THE BEST BMX RIM GUIDE! 

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

I want him so talk more about psi

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

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

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

Always passing the knowledge! Dope vid, Alfredo!

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

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

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!

Love the videos dude thank you for the content

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

Dude, you are honestly the best bmx source of information on RU-vid, 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

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

Great video! Love these guys.

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

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

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

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

Bro I love Ethan no homo he's so funny

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

Always learning new things from phu 🔥

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

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

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

loved the video❤️

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

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

Never bad to learn more abt bmx bikes

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

I just learned something new here.. Very informative

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

Good vid alf.

I can listen him all dayyyyyy!

You HELP ME ALOT! Thanks

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

Another good video

BMX101 with Phu are some of my favorite videos..

Very informative thanks

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.

Phu videos are my favorite

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

✌🏾 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...

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

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

I like these tech Thursday’s do more alf

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?

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

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 👍

Phu is awesome!

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

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

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.

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

Phu is the man

He is the master of knowledge

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 love these

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

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 .

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

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

need a weekly series ft phu

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

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

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

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

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:)

good video

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

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.

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?

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 ?

greta video

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

Epic bmx shop✌️

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

Dude your the best youtuber duse from the phillipines dude idol

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

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

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

What do u guys think about the stranger crux XL rim

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

what are the preferential reasons for LHD or RHD ?

Lol “blowin ittt”

what is more stronger a thicker spoke or a thin normal spoke?

I know it's an old video but I have a question. What does the number of the aluminum mean? For example, aluminum 6061 or 7000 sth like that

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

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

What's the thing called that holds the sealed bearing into place on the wheel

My first visit to Epic bmx shop today for a new tire. I get home and their you guys are right in my feed lol. I didn't know Epic had a yt channel thats awesome!

Do yall build rims for a fast ripper

corriere still rides for gsport??

9:35 he made misses fu go so red omg ahah
