This guy is selling an SE fixie for cheap on marketplace. I thought it may be a good starter bike then I’ll know what I want. 

I stunt ride motorcycles. Circle wheelies, scrapes, riding backwards after rolling and turning stoppies. I also have seat time wheeling a 26” BMX. I setup my bikes meticulously, every single part has been hand selected with lots of research. I do not want to do that all over again. I rather a master in his craft give me a good recommendation for a starter bike. I went through like 3 different expensive handbrake setups on my motorcycle before finally using what all the experts recommended. Trying not to waste money because I will be in the sport for the long run. Maybe every detail isn’t all too important in this world but you may tell me that. I’m trying to get a fixie and a flatland BMX. I feel a lot of the stunt riding skills will translate over well since I understand the balance points, weight shifting, body positions, etc. 

I appreciate your help

I typically ride a 58. I have an aluminum Felt TK2 track frame set in great condition size 54. I’d like to use it to learn spins, bar spins and fakie. I am a bigger guy at 190lbs.

Can the Felt frame I have handle doing a 4 foot drop, or the kind of regular abuse FGFS bikes see?

I also was curious if riding a smaller frame would be more difficult for fakie, or if it was encouraged to size down?

I’ve tried all the advice here except sitting on the bars and driving like a fork lift. About to change from 46x14 to 46x19. Gonna try and get some other clips here. I want to big spin and wheelie backwards 🥲

Considering how well wheelie vids do on yt, there's a definite lack of how to wheelie in reverse. I'm learning the hard way - fakie, lock up the pedals and pull back, try to keep momentum at the balance point... loop out or land hard on the front wheel. Any advice to help smooth the learning curve would be greatly appreciated.

Fakie wheelies

The longest size of Circle Jerk tensioner that Alienation makes is 8mm, my axle sits about 12mm from the end of my dropouts with perfect tension. I like the wheelbase of my bike, so I don’t wanna shorten the chain any. Anyone know of similar set-length chain tensioners?

Anything similar to Alienation Circle Jerk chain tensioner, but longer?

How do you fight the urge to go forward when going backwards? Doing circles is easy trying to actually pedal back and keep it steady is hard for me 🥲. I’ve tried just keeping my arms straight but whenever I tilt my bars to the left, I pop up.

Seeing a lot of 26' bmx completes online recently (Radio Ceptor, Elite Outlaw, Cult Devotion, etc.) any of these work for a 26er setup? sadly i missed the time to purchase a frame from anthem/ruff bikes. Definitely miss my old Grime Goat frameset which some of these remind me of ;)

Some of my crude diy fgfs builds over the last couple years, personally I’ve predominantly used genesis but also got on one and Dmr 26”frames with horizontal drop outs and disc spacing, having used a solid axle disc single speed dj hubs and bolt on fixed gear cogs, limited with chain ring spacing, on cheap euro mtb cranks, I’d imagine the geometry is out as I’ve got 27.5” and 700c wheel sets to fit S/M/L frames, also got motorcycle chain for the lolz

Hey, I've been wanting to get myself a fgfs and don't know whether to build one myself or buy a stock one?

Any recommendations on brands/components?

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.

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.

In the look for a rear hub 

Decided to take off the 26 inch fixed/fixed wheelset (MTX33s and Spike hubs) and remake my FGFS bike as a multipurpose trail and trick bike with 29 inch wheels. Still need to track down a replacement fork so I can set up the disk brake for riding freewheel and I’ve got a 16T Dura Ace cog coming for the fixed side. Thinking of finding a 26 inch Rebate fork, which ought to fit this wheel, unless there are any better suggestions.
This is the current parts breakdown.
Frame: Unknown V3.
Fork: BB17 Cobra V3.
Wheelset: MTX33 32H 29er rims, Surly Ultra New disk front hub, Surly Ultra New flip flop rear hub, DT Swiss stainless spokes, Shwalbe G-One 38c tires.
Drivetrain:  Y6 31T 48 splined sprocket, Shimano 16T freewheel, Premium 48 splined 170mm crank arms, Premium slim pedals, YNOT foot retention, SRAM PC-1 chain.
Other Stuff: Premium top-load stem, Unknown V3 handlebar, Spike 45/45 headset, Spike mid BB, Lock Jaw seatpost, Spike seat.

Unknown V3: Rebuild

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!

FGFS 700c 32h rim recommendation

I can bunny hop from a track stand without straps but can’t with straps so I can’t pogo. I can hop while moving but I wouldn’t call that a bunny. Also I can kinda 180 without straps, but not with. Any tips?

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€?
