My son found this is in FB Marketplace. Listing only says 'high-end BMX bike in good condition'. Price was dropped from $300 Canadian to $150 Canadian. Good beginner bike? Worth the price?

Demolition momentum II
Has anyone run this tire? How does it perform compare to the regular momentum (26 x 2.25) I’m planning to buy this tire since my stock tire popped and I heard the regular momentum run large does the momentum II run large too?
The momentum II is 26 x 2.4
Any help would be appreciated
Edit: also how much does momentum II weight?

Fun little Instagram edit I made
Been having fun making these little edits the past few months on my instagram. I don’t really receive many likes or comments because it seems no one where I live that follows me cares about bmx so they go unnoticed haha so I decided I’d share it here where everyone seems really supportive. I’m not that good or the cleanest rider or anything but I really do put my all into my riding and my editing. And I love bmx with all my heart so I’m glad I’m capturing memories! Hope you guys like it! Feel free to check out more of my videos on my insta it’s @rvbbve

Decent Yet Cheap Gyro Kits
Been looking to ditch the straight cable and throwing a gyro on, but it’s been so long since I’ve considered it, I’m not too sure what’s a good bang for my buck kit-wise. Before I go spending a huge amount of cash, I figured I’d give the Mission or Black Ops kit a try just to feel it out before I commit. Has anyone tried them out, any feedback?

Rode my new Kink Whip xl for 20min
And the chain snapped. Pretty big bummer. Ordered a Shadow Conspiracy based on recommendations here.
Do I even bother reaching out to Kink? Pretty horsesh*t if you ask me that I couldn’t even get through one session, but I’ve also been around non bmx bikes long enough that most manufactures aren’t gonna also much to help. Assuming the same applies here?

How do I fix this so this gyro does not click when doing a bar spin? TYIA
I’m only familiar with acs rotors not this gyro one yet unfortunately but it works great other than that clicking

1987 or 1988 GT Pro Performer what's it worth
my childhood bike. my friends and I watched Rad too many times. I'm too old to ride it now, and my kids have no interest. Bought new in 1987 or 1988, then sat in a barn for 30+ years. All original except for the grips and tires. Pretty sure it's not a throw-away bike, but I'm not looking to retire off selling it either. What should I reasonably ask for it? Appreciate any input

Tightening crank spindle bolts prevents crank from spinning freely (3 piece crank, bb spacer is installed)
Noticed one of my crank arm spindle bolts was loose while trying to diagnose a knocking sound.
I undid the pinch bolts and the opposite spindle bolt, then retightened the spindle bolts alternating between them, however now I notice that my crank arms don't spin freely and the only way to get them to do that is to loosen the spindle bolts almost completely. I'm not sure if they spun freely before this.
I looked inside the bb and the spacer is definitely there. Help is greatly appreciated!

Portable BMX for a roadtrip?
Currently on a cross-country roadtrip and I love to take bikes for a spin but my van definitely doesn't have much room left since I'm already carrying a surfboard and foldable kayak (roof rack or hitch not an option since I use parking garages a lot) -- so a BMX is actually looking like an attractive option for me since I can pop it in and out of my van for spins around the city or even some light trail use in parks.
One of the local shops in the town I'm in has an SE Wildman with a 19.5" toptube -- I'm 5'8" 160lbs, would this be too small for me? Honestly space in the van is really tight, so I'd be willing to sacrifice some comfort as long as it's not unrideable.

NBD for this old dude. It isn't anything special but it is mine and my first in 20 years.
Subrosa wings. Out at a pump track. Anything I should upgrade first? Have pedals at home. Haven't made it that far yet. Got taller bars on the side way too.

Is 2013 Mongoose Logo worth buying?
So, planning to buy a BMX. Saw a 2013 Mongoose Logo in a local bike shop. I really liked it but it has little scratches on the handlebar, fork and frame. On the other hand, we have a Bisan Zoid Crow (Which was made by 2 Turk people and I live in Turkiye) which was made in 2018. So, what do you think? Also Mongoose is 1/2” and Zoid is 9/16” and i need an adapter in order to use the pedal I want.
