new 29” quad.

Not impressed with profile hubs

Aren't there girls bikes? does it matter if a guy rides on one

That bike is something else man.

Break dust stops the sound 😊

Keeping it OG makes it a true Stu man

The 29er isnt cool. The 26er is the best one

cant stand those big ass clown bikes lol

Yeah, the guy is not very smart replacing all that stuff
