    Grips and Dirt

    I think im going to order some Odi longnecks and shove some DK anti-throttle bar ends on them. Back in the day i had a very similar grip to the longnecks and really liked them. I would get the DK ironcross grips, but i hate the DK grips i have right now so im scared of them. Although the...

    Grips and Dirt

    The Odi-lock Ruffians look nice. Has anyone tried them? I have odi-lock Rogue's on my MTB and like them also. If i choose not to get Odi's, does anyone have recommendations for a grip to run with the DK Anti-throttle bar ends (preferably short grips)?

    Grips and Dirt

    Dirtjumping seems to have taken a toll on the grips of my bmx. What is a good grip set-up that seals the inside of the grips from dirt to eliminate "throttle-grip"? How are the Odi-locks? Any suggestions to keep my grips in place would be cool. Thanks

    Getting the most out of rim brakes

    I have a rim brake on the back of my bmx that just wont stop me. I just replaced the pads to huge Odessey 2x4's but still no luck. The next thing i tried was sanding the pads alittle but still not alot of improvement. Next, i rubbed soda on the surface of the rims so they got sticky. This...

    need advice on TT length

    im 5-11 and i have a 20.5. Some would recomend a longer frame for me but the bottom line is you can adapt to what you ride. I'd say 20.5

    Alex Y-22 rims?

    I just talked to my friend who has the rims and he said they were triple walled so they cant be the same as the mx-22's. Either way im sure they'll be strong enough. Thanks for the replies.

    Alex Y-22 rims?

    is the 48-hole version of the Alex Y-22 rims (20" of course) strong? They come stock on the 2003 DK Sixpack. Does anyone have any experience with them or know anything about them?

    Norco Pure Metal BMX

    I would recommend buying a bmx from a company more bmx oriented (norco is primarily MTB obviously). Look at the new DK line or an Eastern. There are millions of other options.

    3/8 axles vs. 14mm axles

    will 3/8 axles be ok for all around riding (mainly trail but a fair amount of everything)? The rear axle is converting to 14mm, how does that compare to a regular 14mm axle?

    how do I learn the BMX basics??

    you can grind pretty much anything, you just need more speed for brick ledges and things that arent too smooth.
