    tyre problems

    whatever you wanna call it. once you have one full bead on the rim push it to the center of the rim which is recessed. As you put the second bead on pinch it with your fingers so its sitting in the center also. then you should have no prob getting it on

    am i doing enough?

    in bulking up at your age/weight 10% is a lofty goal in 3 months so no need to fear getting too big. 4 weeks 4 days a weeks work on 3x8 reps with enough weight to fail on the last set(ok to increase weight each set to make sure you can barely do that last few reps as long as you keep form)...

    am i doing enough?

    if you are serious about bulking up you are def not doing enough. its not a matter of time spent at the gym its what you do while your there. The first step is to put together a training routine. First thing is if you are not resting in between sets you are doing more of a cardio workout than...

    Intense Slope Style

    you made a great choice with the SS. this niche has certainly taken the definition of a do-all bike to the next level. The geo of the SS make it at home in the flow and air that is Slopestyle, but doesnt handicap the lift service riders from hitting the rocks gardens. On the flip side, its...

    Better to buy wheelsets already built or...

    a handbuilt wheelset aint cheap. hubs, rims, spokes, nips, it adds up not to mention labor. Building a wheel requires more skill and time than anything in bike mechanics. A hand build wheelset is nice but the best bang for your $$ is gonna be a pre built set. Hnads down the best fr/dh...

    cannondale judge 1 or turner dhr?

    man the c-dale bashing never stops! Its really a matter of personal preference and riding style with any bike. You can get all the opinions you want but they are just that, opinions(with obvious bias). Turner and c-dale both make a great dh rig but do so in different ways. If you did have a...

    Argyle vs. 4x

    unless you already got your hands on an 07 4x you will have a hard time coming across one. 07 4x have been out of stock at all distributors for a while now...just an fyi your best bet would be an 08 dj1 if you want something in that price range as the rc3 has bumped the price of the 4x up...

    Premium Bikes

    so your would rather have generic parts on a bike than primo(not my first choice but they do have some good stuff)?? and you hate the feel of the bike? what would make you not like the feel, a complete bmx bike for the most part is only as good as its parts. The frames basically all have...

    Premium Bikes

    why premium? there are a bunch of great options there these days. best bang for your buck is that integral expo is an amazing parts package primo everything(integral is primo) so proven parts. As for the frame is a matter of looks as all frames are made oversea...same quality. Fit has really...

    wheel-building questions

    the strength is negligable. sure the rim is not dished perfectly but a decent wheel is a decent wheel. i swear by azonic outlaws as a great wheelset for the cash, much cheaper than building up custom and can take a pounding. I have a full season of outlaws on my FR bike and will be using...

    wheel-building questions

    to me the 32vs 36 question is a matter of how much you weigh and how much you case. Great choices on rims both either are tried and true and will hold up great, cant go wrong with either. I am a hope guy myself, hubs are light and hold up well, great for the money. Have no experience with the...

    wood transitions

    a good sealent woudl be good for the braces but not so good for the particle board. Particle board is just alot of glue that wood sealer doesnt stick to very well. I would def want to stick with oil based paint to seal it. A few coats will also give youa smoother surface to avoid spintering...
