thank god for taller riders and modern top tube lengths i'm 6' tall and recently moved up to a 21.666 tempered frame and it feels amazing. having more room also makes us taller dudes look a little less dumb when riding a bike with little wheels😂
all in the mind . 6ft 4 n ride sitting down no problems etc etc..when talking please more visuals on the bike not the dude talking just add subtitles option if your worried and love how hes running a tyre backwards without noticing its something i do all the time lool but because im noob lol
Thank you van Homan for all the great bike check videos I love you and and I appreciate you being alive and for bringing your contributions to bmx as the living legend that you are sir much and respect thanks for all your hard work
Love the frame, have it in red colourway, best geo i’ve had so far. The bar is also great, went also right now for 9,75’ but had the same bars in 9,5’. Pedals are out of this world, have a really great feel on bike with these. ❤
@@vl995My fiend reynolds stem has been shredded and never let me down. I’ve been riding Garrett’s sig stem and bars for a long time now because he’s the barspin master in the streets and I love that trick so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with that geo. Holds up strong though, fiend front end 👊🏻👍🏻
everyone is so different with bike geometry its interesting to me. i'm 6" and went to a 21.666 from a 21" and i couldn't imagine going back to a 21" bc it felt way too cramped and tiny as hell. if i rode a 20.75 i reckon i would loop out and die😂
@@pauljames1978 true. longer reach stem works if you want more room but i needed a more stable ride as well with a longer wheelbase. couldn't be happier with the way my bike rides i just need a little bit more than the extra legroom you get from a longer stem
@@garygary6032 13” back end would be great for you it’s not too short right in the middle for me go shorter 12.75 12.5 for more technical trick or 13.5 to 14 for more of a dirt wheel base what offset fork you running I’m running 20 offset forks 👍🚲💨
Just saying, he’s riding federal 24mm vice cranks in this bike check, , he usually rides 160mm because back foot clearance but I think he left the cranks out because it’s another brands product.
@@ksick2856 imo , shoes type matters . I run 160’s , 12.5 frame but the rear wheel pulled back at around 12.7-12.8ish . The clearance is actually quite bad but i placed my feet at a non comfortable position for other people but not me 😆
RideNow tubes retail 7 bucks each, come with patches. They have 2.1 (28g)and 2.5 (48g). Why you guys aren't selling them I do not know. Oh yeah, they are presta and an adaptor costs 20 cents, that must be why. You should have Cyclami make a 30mm schrader version. Rubber tubes ain't 2 bucks no mo.
Van is the perfect guy for this. Dude is such a legend.
👊
He truly asks the right questions and breaks it down with out being a nerd about it. Spot on ish
Bmx is good people.
Lewis mills ride is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯💯💯
Source is providing for the people with the info. Good job $ource
Thanks!

Ever consider a 22" BMX?
@@x88868 20" wheels feel fine for me but i'd be down to play around with a 22"

When Lewis said going back to classic 2000's bmx, I could feel a happy tear in Homan's eye 🥲
Lewis knows his bike! Nice 👍🏽
💯✌️
Sounds like the frame geo on this one is perfect for anyone over 6 foot looking for a street setup.
Ive been trying to figure out his TT, bar rise, and height for so long. 🙌🙌
Same here

clean ass build!

I’ve always rode a 21 and I’m 6 foot four I decided to go for a 20.75 JJ v3 frame with a 53mm stem feels like a 21 when I’m riding it though 🔥👍🚲💨
What offset fork?

He's got a signature topload from fiend and then Garrett got him on his stem and now he's not going back to his signature topload. 😂
Oh shit I didn’t think about that lol
Lmao for real!!!
Size cranks he rode and sprocket tooth?
Beautiful bike 😍
💯💥
👊
You guys are super OG🤙
😈
🔥
Can you explain why he doesn’t run his signature stem?
@@adittian25because he prefers to ride a front load. He literally says it in the video
can you guys make jack miller bike check too ?
My favorite rider
Lew the man
💯
Mills is 6.2" riding frontload stem on 9.5 bars.
Im 5.8" riding topload stem with 9.5 bars.
Should i lower my front end ?
I got frontload
Wow i didnt know frontload makes you hop higher !
What Hub Guards are these??

Did they mention what size cranks he was running ??
He’s been on 160s forever
@@allbran7095 oh wow. Small for a tall guy.
@@ksick2856its kind of like for clearance on back pegs rather than smaller crank on a big dude
@@themuhaiminmzln I get that. I have size 14 feet but ride a 13.6 chainstay. So 165/170 still have clearance. But probably not like not on a 13.1.

eclaw or eclat ? is it a nickname or something ?
The T is silent. The word is French.
the way its pronounce maybe
Eclat’ is a German company. The T is not pronounced

bro meant kids from switzerland?
Pretty sure he meant 22 CRU
felix prangenberg bike check , please!!
Ah Louie Lou' I can I ride your bike yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh!!
But why upside down chain? lol 🙃
He basically stated, "Just because we are racist and this is a white county, it does not mean this cannot happen."
Brakeless, street bike, shorter back end, something responsive. Would love to see something different. 98% of these are copy paste street riders
6:53 bro you meant switzerland not sweden @22cru4ever
