Sunday Nightshift build

I love this bike. I’ve had it for a little over two years now and it’s been solid. This is the most solid bike that I’ve ever built or owned. I’m 6 ft and 180 pounds. If you have any questions about the geometry or part specs, feel free to ask! Frame color is copper drop. Everything was bought from Empire. They built the wheels also. Albe’s really did me fucking bogus, so I’ll never do business with them again.

Edit: last three photos are to show what type of riding I built this bike for.

Thanks for looking! Have fun and be safe!

I can't

Hey everyone, Im looking for an edit from ~2018-2021 that ends with the song in the title. The ending sequence is this sunset scene followed by this insane drop in from a dam or something. Any help is appreciated!

Insert text here about looking for first bike yada yada.

Goal is to find him a proper fitting super lightweight bike from marketplace.

46" tall. I was looking at a used redline proline micro mini. Should i go with the mini instead of the micro? What other bikes are good comps to look for?

I haven't rode for 20 years so is there newer / better / lighter bikes i should look for.

I got this bike when I was like 14, but that was a long time ago and now I’m 6 feet tall and 165 pounds. I still ride the bike constantly and really love it. The top tube is 20” and the bike feels maybe a little small. The cranks are also 185 mm which maybe is making the bike feel smaller because it puts my legs up by the bars (I got them for free so I didn’t really care). I really don’t care about the bike and don’t wanna spend any money. How much difference would it make to have a bike that’s my size?

Hey guys, looking for recommendations on bikes. I’m 5,8 150 pounds. I’ve raced dirt bikes since I was 3 and am now looking for something a little less demanding on the body. I have a budget up too 500$ thanks in advance!

One of the levers of my bmx is on the inside and now it no longer fits correctly, there is a solution or do I have to change them if or if?

Im mainly ride dirt jumps, hense why I normally ride a dirtjumper (I ride bmx as well) but I thought I'd get more responses on here, I'm also fairly new too this. So weird title, but I didn't know how too word this. Basically, I ride left foot forward and I'm right handed which from my understanding is regular or normal stance/footing?

I throw my backend to my left or clockwise, for whips and attempting tailwhips. I spin my bike too the right for 180s,360s and so on. For barspins, x-ups I spin the left towards me and the right away. Any tricks where I take a hand or foot off its my right side, so one handers and one footers my right hand or foot comes off, for t bogs and frame, seat and tire taps/grabs I take my right hand off also for 1 foot cans it's my right foot that comes off.

Is this normal, or considered correct? Is there a name for this I struggle sometimes with some of the tricks I know maybe trying the opposite of what I'm doing would be better or correct.

By the way I can't do all of these tricks but that's just the way I'd do it like I can do 180s but not the full 360 for example and can't do barspins, but I can do x-ups etc.

I just laced a rear wheel: Odyssey Hazard Lite rim, C5 hub, 3-cross, 36 spokes, 186 mm on both sides.

I've checked the lacing several times and I'm confident it's correct (spoke direction, crossings, drive/non-drive side).

The spokes are only lightly tightened so far (about 3-4 turns each). Some nipples sit deep in the rim and some already stick out noticeably.

In the side view photo, the red arrows mark nipples that don't reach the rim surface and the green arrows mark ones that already stick out.

Is it normal that the spokes are so far apart (in height)?

What's the right way to bring them all to the same height and true the wheel correctly?

Thanks!

Shorts in October!!!

Arecem meu freecoaster foi todo aberto e lubrificado, rolamentos do cog trocados e ainda continua esse barulho, e eu posso andar desse jeito que esta?

Just riding a bike.

This is listed on FB marketplace near me for $200. Seems like a steal to me. Or am I wrong? I don’t know much about them but it looks clean enough and the seller says it rides like a dream? What do you guys think?

I got my first BMX last week, I guess to celebrate my upcoming 40th. I'm trying to get a solid bunny hop but I'm struggling with getting it up. The front wheel to be specific. In the tutorial videos I am watching the bicycle orientation is much more vertical than I'm able to. If my bike were a clock, I think I'm pointing at 2:30 and I think it should be closer to 1 o'clock. Can you give me some pointers?

What I think I'm doing wrong is not getting my body far enough back on the initial bar pull in order to raise the front to the maximum before getting the jump underway. I struggle with this because the further I am backwards, I feel like I lose jumping power. All tutorials say this is not a battle of strength but technique - so I don't think it's that. Maybe unrelated, I keep banging my knee somewhere on the bar which I'm attributing to timing, technique, muscle memory practice probably.

I'm also working on manuals and finding that balance spot. Is that a prerequisite to getting my body back enough for the bunny hop launch?

If it matters, I'm 5'9"

20.5" WTP Arcade 2013 and bars are slightly forward of parallel with the fork.

If you're reading this and think my progress is ahead of your first week of practice, I've mountain and road biked for the last 37 so I'm not starting at zero. Keep at it. Take chances, make mistakes get messy!

Just took out my FA Ambush today for a spin.
She handles like a 20 inch BMX only taller.
A bit twitchy (responsive?) but otherwise alright.
Previous owner bought it brand new in 1998 and only thing he did was replace the cranks and chain wheel with a 2 pc GT set.
For $150, I couldn’t pass it up.
