- So many small little differences I never really appreciated until I started riding other bikes.

110mm rear axle spacing comes from coaster brake hubs. BMX bikes adopt new standards and tech VERY slowly, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Some people used to turn coaster brakes into freecoasters.
This was actually super cool! I knew basically nothing about BMX bikes before this video, and tbh didn't care too much about them until it got a bigger role on the chanel. Thanks for sharing, and for opening me up to a whole other side of the sport!
Thanks Michael! Its funny how these were the only things i used to know before getting into all the other worlds of bikes
the GT trip triangle with the bmx bars is insane
It should get even better too!
Now for the question: What's the plan for that Pink 20" bike?
thats for me to know, and you.. to find out?
@@Spindatt Perfect bike for that E-bike conversion.....lol, Clown 🤡bike
This is perfectly timed🤣 I've just finished building my first BMX
Wow a whole vid for my stupid drivetrain question. Thanks, now I learned something from the BMX world.
haha you weren't the only person wondering what the heck was up with the left side drive
I want to see you riding the new bike 👍🏼
Great vid bud
I'm not a BMX'r but found this very interesting
This isn’t really what you were talking about but BMX race bikes have gone to tapered head tubes .. they have also gone to carbon and disc brakes
Huge difference between that and my 1985 Mongoose Californian. That said back then we just raced and hit the biggest jumps we could find. Great info!
hey we still kind of do that same thing today! haha
That is cool info to know! Loved seeing those GTMX shed bar spins too.
Adult (ish) me would love to see a steel roadie frame built with the robustness and longevity of a BMX frame.
Something admirable about a machine that can take thousands of hard impacts and still take you to school the next morning.
**this comment was inspired by Andrew Jackson’s Instagram posts, lol.
Every time I put on a road bike seat, I think "why can't this be pivotal!"
Good info. Building up a small frame Cannondale mtb into quasi-BMX.
I'm really obsessed with your channel. Haha. Genuine content 👌 I just wanted to ask you to make a video explaining why you prefer SRAM over other components. Thanks :)
As a BMX-profane cyclist, all this was fascinating to learn! Cheers.
Couple odds and ends WTP has started doing tapered forks and 25.4mm bars for some reason. Surprised you didn't mention that brakes are u brakes or handlebar rise and width.
Quirks and FeaturesTM of all your bikes now
not opposed to this
Axle size is weird too. Back in my day the common size was 14mm, but my bike had 1/2in axles 🤷🏻♂️
Lol that seems to have gotten somewhat standardized with a 3/8” front axle and 14mm rear
1/2" axles were around only for a brief moment. I had one, for some reason. 14mm took over shortly after that. then there were Homer hubs with 9/16" bolts!
The mustache makes the nose ring pop.
When you do whips, you you. Run a lhd and kick your bike anti clockwise, if your peg hits something the impact is spread over the big bearing where as if you run the wrong sided drive your more likely to kill your hub
Thanks Doug
wtp is already exprerimenting tapered frame and forks, and we're also getting "os" handlebar (if you dare to call 25.4mm bars os when 35mm are the new standard)
really? Seems a little un-needed haha
Also BMX bikes are very easy to work on now, just need a couple allen keys and a chain tool. And there's great compatibility between brands (except for a certain company's questionable stem/bar system) and great parts compatibility back maybe 15 years now?
Thanks. That was useful.
and no skateboarding ta boot!
I have my subrosa and my haro 20 inch.
I had a (cheap) BMX with external cup bearings on the steerer, 96mm front axle spacing and 40 spokes. It's sawn in half now 😅
probably for the best hahah
Now I have a better idea why bmx hub guards are sold. Grinding.
yeah the hub flanges can get reeeeeally beat up without them
curious what is diff in geometry vs yr old bmx and what that feels like / affects
biggest difference is the shorter chain stays. manuals are different and scarier haha, but easier to get into
Steeper head angle and taller stand over height?
it seems like you're speaking about freestyle bmx only in this video? Ive definietly seen a bmx bike with a tapered headtube, I think that was a racing bmx frame though
Yes definitely freestyle only. I don’t know anything at all about racing BMX stuff haha
Front load have never and will never "look better" jk it's all what ever. Glad to see someone else in this world rides all bikes and a skateboard too!
Fake news! Top-load is way nicer looking than front-load. Anyway congratulations on your new bike, I got a complete BMX last year that's pretty nice, but I've been riding it so much that I'm getting ready to put one together from the ground up that's even nicer, gonna try to get a slacker 74-ish degree head angle, longer chainstays with the brake mounts on them hopefully, more offset in the forks, integrated chain tensioners, and butted tubing for the frame, fork, and bars. I'm gonna put a 28 or maybe even a 30 tooth sprocket on there, maybe longer than typical cranks, and everything high end, 48-spline cranks, aftermarket wheels, folding tires, I'm gonna spare no expense, I mean why not, even if I use all Profile parts the complete bike will probably still be cheaper than one wheel on my wife's boyfriend's mountain bike.
110 mm is spacing for track/fixed gear bikes
Hmm, I’m more familiar with 120mm fixed gear rear hubs
@@Spindatt Duh, thanks for educating me. I know my 5 speeds are 125, thought the difference to the fixied was more than 1/2 a cm.
Coaster brakes are 110mm
Touring hubs come in 36 and 40 holes
oh yeah?
So the drivetrain is on the left since the grind pegs are on the right. Is this standard to all bmx bikes, or is this your preference with some other riders grinding on the left?
most bikes are set up stock right hand drive. there are some hubs on the market that are ambidextrous, but on most hubs you need to buy the hub that is made specific for RHD or LHD. grinding on one side or the other is just like "regular" or "goofy" stance on a skateboard or snowboard, or whether you're right- or left-handed. one just feels more natural to some people than to others. the number and arrangement of pegs on the bike is a matter of utility and preference as well. many riders use four pegs to open options for lots of grinds on both sides of the bike, but if you never use those, you can unweight the bike a bit by skipping or removing the ones you won't use, kind of like changing the travel on a suspension fork or using a cassette with a different range to suit how you ride.
I left out cranks. most cranks now are LHD and RHD compatible so you can attach the sprocket to either side. some are not ambidextrous so you would need to swap the arms, which is a PITA because pedals are threaded differently for a reason.
Handlebar clamp size isn't anything like on my "normal" bikes?
Smaller than normal bars.
yeah i think they are 7/8 aren't they? never had to think about it
I'm surprised honestly that you don't have a bmx racer?
No where to race BMX this side of Quebec
Quirky would be geometry measured in radians
I literally made this joke in my head while editing
how much does your bmx weigh?
no idea
Every fuckin thing in inches, except crank arm length, fork offset and stem reach GOD KNOWS WHY
OK, now do a trials bike
I watched the entire video of you building this the other day without noticing your drivetrain is on the left, 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah but BMX race bikes have tapered head tubes
is that more common on carbon fiber bmx bikes now? I'm out of the loop.
@@mackturtle82 not necessarily, but definitely on higher end race bikes. I have 2 that are tapered.
Race bikes maybe. thats a whole other world from what i know
Unsubs to get more quirks and features...
As a BMX-profane cyclist, all this was fascinating to learn! Cheers.
nothing beats a good list video haha!
Thanks Doug
