Old school BMX will always be my true love! I don’t care much for new age bikes
I used to be like that now I'm the opposite- the past is best left there!
The wheels now are way stronger.
@@robertlund5694 most new school bikes look the same, no personality whatsoever. Those low seats are ridiculously uncomfortable. Old school bikes are beautiful, super expensive and highly collectible for a reason!
@@mr.irrelevant3588 never had a problem with old school wheels so I don’t understand your comparison. Plus I’m a mag fan… skyway, GT fans, ACS etc
Old school bikes definitely had more personality. All bikes now look the same.. but they are way better. Most old school bikes I see have a yard stick for a seat post and the handlebars are so far forward your chest is above the front tire lol
I'm 39 and getting my 10 year old into BMX... Things have definitely changed since cruising my GT Interceptor in the early 90's. This video made allot of sense and was clear. Thanks for the videos.
Loved the opening skit it was funny asf😂
First try 😂
BOSS was good shit! At the time... old-school brings back those great memories, but new stuff is much better, with exception to character. New bikes all look the same, can't even tell what brand they are if you remove the stickers.
Thanks for the break down. My BMX days were in the late 90's and i was a bit lost with these new bikes. They do not catch my eye at all haha. But knowledge is power. Thanks for showing the differences.
No hablo inglés pero por lo que ví es como han cambiado las bicis yo tengo una bici Trek vértigo 4130 y una fishbone ( jumping ) y otras que tuve como GT , Haro, Dk , hoffmann , schiwin etc, entre los 80,90, 2000, hubo muchos cambios saludos desde Bogotá 🇨🇴 👍🚲
Hola bro, sabes de Haro? Tengo una duda, quiero cambiar las ruedas de mi downtown por unas 2.40, entraran? Tendria que cambiar los aros/rines? Gracias🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just purchased a 20 in Fat Tire folding e bike, I've been researching and looking up stuff ,this brings back such awesome memories, I'm 53 me and my best buds were so into BMX in our teens, we had Diamondback supergoose mongoose GT Redline it was awesome ! even the parts we used to have I'm starting to remember again I just ordered a pair of odi mushroom grips for my new bike and a laid-back seatpost, 80s BMX
... nothing was better, I'm really interested what the new school is looking like as far as BMX . I can't do it anymore but I love to watch it awesome fun guys
this is so timely for me wow. i have a '97 gt mach one that i decided not to "rebuild." it has a bunt crank among other issue buts it's actually ridable. instead a bought a brand new sunday and couldn't be happier!
We love you Phu! You are BMX’s BEST. Ride on Epically!
Used to ride OS & midschool bmx since 1997. I have a GT freestyle pro & Kuwahara Bravo back in the days.
Started using newschool bike last year.
Game changer! 🤘🏼🔥
That cult frame is amazing looking! I need go build up a bike so bad! I have a 29er but wanna go back to the fun times on a 20 but im also 6'3" now so kinda hard
Mod up or loose out boy on the old school. Easy as mate. Just tell everyone the truth. I put 990 mount on my xxl robinson and re chromed it at 17. Was easy to do. Just my time and electro plating. But man it worked so well and like a dime to stop. Also upgrade the robinson dropouts to 8mm for racing and dirtbiking. Re chromed again and was the best bike with balance I've ever riden.
Very helpful video, thanks!
Phu is a great actor brotha fr an love your videos alf you're the man
You should do more of that acting opening🤟
Clicked on the video for giggles and grin's, I'm looking to restore my 85 Robinson pro and know what will and will not work, but I like your comedic approach to the topic.
Love this. Great explanation.
I love Phu videos. Guy knows sooooo much, it's mind blowing.
You guys should compare 90s bikes they kinda pioneered all the oversized and sealed parts i also ride triple traps on my 81 supergoose and my 93/4 gt mach one
Nice video Alfred. Very interesting topic.
Just I'm a quite disagree with Phu today. Actually, 1 1/8 forks may fit into a os frame. They aren't 1" head tube strictly, so you've room for it.
I made it twice and that works very well.
Super dope video idea. I had pit Bull2 breaks, shark bite pedals, cook 3 piece cranks and the same handle bars on my Elf double up frame with matching forks. However the execution of the video was a little to busy, too fast. Good info on a great video but slow it down some.
BMX is fascinating as its just so damn technical and im talking old school and new school.. i bought myself a Mongoose Pro XL and its AMAZING
Great info, thank you
1976 was my first bmx, 1985 haro master torker proX, but I love my FIT sandm for riding today more reliable and no flex
Very cool...im 60 and this helps me understand the difference..thank you
I built mix school bikes since 06.. there are 7/8" pivotal posts out. Conversion HS 's are easily made. New GT hubs have 3/8" axles, 2.1 tires fit OS frames. I run all 1.85s on all my bikes.
Dope shop bro!
Old School !! Boss and Robinson 👍
💪🏼🎉
Today’s BMX bikes just look too similar to me.Back in the day,you knew what an SE PK RIPPER or QUADANGLE looked like,you knew what a MONGOOSE SUPERGOOSE or PRO CLASS looked like,you knew what a SKYWAY TA looked like,you knew what a DIAMOND BACK HARRY LEARY TURBO looked like, you knew what a HUTCH PRO STAR looked like,or a TORKER or a HARO or a CW or a HUFFY RACING or a MURRAY or a RALEIGH R6000.These are just a few old school BMX bikes,there are loads more i could mention like GT, JMC, PROFILE, REDLINE,etc,etc.These bikes had character.Todays bikes just look the same.Sorry,but as an old timer,I’d take a PK RIPPER over a WE THE PEOPLE every day of the week.
@@derekharrison1582 I bet you still use a rotor phone. I get it, it's better.
@@derekharrison1582 www
the intro is sooooo accurate, omgg. "I thought this was a bmx shop"
You can move to slotted axles to make new school rims to fit old school bikes if you get the proper slot size.
I still have my old GT Interceptor from the early 90s I believe. I would like to give it to my son to ride, but it needs tires and brakes. Old brake system is completely gone. What would you recommend as replacements?
These are my favourite types of videos
PS i love your shop.....that is the way a specialty shop SHOULD look!
BMX are like cars. New ones are engineered to perfection. But old school ones have style 💯
Good stuff!
I had a 2001 Gt Dyno VFR with one piece cranks. I didn’t know at the time that one piece cranks have 1/2 inch pedals so when I bought 9/16 odyssey pedals I had to switch out the spindles to make them fit.
*dyno vfr
Good information
I own a Hutch Pro Racer frame and a We The People Stud flatland bike and a Specialized Vegas Pro bike. I like em all,but my oldschool bikes are my favorites. I have alot of bikes
I recently inherited a Specialized flyboy and I don't know in the slightest where to start to try and restore it lol I just bought some generic parts and made it work but I really wanted it to look good I don't think I'll ever get it back to what it used to look like
Awesome !
I have a pair of boss ladder bars. With the crazy 3 cross bars.
Very helpful video
Hey Alfredo I bought a mongoose Cali special repop out of the box it was pretty easy to assemble but I stuck with the diaconpe Mx brakes my rear brake only one side moves when I press the lever the other side seems to be stuck and won’t move, I’ve played around with it but just can’t figure it out
A video on the new repop diacompe brakes would be cool
Cheers Silas
I have a question about that 1" to 1-1/8" converter. Does it have a hollow allen bolt down the middle to run the front brake cable?
Most or all of those adapters are made from aluminum, and would not survive for more than a few minutes if you plan to do any aggressive riding.
14mm slotted axles slide right in a 3/8 dropout.No frame mutilation necessary.
True that. Classic.
Lol- yeah right- so many frames were cut and now they are being put back to 10mm!
@@robertlund5694 i have a 2002 gt tour 2, i actually ground them to take 14mm axles.But their seriously an inch thick so no worries of stressing the frame.
Hey I think this is first vid where phu didn't tell us to unsubscribe lol. I really could watch all day epic vids. I bet a bunch of shenanigans 🤪 happen.
We needs another Ethan n phoo episode 😭
There's now lots of connectors and adapters for all parts new school or old school for any bike
My dbi patriot has 2.35 primo walls they are a tight fit lol but work awesome
When did the 1/2” pedals stop being made?
I havent rode bmx sense mid 90s I had some really nice bikes my baby was a 91,92,_94 gt pro performer tour with crash dummies decals hade crank hard for grinding and every thing then I hade mongoose expert black with all the pads that was my bmx and freestyle bikes and I hade a few more that weren't as treasured to me if I could find my gt and expert I'd love it I left them some where as I got into girls and high school some where
I found an 85 MCS styler frame in my garbage truck. Got anything for one of those? I really need a full crankset and rear freewheel.
I just came across your channel 2 days ago because ive been rebuilding this old next bike I no it ain't no bmx but I'm 44 I'm just want to ride anyway I hope you respond back because your video on spoke lacing is the best 1 I've seen real talk so as I'm doing as you said in the video it's going down right than I hit a snag because spokes wouldn't fit or whatever so my question is if the flange spoke rim it self has any type of bend in them is worth less or is there still away I can still lace the rim
Could you put a 20x2.1 on the Robinson and change the width on rim by a little with a double sided hub with a 3/8 axle with a 13t on one side 16t on the other and put a 39t sprocket.
What did you say?
Hi I have a 1997 huffy flatbed, do u know what seats I can replace it with? Thnx
Phu with the knowledge. Thnx guys
Hey have to say profile do a hub axle in titanium and cromoly to 10mm/38 from the 14 mm. Maybe for thier hubs but i haven't checked to other hubs
don't make me breakout my 1980 Patterson racing frame nickel played !! 44-16 gears baby..
Yeahhhhhhh ethan lights camera action 🎥😂
1 1/8 threaded headsets are hard to find, good ones at least.
Ok yall gotta do more skits
Old school bikes, the lighter the better. We use to crack frames on a regular! They were racing bikes
Ok now you gotta build a new-old school with all the mods that you can give it to make it stronger! Im acctaully ridin on a frankenbike like that... you show me yours ill show ya mine lol
I have a dk sentry that got gifted to me. Would I be able to put 2.4 tires on it?
Standard STA500 first oversized head set
💯
What is the size of tire on bmx on newschool??
I build motorcycles. Have been since 2000. And forever I've been wondering who came up with the term "old school". Like why TF are we talking about school?
Anyone know what’s up with the PK Ripper 2006 team model headset!? Can’t find headset to fit? Help
have a old school frame my problem with it is i have to make a hole just to put a gyro brake on it
so cool ❤️❤️
Phu Do you sell 14 mil axels slotted to 3/8s? Thats what i use on all my old bikes that have 3/8s front and back. the only 3/8s I have is on my Schwinn orange crate and my apple crate.
Surprises me how many people don't know that there's a big difference between old school and new school bike technology has sure changed from the 80s to now I'm like you Foo I'm old schooler from the '80s but I know the difference between the old and the new
You should coin the phrase "it won't work." Put that on shirts and hats and stuff to sell as merch or your channel
I like that store of bike, and i love old school bike 👍👊
I still ride my 86 mongoose fs1 freestyle I never bought a new bike it's the only one I'll own besides my old black diamond back
Yo what’s up alf
i had a 84 diamondback formula 1, best bike i ever rode, it was so fast.
My 80s BMX was as much about transportation as doing tricks. Little sprockets and low seat wouldn't of worked for me
Yes exactly!
The rear gear is small to match, but I totally agree about the seat post issue.
Yeah, I hate the low seats!
Its almost like everything new is better than the old school stuff :)
What’s up Alfredo 🤙
Great video!
Is that a Powerlite Pro frame?
I never realized Ethan has a Totenkopf on the back of his shirt. 😬
You can actually use a 1 1/8” fork on a old school 1” frame . It takes mix and matching headset parts and free balling the bearings. I ve done several times works just fine. Let me know if you want pics. I just built a 1978 mongoose with SE landing gear threadless forks. It works like a dream bro.
i 'free balled' back in the 80's....chick did NOT dig
I converted my 1979 Schwinn 36-36 from threaded to threadles forks... of course I had to trim the inside of the bearing cups usings a dremel... Very very close fit btw !.. also had to do away with the bearing casings (tins) and straight run the bearings... if you've went this far, USE THE BEST HIGH GRADED GREASE YOU CAN FIND to make it last as long as possible. PS: Water Resisitant Grease Is The Way To Go ! Don't Be CHEAP Buy The Good Shit .!.. =_=
ddamnnn nice
NEw wheels fit my 86 mongoose I do use a little thinner tire tho
‼️QUESTION‼️
Hiya brody, i got me a question: How do i know if my Haro Downtown got nuff clearance for a 2.4? I just got into bmx and got no clue bout what im doin, ty
Only thing i haven't found is a sealed bearing hub on the 1 inch to work with a gen 1 gyro so far. Tell me if someone has done it. I will buy that and tell everyone to buy it
Have to ask, if "old school" dates back to the early '80's to the mid 90's(?), would my 1978 Torker be considered "antique"?
What's with the upside down oakleys?
Dirtbike grips " won't " work because the throttle grip has a larger diameter hole!
True
Hey guys! Anyone know where I can get a Schwinn Z Flash from the 90s? I had it when I was a teenager and unfortunately it was stolen from me at the time. I would like to buy another one as a souvenir. Maybe someone has a tip for me. thank you
place bude bo a video of mid school vs new school
Over the years BMX has changed from 1" steerer to 1" 1/8 and tube sizes have changed on frames and back ends of frames have got shorter from 14" to 13" to 12" back ends and BB has changed from American BB to Mid BB's
I wish I could ride a chainstay under 13". The heel of my size 11 shoes LOVE to get caught under my rear pegs at the worst times HAHAHAHA
Pros and cons but at least BMX is moving in the right direction.
@@oldguyrips535 I’m size 12 and I’ve got a 13 back end
the transition from 1" to 1 1/8" head tubes was more like in 96 / 97ish
The gt piston stem made the jump and survived !
The heads did some dirty shit making it impossible to rebuild a bike
I did a retro frame with newer parts for one of my friends and it worked out fairly easy
Old school has 1" threaded Forks, Mid school has 1 1/8" forks with bigger bearings and new school has integrated frames with integrated bearings 👍👍
How much for that Boss frame???
10/10 acting from both
