the left right audio is still broken but its an easy fix in your editing software
Not in Windows Movie Maker
@@TJVids who tf uses movie maker and btw you can also fix the audio in a free software called audacity
That intro was some legendary infomercial shit.
Osom😍😱🤢
Hell yea
.
Hey phil swift here, from flex tape
Tat man runs like a jiggly bear 🐻
Alfredoo! "no more bitching about left right audio" but now it only hears on left side! Makes watching your vid with headphones really uncomfortable. Just being constructive. Abrazo!
Lol yea we had a setting off on the camera, will be fixed by tomorrow's video ☺🤘🏽+xploi
Awesome!
xploi tru man
xploi i so fucking agree with you
xploi same
In Russia we say measure 7 times, cut once

alf, i just looked up "how to make bmx bike lighter" as i got the notification for this video. my luck is unbelievable
I Can't believe that!! LMAO!
Jose Joseplao holy crap that happens to me a lot like I was looking on how Romanesque my bike dialed as soon as I looked it up alfredo uploaded a video of how to make it dialed😂
T&P Bikevids i couldnt even believe it as i got the notification 😂 thats sick lmaoo
Jose Joseplao only with alf
Weight weenie
Alfredo that was the lamest intro yet, but I loved it
haha so harsh
I tell it how it is man, but are you guys selling the new stickers by themselves or only sending them out with orders? I just ordered a month or so ago so I'm not gonna be getting anything too soon, but the stickers are definitely sick
lmao that into was cheesy cant lie to you bro but it cracked me up
Why u guys hating? He actuallly try's for his channel and u guys give him shit😐
Not hating haha it's just a fact that the intro was cheesy
Rain drop drop top watching Alfredo's vlogs on someone's hot spot
SPOOOOTTTTT!
Bmx Life literal fire
Alfredo Mancuso hey what kind of saw do you have to use yo cut the axel coz mine are really long
Hunter Bass big
Bmx Life ha
the minimum on the seat post is actually for how high you can put the seat up in the frame before it is dangerous and could Bend or break.
It also helps to use the first piece you cut from the bars to measure the other side. Just a note for anyone who stumbles across this comment.
bikes these day are already pretty Dam light already. I remember starting on those heavy 35+ pound bmx bikes lol
Hofmann Bikes Butcher Pro veteran reporting in.. 🤣
Me to dude i think my first bike was a Dyno compe heavy as fuck.. n I just have a mirraco now but it's half the weight maybe
Unknown Adkins My first and current bmx is a 2001 dyno air mags and I’m guessing it’s 40 pounds and I’m sore after practicing manuals
@@mikejones8269 I bet
Mines prolly about 25, kent frestyle i got from the trash
your the man alf!!!! IL b in Cali in about a month....as soon as I land my ass is headed to oss 100%..... keep up all the banging Vids!! big fan up in MD!!
hey alf im having trouble doing pick up bars and hop bars im 6 foot 2 and cant grip my seat, i can sort of pinch my seat when i ride left foot fwd but i ride right foot fwd any tips cheers
you never showed the final weight saved
tru
Dominic Cox Im pretty sure this video was a joke
Northwest Best Bmx My best estimate would be about 140lbs saved.
The video's just got alot better 👌
Great idea weighting the pieces that come off! Even though I've been at this awhile, I super enjoy learning new things! Thanks for the great videos dude. Wes Sept
50K subscribers. is COMING dude.. congrats!
40 mins to save 8 ounces haha. I'm fat so I can lose more weight then my bike lol
Kyle Schwanz I'm a pretty overweight rider as well. I'm 235lb hence I opted for full chromoly lol
11:27 helium makes your tires heavier btw
Agreed. You need MORE helium vs (normal) air to fill the tires to be able to ride.
Helium provides lift
Hubert M ya stoopid
HeLiUm PrOviD3s liFT ERGHHH
Plus helium won't stay in your tires. It will leak out and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Its literally pointless lol. Use nitrogen, it won't be any lighter but it will help performance.
Dude, I think your video was good because it is helpful to kids learning to work on a bike. I have been into BMX since 1982. What you are showing will shave less than a pound or two. I would mention an aluminum seat post, and bars. I would be glad to give you more ideas if you are interested. I've been an ornamental Ironworker for 20 years.I know some things that older guys like us could pull off because we have the tools.
One quick question what's a light street tire? Are the BSD donnesqeak tires light?
I read that you never put grease on your seat post because it forces you to over tighten the clamp, eventually breaking something. You're supposed to use assembly lube that has particles in it that increase friction.
You only put a tiny amount for it to slide down the frame.
that frame is sooo nice
Alfredo what is a good mid bottom bracket that I can run I'm building up a costume bmx bike
hi pls can you help me i wanna show u my bike and tell me what should i remove because my bmx has different frame
+ Alfredo Mancuso you forgot to show the scale lmao Personally, if you can't hop on a 30lb or even more bike, most times its awful technique. Rotational weight is a factor, but with most bikes 27 or less pounds not many need to shave weight. Cut bars, post and overly extended axles and you probably lost 1/2 pound but the bike will feel better
This video was really funny it made laugh man keep it up
i have a question about bottom bracket bearings just bought a new frame and needed to know if to go from a 19 mm to 22mm does the outer casing of the bearings change for the frame or just the inside of the bb to accommodate for the spindle if someone could help me out with this thank you so much
can i loose my we the people lifetime waranty if i cut steerer tube of my patron fork ? ty for answer
the Eastern grave Digger has a open slot on the bottom bracket tube
And so had the Grim Reaper. Might wanna look it up - especially the titanium version. 🤩
new mic was a good idea.. but honestly the audio was pretty fucked throughout the video. like at 2:07 ..left side is loud as hell but the right is quiet as hell. just figure where to place it so it has the perfect sound :)
Richard Contreras the audio should be set on mono
Drill through your spindle. I drilled straight through mine and took off 2 ounces. I drilled away strategic places in my seat, and drilled holes in non important bolts like the seat bolt and seat clamp bolt(i also drilled holes in the welded piece of metal that makes up the seat post clamp on newer bikes.. also take off any washers on your axles, and all tiny washers on screws. I even drilled holes in the top of my pegs because i have never seen a chromoly peg break and it gives me more grip for peg manuals.
dude this is probably the funniest video on the internet haha... i was laughing the whole time
Dude the left side only works on headphones and it's really weird hearing only left side. And we are still bitching
Did you really say “no more bitching about left and right audio” when it’s only in my left ear?
I did!
If i can compare my bike for you to know it would be the steve churchill vs 50lbs bike that john hicks put up alex supra e rims with the extensions for the 14mm axle 48 spokes would love to make my metal kizz lighter
The combined weight of two 1/2" long pieces of 7/8" OD, 0.035" wall, 4130 steel tube is less than half an ounce (0.416 ounces). The weight of a 3-1/2" long piece of 1" OD, 0.125" wall, 6061 aluminum is less than 2 ounces (1.8848 ounces). Total weight saved is a whopping ~2.3 ounces.
Helium doesn't make your bike lighter it makes it heavier. Yes helium it's lighter but it's also a lot smaller so if you want to fill up your tires it would take a lot more helium particles to fill it, resume air it's best choice.
Helium does make your tires lighter for the same pressure in the tire. It would not take a load more helium particles to fill it (decent assumption that the air and the helium are both ideal gasses) however apparently as the helium atoms are smaller they diffuse much faster through the tire making it flat faster, which is of course bad
@@instinctscooter th-cam.com/video/vJNg4njdyLo/w-d-xo.html
I thought they use hydrogen in tyres because it doesn't heat up or expand at high speed
what pedals are those?
Cj Zeller not yours
I said "what" pedals, not "whos" pedals you fuckin rock head.
Cj Zeller 😂
Correct me if i'm wrong but pipe cutters are for copper and black iron anyway so that might be why they dull easy on seat posts. Just saying. I personally never thought to use one.
Literary the funniest video I’ve seen Alf do even tho that this is old. Still funny af
The GO! hat!!!! IM DIGGIN IT
The audio on the camera you took back from nate is bad alf:( doesn't sound to good the other one was perfect.
Me and phil had the mic skewed to one side. Will be fixed 🙏🏻❤+GhostGaming432
probabbly your best intro yet haha
Hi this is snidden Fernandes from Mumbai India I wanted to buy a new bike which site would u suggest me a good bike with resnable price plssss
Lol you forgot always take your valve caps off for weight reduction haha awesome video
you forgot to cut off those pegs. #DeadWeight #SadPeglessSociety
Pipe cutter is a great tool. Yet it also flares out the pipe (bars, seat post) your cutting. So, some light filing might be involved. Good stuff
eastern had some frames with cutouts in them. sick looking frames. but mostly only the titanium frames snapped because titanium is brittle at a certain thickness.
Another great video. #everyonesfuckin
Thanks my guy!!
Alfredo Mancuso no problem homie.
Yoooooo #alfgang
my dude!
Manuel Cruz today
i have an older bike, it was a gt soca but i changed some parts on it and it's around 30 or so pounds and i dont mind it
Yo ill actually prolly try the axle chop maybe mine are actually hella long dude thanks alf
I'm going to comment just to see if you reply to me lol I'm a fan boy bro
🕺🏼🤘🏽+GALAXY A
Alfredo Mancuso I'm for sure a super sub now

What u wany ;)
Alfredo Mancuso lmao😂
Alfredo Mancuso lol
Chris Collins BMX bro I literally just saw you at John hicks channel and you got pinned!😂
T&P Bikevids ik its lit lol
We just shaved an 8th of an ounce. You can also sand off the paint and graphics if you're going for ounces. Just remember to polish it daily to avoid corrosion.
ooooh, shit I'm pumped for some new stickers!!! good vid alf! #alfgang
You need to shave your weight not BMX rip
this is a terrible video .....its so cheezy
How about buy an aluminum frame? Instead of steel or cromo... what's the price diff
The mic was only playing on the left ? Maybe it wasn't plugged in all the way or it could be something in the editing software that made the left speaker on 100 and right on 0
this dude dont know how to use a tape measure xD
sadly I don't
sir, i have a request. if you dont mind.
can you post a video explaining the different types of bottom bracket and it's sizing for bmx?
and how to it affect in the frame and in the cranks.
peace fo that. :)
Lol theirs 2 hole on each side of the front of the frame mine as it to and the back peg.. I got hit bye a car a few weeks ago Nd the car it the extra metal and I just bounced a bit fowerd thanks for the vid!
what you took off in seat post you added with grease
are the stickers negative weight reduction aswell?
Right ear really enjoyed thisssss.
I only listen to stuff with my right headphone in and I thought my headphones broke, thanks Fredo 😂✌🏼
Is this bmx 20s or bmx cruiser with 24s
best intro ever!!!! hahahah this is awesome
How much excess weight did you shave off? I was waiting for the results or did I mess when he said it
which kg is better for beginner? 14.5 is good?
really enjoyed the video I'll be back for tomorrow
this has been by far the funniest video i have ever seen by you
I like what you said about no brakes I never have brakes on any of my BMX bike
Eastern is the bikes that have cut outs in the headtube, seattube and bottom bracket. Also nitrogen in your tires saves on rotational weight
So weird i did all this in the morning before i saw this vid i even went an weighed what i cut off my bars an seat post, around 5.7 oz. watched your vid on how to cut bars an headed off to get a pipe cutter as soon asi woke up. Love the channel an daily vids. Stay fukkin.
I love the intro dude!
Just added weight after replacing my primo powerbite cranks with some bsd substance XL's lmao
Awesome video Alfredo 👌
And when are you guys moving?
March 1st
What size is the pivotal bike seat pole measurements
I'd like to see u ride an old standard frame with Alex rims from back in the day haha
Great audio quality... My right speaker on my headphones work but not my left
great video Alfredo good information
huge help for me alf !! thanks !! 😁😁😁👍
You was a lil to energetic today my dude... haha great vid Alfredo!❤
Etweeen Films he was on crack
I used to always use the cheaper regular chains and I would snap them just from pedaling cause I never did any grinds or stalls when I used them I broke about 1 chain every week
Thx bro this really did help a lot 😊
I really like that baras
where can i get them
what tool would you need to remove pegs? I dont think i have it
theyre metal rant pegs btw, and not screw off walmart pegs
Should i have brakes on my first bike?
I took off all brakes and brake lines the hole set up and bout to take off the kick stand
From where you got these stand?
What is the brand of the frame?
what tyres are on that bike please?
I only have audio on the left side of my head set. Btw they are and they cost 300 so the best quality audio sucks plz fix
haha i had to sub just for that legendary intro haha
