I know this is the DH Forum, but I had to share this from Jared Graves Website! His new Yeti 20" BMX Bike!
He's a strong lad...Graves certainly isn't up on the whole "micro-drive" trend. that's a big ole chainring.
you try racing bmx tracks on a with a sub30 chainring and 9T driverGraves certainly isn't up on the whole "micro-drive" trend. that's a big ole chainring.
Microdrive's for the freestyle crowd. That looks like a normal 43/44ish race chainring.Graves certainly isn't up on the whole "micro-drive" trend. that's a big ole chainring.
Well, usually people who race bmx don't have a small front sprocket. It's the people who do street, because they don't want to smash it on quarterpipes/ledges, etc.Graves certainly isn't up on the whole "micro-drive" trend. that's a big ole chainring.
maybe smaller chainrings are all they can afford...but who are we to judge...Well, usually people who race bmx don't have a small front sprocket. It's the people who do street, because they don't want to smash it on quarterpipes/ledges, etc.
There's only gonna be one win that matters... Beijing 2008thats a nice bike!....hope he´ll take some wins on it !
Seriously, it's pathological with us white folk...stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com said:White people know that their ancestors did some messed up things. As a result, it has become hard wired for them to apologize for almost anything.
I'm sorry Evan, but I beg to differ.Seriously, it's pathological with us white folk...
Well played, sir. Well played.I'm sorry Evan, but I beg to differ.

Because if you are putting real power to the ground like pro BMXers, then you will snap a standard chain using a smaller chainring. Thus you have to get a bigger chain, and negate all weight savings. As said before, its about clearance and stalls etc. for the street, IF you are putting out real power. However, most street riders are not comparable to BMX racers in the power department.Actually...it's because it means the sprocket is a 3rd the size, thus losing weight, being smaller means there's 6" less chain...thus losing more weight.
The fact that it allows for more stability(sloer to the crank line/pedals) on stalls, etc is a bonus, but no one really does that anymore...
Why use more than you need and still get the same gearing?
Ding.ding.ding. And we have a winner. What I don't understand is why. He's moved from the Formula he was riding last year. The Formula's are far, far nicer... They may have had VSI build it with custom geometry, but I don't think Kinesis TW is really set-up for that. At least a Formula or Avent wouldn't have the silly top-tube...Isn't that an Intense frame?
Oy, I always get Formula and Revtec confused... Only three US aluminum race frame shops, and still can't keep them straight...He was on a rebadged Revtec at a race last April.
No but it's got the same funny top tube. The seat stays on the Intense come up past the seat tube.Isn't that an Intense frame?
This is the most retarded statement I've read on this website. The frame was built by Yeti in Golden. Why would Yeti paint over an Intense for a rider who will be representing them at the Olympics?Ding.ding.ding. And we have a winner. What I don't understand is why.

stunning.
Bmx makes for great cross trainning, I love going to a track or indoor skate park like Incline club to switch it up a bit. If you can land it on a bmx... mushy mtb suspension and big wheels... no problem. Tons of pros cross on bmx's and vice versa. Or take a look at a few top freeride guys, Bas, Claw, Chase, Lenosky, Andrew Lac ect... all started with some kind of bmx/trials backround.3 page thread for a kids bike with 7 tubes, no brakes, no gears and no suspension.
I knew this place had lost its mind.
