Haro Leucadia DLX 2021 Brake Cable Repair

Hello, I need to repair the rear brakes on my sons Haro Leucadia DLX Bike. It is a 2021 model, 18.5" with the gyro (detangler)

https://harobikes.com/products/leucadia-dlx-2021

As shown in the photos, the rear brake cable snapped. I don't have much experience with bike repairs and am having trouble finding the replacement parts. I can't find them on the Haro site, and I don't know if I can use a 3rd party brand.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Mongoose Title Micro vs GT Friend Ship

My son (5M) currently races on a Mongoose Title Micro. He recently saw a GT Friend Ship while I was scrolling through ads and fell in love with it. I'm having trouble finding specific info on both.

He's 5 years old, 43in tall, and about 45lbs. I can't find the specific weight for the bike he has (title micro) and don't own a scale to check. The GT Friend Ship is 25lbs. I also can't find a recommended height for the GT. Both are 20" wheels which he's used to.

Has anyone owned a GT Friend Ship/would you recommend in for a child his size, let alone for racing?

Wanna get back into it need recommendations

My 10 year old has recently taken up bmx where he wants to go to the park whenever we have a chance. I haven't ridden in like 18 years and want to get back into it. Used to ride a lot of dirt and a little street. What bike would yall recommend since everything's changed so much since my 96 General Lee. 5' 9" 200lbs if that helps me narrow it down

What do you guys use to listen while riding?

I want to listen to music while riding my bike but when I do jumps and stuff the EarPod falls out. I am more of a headphone guy but they are big and bulky so I can’t really wear them while riding. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks

What's y'all's go-to music playlists for BMX'ing?

I feel like I am stuck in the loop of listening to the same music during my cruises or when I hit the park.

How’d I do for $350?

Park ranger 21”tt with odessy r32 forks, rant party on v2 front wheel, odyssey clutch v2 hub on hazzard lite rim, stolen stem, bars were stripped and attempted to be cleared by previous owner. I bought a bmx bike last year and immediately broke my collarbone snowboarding and the bike had to go. i’m super excited to really get into it.

Choose which bike for my kid

Okay I posted before for advice and you were all so helpful I've been able to narrow down to 3 choices

Stats for my kid Age: He's almost 11 Size: Hes very petite at 4'5" 55lbs Experience: He rides a 24" hybrid bike he's been on two wheels since 2. He loves to ride fast and no hands he wants to get a BMX bike to learn tricks. He will be mostly riding and learning tricks on the sidewalk/driveway/road near our house but we do have a pump track and a skate park 30 minutes away that we can go to occasionally.

Bikes

  1. Cult Juvenile 18

  2. Fit Misfit 16

  3. GT Slammer 20

I was gifted a BMX, I'm new and excited!

Recently, a local gave me his old BMX. I usually mountain bike, so I'm looking forward to having something I can easily throw in my car and ride on my lunch breaks! I've been a huge fan of BMX for years, but I've never actually ridden one, so this is super exciting.

I'm 28, still fairly young, with two kids, which makes it tricky to go on big mountain bike rides. For the dads out there—what time of day do you prefer to get out riding? (I ride with my kids, but I'm asking about those solo sessions.)

Also, I'd love any comments or tips for parts/first tricks. This is my first BMX, and I'm looking at learning these tricks as some starting goals: 180 half-cab, footjam tailwhip, half-pipe spine transfers, and pull-up bar spins. I think I've got the muscle memory for it, so I'm excited to give these a shot!

Fun Saturday without chain :D

Adding to the quiver!

My little guy is on a strider bike but loving the pump track as of late. I'm coming from MTB but couldn't stand on the sidelines anymore! I'm open to any tips or tricks for an absolute beginner.

Advice on Bent forks?

So long story short. Hit a table with a rail next to it. And my left axle bolt SLAMMED where the rail comes up from the floor. And bent my left fork ever so slightly backwards. Like it took me a while of riding and then looking at it to even notice my left fork wasn’t straight. I’m wondering if it’s a big deal or not. It’s like maybe a quarter inch further back than the right fork. So the wheel mounts a little funky but I can still get my tire inline with my handlebars.

Just looking for advice. New forks? Try to bend it back? It is a chromoly fork.

I started riding again after 15 years!

I rode in my 20’s and I had been missing it for some time. Copped this full custom complete Cult off of a really cool dude on offer up. Took her to the park and was so rusty. I really just wanted to get the feel for the bike and feel that freedom again though. I was able to get an X-Up though.
