According to this source bmx have gone into insolvent liquidation on the 25th August!!!!! https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/5201840

Been over a year since I obliterated my ACL while riding with my lad. Tried to do too much too quick and I was a little overweight which might have been the straw that broke the camels back.

I ignored the signs when the person I bought the bike off had the same injury. Sods law.

Just started the long road to a full recovery. Upto 12 months.

I'm not put off though, a year from now I will get back on the steed. Maybe when I weigh less than 95kg and not try spine transfers after a 15 year BMX hiatus.

Keep the cool vids up guys, it motivates me to get better and I'll be posting flairs on here before you know it.

Manual to little abubaca to little moonwalk to more manual.

The hardest part for me is the fakie to manual

What has been some of your longest lasting Bmx parts from cranks, rims, to frames etc.?

Hi, I have my old GT pro performer BMX from when I was a teenager (I’m 40 years old now)!

It’s very rusted but wondered what the value of this would be if I was to sell?

Thanks!

All I can do is pass on the know-how to my children, sending it is pretty much over for me. I'll just mosy around.

So I recently had a neighbor move out and they left a pile of junk on the curb. I pulled a bicycle out of the pile, aired up the tires, and played around like a 40 year old fat kid.

after a little research I figured out that I had found a, 2011 WeThePeople Justice... it needs some TLC, but is still functional... is it worth anything?

El dia de ayer me compre mis primeros 2 pegs para empezar a hacer BMX street como se debe, unos demolition plastic peg que a pesar que estaban "nuevos" (deslizo solo 1 vez con ellos) un usuario de Facebook me vendio el par de pegs en solo 20 dolares!!

Que opinan de mi Compra, Estan bien para comenzar en el Street?

Working at bunny hop.

Building my first bike up in ten years in the next month or two and just trying to plan things.

Does anyone run 10” bars and a gyro with dual upper cables? If so, what length and brand of upper cables are you running please?
Maximum I seem to be able to find is 450mm and some googling says I’ll need 475mm?

Don’t want to land on using smaller bars as I’m 6’2 and old (31) 😅

Thanks for any help

I don’t know if I should post this in [r/oldschoolbmx](r/oldschoolbmx) but I found this frame in my shop and was thinking about using it for a setup, I don’t know what it is except for being a Fit BMX, does anyone know anything about it.

I got this bike when I was 12 years old! Had it in storage for about 20+ years. Just started restoring it. It's completely original, all parts except the pedals. I sold my bear traps like an idiot. It has some light rusting which I got most off today. The rust on the handle bars is proving a little more tedious.

Help I need is the rims are in pretty bad shape but I'm gonna try to restore them. They are Araya RB 17. Are there any comps to these nowadays that I could use if the restore doesn't go well? Also what's the best method for restoring rims like those? I used Brillo on the bike and it worked great. I read something about a brush but I forgot what kind of brush was mentioned.

TIA!

I got back into BMX about 12-18 months ago. Started with an eBay complete I picked up cheaply. I loved riding and working on it so much I started building a custom in January. Have built this bike up over the last year based on a mixture of Subrosa, Shadow and Cult Parts. Just reached the point where I'm finished tweaking it for now...

Any of you degenerates on here? IYKYK

I logged in the other day and there are still people posting occasionally.

I just picked up a 2003 Redline Proline Mini for one of my sons. The bike is great shape. I want to replace all or most of the bearings. I just ordered the mission conversion kit for the forks. Is there a kit for all the other bearings? Or a standard for the bearings. I have been out of BMX for 30 years! Any other reasonable upgrades that won't break the bank?

1. What bearings for the wheels and possibly crank.

2. Recommendations for any other reasonable upgrades?

There appears to be no bearings, the spindle will just spin in this casing.

It is off of a diamondback accomplice 2010.
