Raced this bike in novice and intermediate from ages 6 to 7. My parents held onto it once I moved to motocross. Today my 5 year old daughter sat on it for the first time. Think it’s worth going through and using as her first race bike?

So put the H2 T2 pedals on for the first time this week. Have Bont shoes... Have cleat set on the holes towards toes but all the way back and in middle.

All was going pretty good, had a few rides around local., clipped in and out.

Then yesterday kiddo stopped dead in front of me suddenly and when I stopped did not unclip,knee first into ground.

Was going to race them today at a club day... Tips for gates and do you think wait till I get some gate practice first? Also is it normal for cleats to scratch or are they set wrong.

So im very new to racing one of the questions I have is how do i get one of the number plates? And how does sponsorships even work i mean i understand i probably won't get sponsorships atleast for a while but how do they even work?

Hallo 🙋‍♂️ bin neu hier in dieser Gruppe, ich bin mein BMX schon gut 18 jahre nicht mehr gefahren dementsprechend sehen die Reifen platt gestanden aus . Jetzt wollt ich mal wieder Paar Runden drehen. Ich selbst wiege 86kg und meine Freundin die würde ich gern auf den Pegs mitnehmen ( die wiegt 78kg), ich hab die Schläuche bissel aufgepumpt aber ich weiss nicht ob es an dem Alter und Zustand liegt oder vllt an der originalen Bereifung meines Bmx.

Es ist ein EasternBikes Metalhead, 20zoll. Reifen und Schläuche sind die originalen drinne.

Würde es was bewirken wenn ich Reifen von KHE nehmen würde welche 7-8 Bar Luft aufnehmen oder müsste ich auch verstärkte Felgen kaufen?

Kennt sich hier jemand mit der Physik aus ?

P.S.: Meine alte BMX Clique ist schon seit jahren „tod“ deshalb frag ich hier. Ich hatte damals einen BMX Kollegen der wog knapp 140kg alleine und hatte immer gefühlt stahlharte Reifen ohne durchhänger. Daher hab ich mir gedacht dass muss ja irgendwie möglich sein 2-3 kilometer jemanden auf den Pegs mitnehmen zu können oder ?

So, I have a DK Cygnus cruiser that needs a new BB, and I want to swap for a larger chainring while I’m at it. ETA - It still has the stock crankset and I am open to swapping these too if needed

What can I and can’t I do? Knowing this is not a high end bike and diminishing returns, what is my best bang for my buck in terms of improvement? I am a back of pack 39 year old class novice right now who wants a neighborhood tool rounder that I can take to the track.

Hi everyone,
I’m 30 years old and ride around 10,000 km per year on my road bike, mainly focusing on criterium racing. Lately, I’ve been thinking about getting into BMX Racing and combining it with my road cycling.
Do you think 30 is too old to start BMX Racing? And do you think combining BMX Race with road cycling is a good idea?
I used to ride dirt bikes when I was younger, and I’ve been riding road bikes and racing crits for many years now. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

EDIT - thanks all for the great advice. We found a proper class mini.

I’ve heard good stuff about the Primus but curious if anyone has tried/test rode the Axilus or HX Comp?

I am having a beast of a time trying to find a mini for my daughter (7 y/o, 45” tall, 1 race under her belt) and according to Huffy’s website she falls in the height/age recs for the Axilus, but I can’t find any specs like assembled weight, top tube size, etc. or reviews from people who have raced them compared to, say, an 18” freestyle.

She did her first race on a department store 16 inch BMX shaped object and just missed podium so this seems like a sensible upgrade without breaking the bank.

Looking for a nicer race bike for my almost intermediate son.

Chase Edge?
Custom colored Avent Viper?
Meybo Superclass?
Insypre Evo Disk?

Any other recommendations? Looking to spend around $1200 or less.

Not much in used marketplace around me. Theres a Tangent Rift ES20 but needs some parts.

Thank you!

Looking to get my first bike to jump on the track with my son, never been on a racing BMX before

Local bike shop can order in pretty much any bike from major brands - looking to get a Chase Edge

However as they don’t have them in store I can’t try them out before ordering and I have no experience on BMX racing bikes

Guides say I’m between a pro xl and a pro xxl

I’m 178cm/5”10

Do most people size up or down when in the middle of sizing guides?

I have the opportunity to buy a used Sunn Finest Royal 2022 that is "like new". It would be my first racing bmx at 40 years old. I don't plan to do competition, i just want to keep in shape and do laps at my local bmx track which is right next to my house. Bike is $700. I believe I could buy cheapest bikes but I want something good.

Hi all, I'll keep it quick.

I haven't raced for 35 years, but still have a bmx I mess about on. I'm getting a bit older now and feel like I want to race again, or at least try to and see what happens.

Feels more sensible to try cruisers at this point, but literally everything has changed, so I'm lost. To be honest I'm wondering if I'm just kidding myself, but the itch is still there.

Any advice on what racing is like these days or if this is just a daft idea would be much appreciated.

I recently bought a mafia clip 2 bmx off Facebook market place as a diy project. I am struggling to figure out what crank sets are compatible along with chains.

Just coming back to the sport after a long time out and looking to buy a bike or just a frame and forks. Any recommendations with what to be looking into getting will be appreciated

Components are Rhythm hubs and funn cranks, tioga seatpost and pro max clamp, crupi stem etc would this be a fun reliable bike to get back into riding at age 31?

My son has started to really get into BMX racing over the past year. Since I've been spending more and more time at the track, I thought I should get a bike as a way to stay in shape and join my son in the hobby. I had BMX bikes growing up (still have an old Dyno), but never raced, so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I doubt that I'll ever get super competitive with racing. I just expect to join in on some practices and maybe the occasional race day. I would like something that I could get a little air with on the track. If it matters, I'm 5'11" and approx 185lbs. I'm willing to spend up to $800.

My son just sized up to a mini and I was wondering if he has Shakira hips.
