12?


its nice... i prefer 26" tires though & a fork cause i do alot of 6' ledge to flat kinda stuff

2/10/2006 2:16:49 AM

how much you end up paying for it

2/10/2006 7:33:56 AM

nice reflectors!

2/10/2006 8:07:19 AM

nice bike

2/10/2006 8:35:50 AM

you should just give me money on a weekly basis. I think it'd be better spent

2/10/2006 9:35:49 AM

um it was 170 at dicks, i think it was the best deal there, bc i got the front breaks etc with it, even though the front brakes arent great

upgrading to better pads today as well, kinda hard to lock up the rear with the current shitty pegs


post a pict of your stunter bikes in this thread too btw.

they had a bunch of diamondback bmx's for dirt racers to stuntas like this one, already went over the front handle bars on it lol and sprained my wrist it was fun. i think the best one they stock is the jekyl dimaond back.

i doubt i would notice the difference between the 2 bikes and couldnt warrant spending 60 dollars extra.

also had to tighten every bolt, it was a death trap when i first got it with loose wheels, handle bars, chains, but now it's good to go.

When I was into riding street I destroyed way too much MTB stuff. I'm sure the crossover bikes are much better now, but 26" wheels with 36 spokes were flexi as shit and easy to demolish. On one bike I cracked the frame, broke the cranks, broke the handlebars, broke the stem, bent three sets of wheels, bent a couple of seats, bent the forks, broke the rear derailler, etc before I just decided to use it for trail riding only.

^ Tell your friend to go to Play It Again Sports in Crossroads shopping center. They have an Eastern Jane frame with decent wheels, 3 piece cranks, decent bars and stem, and lots of other goodies for $169. That's probably cheaper than the frame would have been new.

2/10/2006 12:28:59 PM

nah, he's way to cheap , prob going to pickup my other friends old school dyno or gt i forget that he has sitting in the garage tonight for him to ride round on.


just picked up some cool stop brake pads front and rear. lol guy at the bike shop was like ..buy this haro f2 for 240... it's only 50 bux more.. im like dude.. tax would be mad on that thing ill keep the decent diamond back.

if i bend the 1 piece crank, ill upgraded to a 3 piece we'll see.

^yeah always bent my mountain bike rims on the streets, and broke cranks too

after more research, i found how much the bike sucks.. going to return it then go to play it again to get that bike u were talkin bout

2/10/2006 2:17:52 PM

DON'T EVER BUY A NEW BIKE FROM A STORE THAT ISN'T A BIKE STORE

ITS JUST COMMON SENSE

2/10/2006 2:41:39 PM

^^ Yeah, that Eastern looks straight. I think the wheels had oversized axles with Sun rims. S&M Slam Bars or something similar. It would probably cost $500+ to build yourself.


Oooh...I'm gonna need a launch ramp before this summer for lake jumping. I'm lazy and don't want to build, so somebody hook it up if you see one on the cheap.

2/10/2006 8:44:16 PM

2/10/2006 8:46:36 PM

um,, the easeter sucked ball sax. it looked like i, as my friend stated, someone took a shit and rubbed it all over the bike. may ride straight but for 170 i want something that wasnt even owned... rusty chain, bent wheels...phat bike..


here's my new ride (blue), and my friends (yellow) Haro's

the yellow is a f2 and the blue is a mirra 540. did some shit on them tonight, great bikes.





and here's the 2 chillaxin together. held up well off some 4-5 foot jumps, curbs, and some steep stairs, wish my knees and face could say the same.



threw some cool pro brakes on the blue one, fun asss ball sax


everyone else post a pict of ur ride kthx

2/11/2006 12:00:22 AM

oops popped the tube on the blue one already..

2/11/2006 3:08:48 AM

dear skack...

their wheels are heavy as nuts (hence 41lb hardtail single speed) but you cannot break them especially w/ downhill tires/tubes.

btw... why do people say forks... it seems incredibly dumb to me...
a fork has atleast 2 prongs on it....so if you have forks you should have like 2 front ends

and that also makes a lefty not a fork but a front suspension.
and i must say.... my bike though just as strong as a bmx costs 4-10 times as much.

2/11/2006 6:38:23 AM

ive never had a problem with k mart tubes

2/11/2006 4:06:22 PM

damn, quit yappin' it up in here and go ride!

2/11/2006 5:35:42 PM

kmart tubes is that joke or not, if so ill get those for my next replacements.

2/11/2006 6:28:35 PM

fj40s, go to a bike shop, get the "thick" tubes... they are worth the money... ive been running this one forever in my bike. think the outer thickness is something like 4mm

2/11/2006 8:22:55 PM

oh shit, next blown tire i will def do that when u gonna ride with us cuz, we can ride out the wheelie down bragaw lot, then bounce around like a pogo stick on the back to turn round then ride an endo on the front wheel all the way down bragaw lot

2/12/2006 3:03:50 AM

I started hooking up my lakejumping bike yesterday. DK BMX frame with a 20" toptube, DK forks, DK bars, Aheadset, chain, wheels and tires are done. Lever and V-Brakes are on, but no cable. I just need some cranks, bottom bracket, seatpost, and a brake cable and it should be straight. All pieced together in my parent's garage from stuff that I already had.

Wow... looks like the quality of BMX bikes on NCSU's campus has gone downhill since we graduated

Well.... forks DO have 'two' prongs, as that is where the WHEEL fits...

And... bwhjahahahahahah to YOUR bike being as strong as a BMX bike. ANYTHING with a larger diameter is MUCH easier to apply torque to and bend.

I laugh at your 'as strong' comment, and I assure you I can break your rim/frame easier... remember, you are thinking about pure vertical force. If you apply LATERAL force to those rims... they == dead. I have bent 48 spoke ALEX rims (and my bike was up to ~60lbs), so I dont think ANY MTB rim would survive a few ditched 360s/whips.
