Hey, I've been wanting to get myself a fgfs and don't know whether to build one myself or buy a stock one? I'm asking because I'm rather tall at 195cm, inseam 95cm and long arms. Any recommendations on brands/components?

Cheers

Looking to get back on a fixed gear, but want to be able to go some distance (no 26”). I’ve narrowed it down to these two. Differences, opinions? I’m really oblong looking to do bars, 180s and manuals nothing serious.

Hey! I was wondering if anyone knows the measurements of an Euro BB. I’m kind of looking into making one myself.

Sup everyone, so, I’m going to build my first fgfs and I have absolutely no idea about what rear hub should I get.

Any suggestions? It’ll be for a 26’ build.

Hi!

I'm looking for a pair of 700c rims that are tough, v-brake compatible, and, if possible, are available somewhere in Europe. I've heard of the Sun Ringle Rhyno Lites, but they seem to be discontinued, or insanely hard to come by, some guys at the local bike shop also suggested I go with the Sun Ringle CR18s, I don't really know what to do.

What would you suggest?

Hopefully, I've posted this on the correct subreddit.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I recently cracked my Alpina carbon fork on my Dolan Pre Cursa doing fish and chips and trying to wheelie. I'm now looking for a steel BMX fork I can beat up, that ships to Italy, is not too chunky and wide, and won't ruin the look and geometry of my bike. The only options I found were the PS Bikes STREET MEAT FORK 24"/26" and the Cult Crew Sect Fork 26" or 29", but the steerer tube is only 162.5mm and I need around 266mm. I am searching for a 26" or 24" BMX fork as I've seen that they should both fit my 700c 28c tires. Do you have any recommendations under 100-150€?

Would a 24 inch bmx be too small for a good fgfs build??

Hi guys,

I’ve been looking for answers everywhere before posting here, but I have some unanswered question about cranks and I truly need your help.

How big is the difference between riding a drive spline (or bossless) sprocket on a FGFS, compared to attaching the sprocket to the crank arm with the bolt?

Is it mainly a matter of convenience as the bolt with often come loose on a normal sprocket or the FGFS practice is simply too hard for it to work without a bossless sprocket?

As for skids, is it safe to throw big skids on that kind of cranks or it’s best to avoid them, especially with bigger tires?

It’s not that I don’t want to ride drive spline, but they’re almost impossible to find in Europe… :(

Huge thanks in advance for your help !

So many tutorials just expect me to know... Is it just pedaling hard into a corner or do you also jam the pedals at 3 and 9?

I want to get into FGFS and wondered if buying this bike complete could be a good entry to the discipline?

Also, since I don't own any BMX part, this would make it fairly easy to setup without hjaving to source everything.

Lastly, I already have H+Son archetypes on a track fixed gear with BLB king hubs, that I'd swap on the Cult.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help !

Where does anyone go to buy parts online or in person in Los Angeles . Looking for rims or tires . 26’

I got my hands on a first gen Radio Bombtrack but the default 30:12 gear ratio only gives you 2 skidpatches. Would it be easier to replace the front or rear?

SPROCKET RADIO “Bombtrack” spline drive, alloy, cnc, 30t sprocket

COG 12t fixed gear, threaded cog
FRONT HUB RADIO “Bombtrack” hub, 3/8″s axle, sb, 36h
REAR HUB RADIO “Bombtrack” fixed hub, sb,14mm axle, 36h / flip flop (can fit a 10t cog)

Ive got a destroy masochist in a trade a long time ago and never really rode it . What do i have ? I cant find anything on them really? ….. frame looks solid af …..i kind of want to turn it into bmx cruiser/wheely bike since I’ve always been more bmx style rider. Is this possible? Should i put some nice upgrades on it and keep it fgfs type and try to sell it to someone that would appreciate it ? Or should i turn it into bmx and rip it myself?

I’m a big dude (6’3) and I’m looking to get into Fgfs. I have an opportunity to buy a 700c 50cm freestyle bike, will it be easier to learn tricks on this or should I save my money for something larger?
