I watch your channel because you guys seem genuine and respectful towards BMX and Phu has shown me that after watching many of those videos. 🤘
Crazy to see how much max has grown
It’s all the bike seat foam he eats
Believe it or not, I finally subscribed to your channel after this video and I have watches ton of bmx channels the past month since I am back into bmx after 30 years. Thank you guys for your informative contents and always a good sense of humor. PS : I do not grind lol
Those empanadas look PROPER!
ARGENTINA mentioned!
Sos un capo alfredo, te bancamos fuerte desde Argentina !!!
I learned to grind on the Cal State LB benches in 1990...on Skyway pegs. On the left side. It was a weird time.
I do have the BB guard from BB buddy the company who made those...
Well today Bmx riding really do evolve same goes with the parts, back in the days it is hard to find or to purchase parts (from where I am at, Philippines) now I don't mind if I trash my bike parts It is easy to get one... and yeah! Bmx riding really evolved
5:24 I don’t understand why some people are still running metal pegs they chip ledges and dent rails. If you want your street spots to last longer and preserve them so you can ride that street spot over and over get plastic pegs with steel inserts the aluminium insert crush’s on your axle and the end burrs over so you can’t get a socket in the peg to change a flat tyre 👍🚲💨
Happy belated birthday 😅
BMX has changed so much from when I was into it.
I had a Federal Extension frame, RedLine Monster forks, Alex triple wall rims w/ RedLine Monster hubs (14mm axels & sealed bearings), Maxis Holy Roller tires, RedLine Monster neck, Pig FSA headset w/ Head Lock, Solid 1" spindle 3pc cranks, Kink 42 tooth sprocket w/ bash guard, Primo Supertendorizor pedals, KMC 420 chain, DK Pipe Bomb pegs, GT Landing Pad seat and S&M Slam bars.
Bike was a damn tank 😂 no matter what I did I could never break anything on that bike.😂
I remember constantly bending axles before they made 14mm axles
I personally don’t think I will ever crank arm grind just for the sake of my wallet. I do like lucky grinds though. Just haven’t done them in forever because I like my bike being in tip too shape.
Phu might be surprised to learn that many of those plastic bolt on guard sprockets are heavier than most straight aluminum ones... opposite of what he said. Sometimes sitting around your bike shop on a slow day you get bored, weighing parts both fills boredom and shows you how far off actual weight is from advertised weight with most brands on all parts.
great video! i love grinding, not the biggiest fan of plastic pegs. i do agree tho it can ruin a nice hub and the spokes. lol
Alfredo love the channel I used your video to learn bar spins. Thank you for all of the bangers.
Can u make a video on stem and headset spacer sizing? My odysse fork steerer tube is too short to use a tall headset cap and a new stem I got so now I can’t run my tall headset cap
The evolution has been sterling, how about those empanada$! Yo Mancuso bless them peeps with the Argentinian goodness! The last example of bmx bikes suits me swell. 4 pegs no brakes and sprocket guard short back end with a 20 off set wonderful.
Got back into riding flatland a few months ago, but made the mistake of getting plastic pegs. So much has changed since the 80's.
37. We ground on our bikes too! Lol. My first real bmx a mira 540 air im now restoring has some very nice crete rash on the right side chain stay 😂
I'm a mid school boomer so i've been pretty stubborn and still run steel pegs. tried plastics but dont like how slippery they are while doing stall tricks
I’m here, patiently waiting for my hover bmx bike.
This one was a grind to watch with the haters even being mentioned in the beginning…went from knurled to smooth tho 🤌
I'm so old I was riding icicles before the bicycle was invented.
I remember as a child knowing I would be riding for life and wondering what the future would be like , thinking about society understanding what bmx is all about .
Here I am an ice age later and society still doesn't get it .
I would rather see a young person grinding on his / her bike than see them looking for a safe space on the internet.
I stumbled across this channel by happenstance . I love the wonderment that it brings 😃😊
I feel the same way. I dont grind at all. I ride street and park with zero grinds and STILL have tons of fun.
Grinding rails has been around since the early 90s, Phu this ain't the 80s no more. Personally, I love the amount of extra combinations the grinds and peg stalls allows, and the hub guards are a necessary addition to keep the spokes in one piece.
Happy Bornday Phu!!!!
🦍
lol my threadon pegs used to unscrew on the left side
I know many that skate is using magnesium trucks and it grinds like butter. Is there a Bmx brand that have used magnesium pegs?
I've got a fitbikeco long signature complete that I stripped down and built back up with the high end parts and don't grind with that one (I use it for flatland tricks) and I've got a banged up SE bikes frame where all my old parts go to die,kinda resembles the crackhead bike lol,interesting video as usual guys🤘
7k views on a channel with 160k subs.. oof.. you should definitely be getting more views man!
Phu times sure have changed. iIm 40 and grew up with mongoose, GT, powerlite , elf, dyno, redline, and diamondback now all of those companies produce junk. I do still collect and sell all of them but after 98 they are dead to me. these new bikes make sense but wow things are different. I am drooling over that old school slam bar it would go nicely on my 95 Dyno compe.
I want to buy that black and white checkered seat in the background!! Who makes that?
I miss titanium pegs. wasn’t flybikes the first one that did the removable bash guard for the frame. If I’m correct, it was on the Dylan Smith frame. I can’t remember.
Go back way before Fly bikes for the bash guards. They were around in the 80's
@@cjwood2407 that’s what I want what I thought I just I thought Fly bike had the first removable one. So I was incorrect No big deal. I know they were around at that point in that timeframe. Because my at my friend had one.
Dude! No way! I’m old school @ 46 yrs old. I can’t see it. I polished my bikes and I didn’t want a scratch on it at all. Plus my parents would kill me b/c of the $$$ they spent. Also I mowed yards and washed cars just to raise $$$ to go 1/2 with my parents to build my first Chrome Mongoose loop tail BMX. I wasn’t going to mess it up at all.
Happy birthday Phu
How do I keep my pegs from messing up my hubs and forks I go threw a front hub and fork like nothing
Hub guards. Get the proper one and check the clearance. Make sure your wheels and hubs are tightened properly, and make sure they’re aligned when tightened down.
There’s beefier chains you can also run, to help the sprocket and rear hub teeth, if you’re not running a drive side hub guard.
Also, the best thing hands down, is to “inner” lace your wheels. This means that all of the spokes are laced to where the j-head to the spokes at the hub, are all turned inward, so all that’s outside of the hub flange is the circular base of the spoke. This allows you to grind along the whole hub and everything (for you rowdy hub guard-less riders), and prevents the spokes from breaking off at their crucial construction points.
I'm 43 and have all My bikes guarded. Hubs,sprockets etc. I like the new skool ones. You forgot to touch on dent proof tubing.Much love
that's a nice looking Toyota Tercel.
Corolla FX16!
Plastic pegs wtf haha. Anyone else remember back in the day having the metal Kink ones, like early 2000s, and you couldn't destroy those things. Think they were called Kink OGs or something. Using plastic nowaday because it slides better, whatever happened to the good ole waxing ledges haha. I do remember people using hubs guards and even drop out protectors for grinding. The dropout guards were just a pain in the a$$ to adjust. Hell even it's funny seeing the thing now is plastic pedals. Anyone else remember the good old Primo tenderizers haha. They griped amazingly but if you messed up and hit your shin it left scars haha. It's so interesting seeing how things have changed!
Isn't the left hand drive bike for grinding? What's a good leftie American bottom bracket to biy
I broke my back hub grindig a ledge , but it was my fault i didnt know what i was doing and it was unsealed hub so that didnt help lol i didnth ave hub guards either , BUT like i said it was my fault my back wheel bolts came loose and i didnt realise it was dark when i checked i saw the wheel was moving around in the frame and the hub was p**ped
Now i want some empanadas
I have 4 Spikes and I grind on them!
I know I was more on going fast, jumps, side hacks, wheelies, surfing, bunny hops and whatnot. I say if the spot is evolving and staying alive. Ride it like ya stole it. 50 and still riding.
I disagree about the slime. I have had great success pulling thorns out and keep on riding on tubes with slime. I knew thick tubes sucked tho. I have also tried tire strips but found them inconvienent and heavy
I have a Santa Cruz skate rail duct taped to my down tube for doing rock and roll to fakies. Not a grind, but I need to stop denting the fuck out of my down tube.
las empanadas son lo mejor de argentina solamente superadas por las milanesas con pure/fritas
Grinds are bike destroyers!I prefer dirt jumping and street without grinds!
Rip pat. By the title of this video i can see how thats right. I ain't watchin the full video cause i don fuck wit the channel anymore not cause its bad but because i watchin someone else live they life.
Do you guys sell skateboards at your shop too?
The title😂
Speaking of puncture resistance, what about tubolito? Are they worth it?
absolutely not. They pop like balloons.
@@deanhorneck6670 why do you say that?
@@x88868 I owned 5 tubolito tubes, all of which popped after about 30 minutes of riding or doing a simple bunny hop. They don't hold under pressure.
In Indonesia.. we call it "pastel"
Keeps em coming through the door to buy new shit.. Cha-Ching!
I don't grind my bikes! I like them to stay looking somewhat new.
What is the bike in the thumbnail??
Nose manual up stairs
my skavenger spends more time on the pegs than the tires lol. ledges/rails > parkrat shit
80s pegs yeah some too stand on for tricks 😂😂😂 grind on no way .. modern bikes get way more abuse . Totally different sport and i respect what they do
Do they make a clear brake cable yet?
It’s a useless idea ngl,it would get so dirty lol
@@Nathan_BMX_08it'd get that nasty piss yellow color.
@@x88868 i thought about that. But i think thats just on the clear car floor mats. I know what you mean though
There was a little lack of respect in the video
Why you say that? Just curious
@@scottbradford4130 they tone en they way you talked to him to me I seemed like dude got a little offended in the beginning but work with you because he knew after the video your gonna give him something maybe bike parts or so en he needed that so he took the disrespect but the longer the video got the more y’all came to a chill vibe it’s like the people who video themselves giving away 5 bucks to a guy en the guy stands there awkwardly he don’t want the video but need the money you know 😂
@@eddie_cooper what is "en"? Why do you keep saying that?
@@x88868 We need to look into this.....I am curious now.......
What wheels are on his bike? I NEED those. Now they won't work the color scheme on my current bike. So a new one will have to be bought. Oh well.
I believe Max has custom wheels built with whichever Shadow Conspiracy hubs he likes, along with the new Shadow Conspiracy Calle rim.
Its not Argentinian?
Sos Argentino?? Memuero!!
In public it do inded give us a bad look. Destruction of property. Be kind to thos around bro.
Didn’t tj mec can’t spill his last name sorry but he invented the sprocket guard by cutting the teeth off one bigger then he would put them together
😮😮
Grinding is for skateboards.
You do lack in the facts department sometimes like the with the random stuff
Grinding is lame for sure - ruins your bike and why would you want to do it anyway - do some real tricks - more money than sense and no respect for your stuff
I wish they would come up with a peg. That sounds like the stitchel pigs cause I miss grinding down a rail here the noise did the peg would make.
Grinding is a lifestyle for some it’s mandatory
What do you know about BBW?
Uhhh... 😮
That old Corolla is nice!
eclat abyss or cult dak sprockets ?
i'd go for abyss than dak. dak has thinner guard and it tapers to the edge, more so on the crank arm clearance. a buddy tried grinding on the drive side and the ledge hit on the sprocket and cracked that part where the thin part is. it still works but it already has a crack.
i personally run the demolition axes guard sprocket (7075), a lot thicker and a lot heavier. i'd prefer a 7075 aluminum (abyss i think) than 6061 (dak and some other brands.) 7075 is tougher but will break, 6061 is softer and will bend.
I started in 2001 I feel you on it destroys bikes but man it’s a blast
2 pegs 4 life!
