My heart breaks when i think that i could have been riding all these years. I thought i was too big this whole time, even as a teen, people said the bike looked too small cuz it wasnt a mountain bike. We're all running out of daylight folks, we gotta have as much fun as we can before our street lights come on. 💪🤙🙏
Honestly I love going on a ride when the street lights come on. Its a whole other Vibe
@@shortyloc710 typically I'd agree....but in this scenario, the street light is death. Haha
I'm over 340lbs, and I just bought an unboxed complete 2022 Kink Williams for 599.99. I can't wait to get back riding and lose some weight. I used to live on my 96 Dyno Air (which I still have) It's been 25 years and I'm trying to get my sea legs back. As soon as I can figure out this clunky drive train, I'll be golden, haven't even riden it yet. All the best to my fellow heavy riders 🤙💪🤙 #goballsout
am 211 lbs. I bought and built this bike: Kink Tactic frame 20,5", Shadow vultus featherwieght handlebar 8,75", Rant spring brakes, Subrosa steam, BSD low profile headcap witrh Rant headset, BSD Acid fork, Rant party on V2 rims, Subrosa sawtooth tires, Shadow sabotage sprocket 28T, Shadow stacked mid krankboks, Cult chain, shadow surface plastic pedals, Subrosa trashed seat, Cult layback seatpost, Subrosa grips/Shadow ol dirty grips
I have too many bikes, so I wanted a BMX for around $500 to get back into it I'm 6'1 and 260lbs. Local bike shop had a Fit series 22, which I like a lot so far.
GREAT video. I'm in the same boat as you 'size wise'.
I’m bigger and have found 4130 chromoloy is the best thing to ever help us out! Profile cassette hub takes a hell of a lot of abuse too. I was more concerned at 36 hole rims being the thing , reality of it is wheels seem to have come a long way over the years. Double wall is a absolute minimum like you say.
Thanks for info 🤙🏻
I always have problems with my left bolt on my stranger bike
Do you have a video on bmx parts?
Looking to get back on a bike for the 1st time in 35yrs lol used to race back in the day and want to get a bike strong enough for a track I found, I'm 6ft 230lbs what would you reckon, price doesn't bother me...I have my old PL24 from the 80's but scared I'll snap the old girl lol..
I actually made it my goal to lose weight this year just for bmx. To include some muscle mass where I don't need it. Stopped lifting heavy and have a lot more focus on my diet
Hello @BMX Nerds
I feel a little frusterated with the forum tool you have created as far as range of height. I thought using your tool for a top three bikes would be perfect, until I saw your tallest height was “6”+,” which I feel like only takes into account riders in the 6 to 6’3 range which isn’t very big. I am 6’9, 330lbs (planning to drop 100lbs within the next year), and just 30 days short from being 25-years-old.
I feel silly writing this, but I’m trying to search forum after forum on anyone with a height like mine with recommendations. Apologies if this is long-winded, it’s currently 6:36am as of writing this and am yet to sleep.
I’m 280 so I made a tank build lol. I have a custom FBM frame, all Odyssey parts and custom Gsport Ribcage wheels. Sad that FBM is not around anymore. If anyone knows a good custom frame company let me know.
I thought i am the inly one who likes bmx bikes in 2023❤
Look for lifetime warranty parts.
