Upgrading and installing a new Ride Out Supply freewheel on my SE Big Ripper.

- My Origin8 Freewheel was loud but there was a lot of drag and resistance from the freewheel. I wanted to see if the Ride Out Supply freewheel was better. I wasn't disappointed. I show you how to remove the old freewheel and install the Ride Out Supply freewheel with a few basic tools and show you the difference.
Awesome sound and engagement, I’m sold! The chain tension looks a bit tight however! I was taught the goal with the chain tension on a freewheel is to have just enough chain tension that when you coast or take your feet off the pedals you don’t want your cranks to keep turning (ghost pedaling) so that when you do any tricks the pedals stay in the same position that you left them. Maybe that’s no longer an issue with these better new freewheels sprockets, just putting that out there.
I always use the Shimano MX30 16t. Super smooth and quiet. They coast for days.like my bikes quiet and stealth. Rip and Dip. Keep the videos coming. Awesome stuff.
Check out Onyx hubs. Instant engagement and zero sound.
Thanks to you I was finally able to remove the freewheel. I have the tool but never crossed my mind to as a bolt on back side of tool to keep it from slipping off. Thanks a lot man.
Best bike-hack I’ve ever learned🤘
Lifetime Bayarea guy here and ex Club Homeboy member (I remember the newsletters). Dynofish, Vision Eyes, Ron Wilkerson, Eddie Fiola (I met Matt Hoffman when he like 14 and rode the Haro tours). I've always been a 24" rider, love 'em. In the early 70's (I'm 60 now) our only upgrade options were on Schwinn Stingrays. We'd put a rear tire on the front, spread out the bars and get someone to weld on a crossbar and homemade frame brackets or you could heat up the gooseneck and spread it open to slip in some motocross bars. Then came the Littlejohn Murphy with Motomags. In the 80's I stepped up to the 24s with a Race Inc. then a fully loaded Boss. Both with blue Tuff Wheels. I did the single father thing for 20 years and a couple of years ago I wanted to get back into cruising the half mile wheelies I loved so much. I looked at all the new stuff. Cult, Sunday, We The People, etc. I was surfing Craigslist and found a 2004 Redline Flight 24" Bubba Harris for $200. It was never ridden, still had the tire mold nub strings on original tires. It's all sealed bearings and I was surprised to find the Euro BB had 4 bearings. I'm upgrading it now (when do you ever stop?).I put on tuffs, Powerblock 2.10s, Stolen 4 piece bars, old style MX front brake (old guys like brakes) etc. I tried to get a Profile, White, Hornet freewheel but no one has anything but a Shimano, ACS or the cheap Lian Cheng stuff. I'll checkout the ROS availability. Anyway, from one old guy to the next, if you have a front brake and you're cruising a long wheelie, tap it and stop the front wheel spin. It looks a bit more cool. It's like getting extra pepperoni.
I loved this comment 🙏🔥
Me too...I can totally relate, we made chopper bikes before they were ever sold!!!
Or coasters where you'd remove the crank and flip the forks over so the bike is upside down and you'd be sitting your lil ass on the crank housing!!!!! Looking for the biggest hills in your nieghborhood
Probably the only Jedi who noticed the stormtrooper chest piece.
As always the vids are awesome and well done. Sounds killer like a faster snake now. Adding one to Jackie’s Ripper .. thanks Brother for doing what you do
Rick Monster636 it’s a great upgrade. Definitely makes the gearing easier🤘
No doubt this is one of the best free wheels on the market especially for the price, great engagement and sound. LJ and Mattie did a great job. Also great video as always 👍 even though I haven’t finished 😂
thanks, brother! I appreciate you always watching
Everyone needs to subscribe to this channel Isaac has answered every question I’ve asked him in record time...Much appreciated
🙏🙏
I just recently upgraded both my Big Rippers from the stock 15t to now a 18t freewheel after seeing your other video about what upgreade options are best to do. 👍👍 I absolutely love it and its a much nicer ride and the Profile Elite freewheel just sounds so sexy! I ride down here in Tucson,AZ and you're not joking about our weather at all!! We do a Major Local ride out 130+ riders every Tuesday night if you're ever down south
Larry Hoskinson that’s awesome! I’ll come check it out once the weather cools down and the Covid lets up a bit
For sure thats totally understandable! Just a heads up We meet up at the old main Flag pole on university of Arizona campus every Tuesday night and ride out around 8:45pm if you happen to make it down for a ride. Always a good time with fun people
Larry Hoskinson I’ll reach out before I drive down.
@@BigBikeBMX for sure, it would be really cool to have you join the ride sometime
Thanks mate, great insight in to that freewheel. As soon as they’re back in stock, I’m ordering one.
Cheers
they are in stock now
Great video Isaac! Appreciate you sharing and making these comprehensive.
That red & gold really pops 💗
Great video explaining engagement on freewheels. Currently in the Phoenix area and planning on hitting up some bike shops. Hopefully some of the local bike shops in the area will have some big wheel bikes to check out. Thanks for the video!
Average Joes Bike Shop in Scottsdale has all the high-end stuff for BMX
thank you so much, just installed a ros sprocket and ros freewheel on my big ripper , from stock 36/16 to ros 33/16 it is pretty loud and feels very nice and easier to pedal with the smaller sprocket as well, just 1 problem and that is ghost pedaling but a chain tensioner should do the job, the only tool i had to buy aside the ones i already had to remove the wheels were the FR6 freewheel remover, the ROS freewheel also comes with grease applied to it
Gearing changes are fun. Makes your bike feel like new
@@BigBikeBMX was wondering if ghost pedaling was normal for a ride out supply freewheel because i never had it until i installed it, is there a fix you know of? thank you
when i am coasting ,with my feet off the pedals the cranks or freewheel still goes forward until i am at a complete stop
@@minks.solenoid check chain tension. Sometimes loose or tight can make a difference.
@@BigBikeBMX thank you
I just bought a big ripper. They are so hard to find right now. Looking forward to upgrades.
jan tan it’ll get better as supplies get back to normal
@@BigBikeBMX is it better to get a 15T for big ripper
Love the old skool vibe videos
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hey Isaac. Thanks for the content. Really appreciate it.
I missed you a couple of weeks ago when you came to San Diego. Hopefully get the chance to meet you someday take care
Bro!!! Had a blast in SD! I’ll be back real soon🤘
@@BigBikeBMXI hope so. Looking forward to it. Fish tacos on me. 😁
Every rider should have a bike work stand. I got a park tool stand for xmas back on 97
I finally got one this year🤘🤘
Absolutely! Well worth the money! 💯💯💯💯
What do you recommend for a 2018 sock flyer? I also would Locke a better sprocket. My sons bike is the red white and blue I just put red and blue pedals so looks along with the performance a red chain recommendation would
Have a 2021 big ripper . What specific tool or socket do I need to remove the stock freewheel ?
Thanks
Sick hair bro..........motion sickness alert @ 15:21 🤮🤮........Another awesome video keep them coming!!!!
What's the best 29er bmx on the market? Sunday high c.... cult devotion....gt pro performer/dyno compe....lastly the 27.5 fairdale taj? Im 6ft. And come from dirtbikes for 30 yrs....im addicted to wheelies and want the best big bmx money can buy..... pls any help? Ps. Will the 27.5 taj be too small for me? Or would a 29er be more comfortable?
If you can wait until bikes are in shops again, I'd suggest you do it. The brands you mention don't really invest heavily in the big BMX scene. They offer bikes, but they don't sponsor teams etc. SE Bikes, Throne, and Collective are the brands with actual teams and getting feedback from riders. The rest are just making cookie cutter big bikes. I'm always going to suggest an SE Big Ripper or Monster quad or Monster Dub if you're looking at a 29er. I personally love the PK Ripper 27.5 and ride mine 90% of the time. (I have a big ripper, OM Duro, and a PK Ripper). Sunday makes great bikes and I know a few folks who love them. Cult makes good bikes but I haven't ridden one. Dyno makes a really balanced and comfortable 29er. I'd probably ride a Dyno if I wasn't so happy with the SE lineup personally. Good luck man. The best bike is out there, you just have to ride them until you find the perfect fit.
I have put on my new ride out supply freewheel and the one and only problem I have with it is that it ghost pedals so is there a way to fix it.
You can try adjusting the chain tension but ghost pedaling is a common issue with stronger spring freewheels that are loud💁♂️
Hey boss great video!!! I need your help. Do you know if I could fits this freewheel on a 94gt performer fan mag?? If not do you recommend another freewheel that I can screw right on that’s loud??? Thanks in advance
If the wheel has a freewheel, it’ll work. If your wheel has a cassette hub, it won’t work. Best bet is ask a local shop to confirm. It’ll save you time and frustration 🤘
Where can i buy the freewheel tool remover
Any bikeshop or Amazon carries them. Good luck
Thought Seth Rogan went on to discover biking there for a minute
Is it possible to swap my (Red Mag)coaster parts out & put my (Black Mag)freewheel parts.? I don't want to modify the coaster brakes by taking out the brake pads...I would like to swap the guts entirely. 🤔
Where Do I find those tensioners? I have a big ripper I have been looking for something to use on the wheel.
Most bike shops stock them. SE website sells them too.
It says for a “big ripper” the 15 tooth is needed. You chose the 16 tooth. Does the 16 tooth ride better then the 15? Thanks for all the awesome videos!
Buck Rogers it does for me. I wanted an easier gear to push down and get the wheel up for wheelies. I’ve been running a 17 for months and wanted to try the 16. Good luck
What gearing was better 16 or 17 for wheelies and whats the sprocket tooth count
Great video! Going to use this! I have been missing from this activity for 30 years,,, just have a question, I just purchased a 29 inch throne.seems like a strong bike, I just forgot the sounds a bike makes,,, when I'm pedaling every 2 or 3 cranks she makes a light pop in the chain....is this all because it's new or something faulty. .....thanks man love your wheelie tutorials.
It could be a few things. Chain tension is the first thing that comes to mind. I'd have your local bike shop take a look and make sure it's not too tight and that everything is lined up. Any bike you have should sound really smooth while pedaling regardless of brand. Mine was doing that on my big ripper and I loosened up the tension a little and it's back to quiet. Good luck.
what is the itemized list of tools used in this video? also what size sprocket are you running on this particular bike?
I didn’t see a link that looked different so I just used the chain tool and picked one link I got it off and got the new white chain on...
BUT Why does KMC sell a white chain but the master link is silver it looks stupid.. do you think it would be OK to clean that one link pretty good and hit it with a little white Rustoleum paint
Hi Isaac i have a 2021 big flyer with 36t sprocket and 16t stock freewheel. I can lift the front wheel up but i found it very hard especially for the sitting down wheelie. In this moment i find only a 19t sturmey archer freewheel....is it a good option in yout opinion to make the bike easier to wheelie? another question what pressure do you reccomend for the Bozack tires... 30 psi front and rear is ok? thanks
Love the video got a 2021 bigg ripper front sprocket is 36 back free wheel is 16 I'm stock on both hornet and ros. Can you guide me in the right direction as far as what brand and size new to the bike world thanks. P.s like to be able to pop wheelies easy.
You can do a 17 freewheel on the back and that’ll make the front tire pop up easier. You will lose speed with that gearing so once you get comfortable with wheelies - move back to the 16👍
What's the best sprocket gear combo for wheelies on a big ripper. ...(tooth count front/rear), can you add another gear to the other side of the rear hub and just flip your rim to switch it up??
I like 33/16 on the big ripper/flyer. You can add another freewheel if you have a flip-flop hub with threads on both sides
Isaac Awesome vids. I have a question. How do I know which or how, to fit a profile elite freewheel on my SE OM Duro? Every shop I ask seemed to be concerned where and how I spend my money instead of helping me.
WARZONE415 if you’re going single speed on it, I’d call Shaun at Phoenix Bike Co. He’s an expert at Profile hubs and He can offer suggestions. I wouldn’t even know where to start bro - Shaun is legit though🤘
Hello I ordered my new chain this morning when I was looking at my stock chain on my 2021 big flyer it didn’t look like it had a master link but my new KMC chain does should I have looked for a new chain without a master link is one better than the other... it was kind of dark this morning maybe I didn’t see the master link I’ll have to check when I get home from work LOL.Thanks again for all the help and always quick response
The new ones are just newer tech. I would run either one. I have the newer style without the master link and pins on my PK Ripper and that’s my main bike. The old style master link is also tried and true - it’s worked for years🤘
On the stock one on my big flyer without the master link do I need to look for a different looking pin to push out or just pick anyone
@@pawlovich1 there’s one link that’s different. Bend the chain at that link and it’ll pop off.
Awesome vids and excellent info and tips Issac. Really appreciate the vids and info you bring. What was the gear set set up you went with on the Camo SE/Cg Big Flyer ? And why did you choose that one ? If I remember correctly I believe you went with the 33t.
The Camo CG is stock gearing. It's easy to get the wheel up on that bike with the stock gears.
@@BigBikeBMX thank you my man appreciate the help.
Questions is that a 29in bike if so can you send me the part # so I can order one for my bike.
I have a new monster quad 20 tooth was thinking about the ROS 17 tooth. What do you recommend?
I believe the monster quad has a cassette hub. You’ll want a 17tooth driver/cog. Your local bike shop can help. You’ll need a chain whip tool.
@@BigBikeBMX thank you so much
@@roberttillman2326 you bet! I’ve seen folks try and thread it on not knowing. Good news is, a cog is cheaper.
Hi Issac. I have been doing some research on a Freewheel, the ROS appeals to me. I also like the Box Two design. I watched your abbreviated version of this video as well, both are well done brother. Hope you are keeping cool.
Hey, I have a question thought about Hubs now.
I have discovered that my Fixed Gear Miche Primato Pista/Pista is set up for a Fixed and Fixed on both sides of a 1.375/24 hub after the shop guy told me I have a Flip Flop Hub... two years later, I discover he Lied. Now, I'm looking at building/buying a new wheelset with Flip Flop Hubs to go with...
I need to source out some half decent Hubs, Black, 32 Hole, High Flange with that 1.375/24 thread pattern so I can fit it with a Freewheel, like the one you have.
I need some suggestions on what you might recommend, Would appreciate any input. Thanks and take care bud Ride On, Play Safe. 👍
Hey Joel, I’m just using a stock SE hub.
When they get super tight, but the tool in a vise, use the tire as grip/leverage
hey isaac! i was wondering if you had made a video on upgrading your bottom bracket? let me knoww thanks
Ethan Reyes` not yet but I have one planned very soon🤘
Hey Isaac, what freewheel would you recommend for a big flyer with a 33t sproket. I was thinking 16t
I'm using the stock gearing on my City Grounds big flyer. I have the blue/teal camo. I'm 90% sure it's 33/16 but it's also 11pm and I'm tired. The SE website will have the exact specs at www.sebikes.com
How come you chose a 16t and not a 17t this time?
Great question Jesse. I wanted to see the difference between the 15, 16, and 17. I get asked about it a lot personally so I wanted to be able to answer questions people have from an place of experience vs guessing. If I've ridden all three freewheel sizes I feel like I can answer the questions with more accuracy. Thanks man!
Isaac, do you really feel as though your ride out supply freewheel engages quicker than the factory freewheel? I recently replaced mine with a 17th ride out supply freewheel and it doesn’t seem to engage any quick than the factory SE freewheel. Any thoughts?
Craving Knowledge yes. You triple the engagement points by upgrading to ROS. It was very noticeable
The guys from ROS have fantastic customer service . They contacted me after I messaged you to tell me they’re going to send me another freewheel to try with less teeth. They believe I made such a big jump in size that what I’m feeling is not the gap but the quicker revolution.
For the hornet freewheel did u get the 3/32 or 1/8
I have the stock chain so 1/8👍
Does the ros freewheel still have a lot of engagement even though it has less drag?
It has the same engagement as the Hornet🤘
what is your daily driver? i thought was gonna b pk ripper. can u explain how u chose ur daily?
My PK is what I ride daily. My sons ride a Duro XL and the big ripper. I enjoy doing little things to make each bike better though. I go with what I’m in the mood for and that’s usually the PK Ripper
Hey man I have 29er GT Performer Im thinking about switching to white industries free wheel and I wanted to ask what size to get, what made you get 16T?
Thanks for posting
I like the easier gearing for wheelies myself. I’d buy a cheap freewheel and see if you like it before investing in a white freewheel. They’re great quality, so make sure it’s perfect FOR YOU first🙏
Sorry for asking so many questions but do u know where u got the hornet freewheel 17t 1/8
Got it from Phoenix Bike Co.
It’s so good I got the hornet just today I got it at Amazon
Did your freewheel come with a freewheel tool, or do you need to buy one separately?
You’ll need to buy one👍
What’s with the plastic spoke benders still on the bike?😃
Dang that's crispy 👌
Super loud, but less drag🤘
Sounds amazing, need a 13T
Finally got my first se bike Saturday . A new SE OM flyer blue and gold . After searching for weeks. I’m 42 5’9 230lbs. Don’t know if any of that matters lol. What do you suggest for A free wheel upgrade size.
Would the 15t fit a big flyer? Would I be able to just swap them right out of the box?
So what's a better ride the 16 or 17? Or can you tell the difference 🤔
SS396RAT it all comes down to how you plan to ride your bike. The 17 was slightly easier to pedal and get the wheel up for wheelies but you sacrifice long distance speed because you top out and end up hamster wheeling and not increasing speed. The 16 is a good middle between speed and wheelies. I can tell a difference yes, but I spend a lot of time on my bikes and I think about things like that while I’m riding. Normal rider will just notice it’s easier to pedal.
@@BigBikeBMX gotcha
is it even worth buying this and switching from the stock big ripper freewheel
I think so. The engagement points are what I appreciate the most about them🤘
@@BigBikeBMX hows it holding up cause i bought a few and after 2 weeks i hear a loud bang and then they starte engaging really late.
@@michael_christian9461 I’d hit up RideOutSupply and let them know. Mine is still going strong and my son even wrecked a few times on the big ripper💁♂️
@@BigBikeBMX i should have specified i bought other cheaper ones was just curious how well the ride out supply one holds up im tired of cheap ones
@@michael_christian9461 my RideOutSupply freewheels are perfect, no BS. They take a beating and stay smooth. I also live in Phoenix and it’s dusty. Still smooth as the day I filmed this👍
Hey brother thank you for the video. Do you know if that freewheel will fit on my stock 2021 Haro Pistol 29? I don't know what to look at on my bike to figure out if it's compatible. I'm basically new and don't know what to do :)
Thanks again.
Thanks man! I honestly don’t know much about the Pistol yet. I’d hit up RideOutSupply direct on Instagram and see what they say🤘🙏
Any other cool freewheels besides this one? ROS freewheels are sold out.
Is there any performance difference between 15t 16t and the 17t freewheel because on my big ripper I have a stock 15t and I don't know how many teeth I should get when I get the ROS freewheel.
Here's what you'll get with a ROS freewheel. More engagement so any size will feel more responsive. The teeth size will make it easier to pedal as you increase teeth. 16 will be easier to pedal than the 15. etc. What you gain in easier to pedal you lose in top speed. Think of it like a 10 speed bike. Easy gear you pedal all day and barely move. Harder gear you press down and it takes you a long time to start moving but once you're going fast, it's easy.
You'll want to decide what you're looking for in the gear ratio. I like a 33/17 on my big ripper because i can easily press down on the crank and the wheel pops right up and wheelies feel easier (to me). The trade off is that I tend to pedal more going on normal rides than someone next to me who has a 33/15. It's really up to you to decide what that performance means to you. Any size will benefit from the higher engagement though so it's worth it even if you go with the stock 33/15 gearing. Good luck. Great question.
So maybe I should get a 17t because I want to be able to pedal much easier when I wheelie but at the same time still be able to get enough speed to lift the wheel up.
@@jacobportelli4780 17 works best for me. Pro-Tip: Make sure you rear wheel takes a freewheel and not a cassette hub driver before you order. Some SE bikes have a cassette like my PK Ripper 27.5. My Big Ripper has a freewheel. Just verify before you order. Rideoutsupply.com has a fitting guide if you have questions or message them in Instagram to confirm. Good luck!
@@BigBikeBMX yep I have checked and it is a 15 t freewheel
@@BigBikeBMX really good question!! And really good fawkin answer!👏 GUUDSHEEIT
How long did ros take to ship
It all comes down to how many orders they have. It’s usually 1-3 weeks, but if they get backed up, they stop taking orders.
Was the ride out supply freewheel 3/32 ?
Look at the SE website and it’ll give you the stock chain kmc s1. Google that and it’ll tell you it’s 1 1/8. 🤘
Excellent video. Can you help me out I’m trying to find a 14 tooth freewheel for my big ripper. Do you know of anyone that manufactures them or has them? I wanted to run a different gear ratio on the flip flop SE hub for longer faster rides. Any input greatly appreciated!
5446moto I would ask Shaun from Phoenix Bike Co. Google them and call the shop. That dude is the king of wheel builds and would know🤘
Thanks for the video, going ros.
Hello my question is I ordered a ride out supply 17 tooth freewheel my original freewheel on my big flyer was 16 tooth . Do I have to get a bigger chain from adding one tooth on my freewheel.
I used the same chain on my 2019 Big Ripper with my 17 tooth. Should be good👍
@@BigBikeBMX Thanks a lot for the quick response and the great videos
I’m 48 just bought a new big flyer 2021 I used to ride a 20 inch boss With the I guess you would call them five piece bars that I still have with all the original Oakland stickers then I started riding a 24 inch red line but my 13-year-old daughter is 511 now so I decided to upgrade to a 29 inch and give her my 24 Thanks again for the informative videos
Hello brotha my Gt pro series came with a 33t sprocket and 16t freewheel. Should I stick with the 16t when upgrading to ROS freewheel
On my 26” SuperCross I ride 33/16. If you like how easy it is to pedal now - get the 16 tooth. If you want an even easier gear - get a 17.
Once you build up the leg strength for wheelies, you can go back to the 16 tooth.
If you’re just cruising around, get the 16tooth
@@BigBikeBMX thank u for the feedback
@@NikeChecksHtx yeah man! Thanks for watching 🙏
@@BigBikeBMX will I need to switch the chain if I got from a 33t sprocket to a 36t sprocket?
My big ripper came with 36T x 16T freewheel..if I go up to a 17T freewheel will it make it a tad bit easier to pedal? I don’t want it to be TOO easy I just want it a LITTLE easier ..will a 17t do the trick ?
17 will feel like heaven. It’s easier without loosing too much top end speed
I love those seat posts. Where can I get one?
Finding a tool to fit the stock freewheel to remove it has been a pain in the ass. Which actual tool fits the Chinese made freewheel? Any help would be awesome!
Jason Patterson same one that fits most 15 tooth freewheels - the Industry standard park tool FR 8.
@@BigBikeBMX Thank you i have it on order and looking forward to giving my Ride Out Supply 16T a try.
Jason Patterson you’ll also want a FR6 for the 16-17 freewheels. It’s annoying but part of the bike business.
@@BigBikeBMX Yes Sir i have the FR-6 and new Freewheel and my Buff 19" patiently waiting for the mail delivery LOL
I’m running a 32:16 right now. Thinking about getting the 15t ros freewheel. Will this make a huge difference?
How did it go? What did you end up doing?
If I want to pedal faster and my big flyer has a 16t free wheel would I get a 17T?
A 17 will make it easier to pedal from a stop. You’ll lose your top end speed though. Think of it like 1st gear in a car.
Hey bud, I’ve got the pk ripper 2020, same as you. I have heard you and others mention that it has a cassette not a free wheel on it, I’m not really understanding what that means, I’d like to make my bike as easy as poss to wheelie, is there a swap over for the rear cassette like a tighter freewheel like the one you just fit up to this bike or it’s not possible/expensive/hard
with a casette, the springs and engagement are inside the hub instead of inside the freewheel. You would have to swap the hub for a traditional hub/freewheel. You could talk to your local bike shop and have them look at lowering the front chainring and that would give you an easier gearing though.
Isaac Irvine ah yep ok. Damn. I used to ride a Fixie, so I’m used to having that solid crank feel constantly . Hmm. Thanks for the prompt reply !
Julian Ferguson if you have the extra funds, look at profile elite hubs. You’ll find them quite responsive for sure. I’m just not willing to fork over the insane money for them if I’m OK with the stock PK one. Make your bike yours, though. You’ll ride it more🤘
Isaac Irvine that banner tho 🔥🤘🏼
great video, thank you
Hey isaac! How many teeth do you recommend for a dub ripper?
youngdrop1 Dub has a 20 tooth cassette. You can’t add a freewheel. I’d talk to your local shop and see what they suggest for the front if you want to make it easier to pedal. It’s a 39 stock
Went for a ride with the kids couple miles downhill to my brothers house pretty much all uphill on the way home turning on my street I heard a pop couldn’t tell where it came from the kids heard it to . ....
HOPE it’s not my new ride out supply freewheel I did replace the chain but it was a KMC $13 white chain with a two piece master link have you heard of any problems like this ? It made me start looking at a half link KMC ..pin connection chain.. ... hoping it’s not my freewheel..
any input much appreciated
Makes me second-guess myself for not leaving it stock chain & freewheel but the freewheel sounds hell a good my brother said it sounds like a rattlesnake ..lol. &. the chain looks awesome white
Could this freewheel work on a monster ripper?
No. Monster Ripper has a cassette hub. You’d have to change your driver to adjust gearing but it’ll always be the same sound.
What aftermarket chain working for the ride out flywheel
Can you recommend what size free wheel cassette I should run on my new skyway mags 20’i Am clueless
I am building a gt dyno father and son project any help much appreciated
Check the hub and see if it's cassette or freewheel first. When I rode flatland on my 20" I ran 43front/16 rear. If it's a modern bmx frame it might need a bigger rear smaller front to fit the frame design on modern bikes. 44/16 was standard in the 80s and you said Tuffs so I'm assuming. Good luck.
Recommend a freecoaster for a Om flyer
Thank you!
Thx for the hack! Old guys rule 💯
CarbonAce it’ll save you a bunch of time💪
Isaac Irvine You look well boss, this is the first time I’ve seen you without a baseball cap on, I was beginning to wonder if you had a head underneath that hat and all.
So what’s next the beard.....???
Keep up the good work........💯👊🏽😎🤙
Younghead I definitely have a hat addiction. It was just too hot this weekend. I shaved my head while trying to trim my own hair at home so I learned my lesson. I’m just letting the beard do it’s thing until I can get it trimmed up properly lol
Isaac Irvine Yes Sir, do your thing, and do it when it feels right for you. I just got a skin head, and the beard, if you can call it that is now the same size as my hair. 😎
great video
Which freewheel tool is that? FR6 fr6c? Thanks
FR6 off Amazon 👍
Coming to cali for the SEhoedown this weekend?
Whats the loudest freewheel i can buy for less than $60?
RideOutSupply would be my choice for performance and sound. Origin8 is louder but has lots of drag meaning your tires will slow down faster and you’ll have to pedal harder
My freewheel on my 2018 blocks flyer is stuck what should I do ?
If it were mine, I’d do the tire iron trick from my other videos. Or take it to a local shop and let them fight with it🤘
👍👍👍👍👍
Which freewheel is louder? Great video btw just gained another sub 👍🏼
Milton Andrade thanks for the sub! Appreciate it. The Origin8 is louder but you’ll have wheel resistance because of the harder (louder) springs. The RideOutSupply is loud but has way less resistance so it’s my preference personally
Yo what tool you use to remove the stock freewheel? I bought a couple and they didn’t fit.
Nic Ramos park tool FR-8 I believe. I have a RideOutSupply interview on the channel and we talk about the two tools you need. Fr8 for the 15 and I believe fr6 for the 16-17 tooth.
I throw it up on the screen during the interview
@@BigBikeBMX Sick! thanks for the reply mang!
Hey Isaac great videos! Question for you and maybe ROS can give me some ideas also. I have a 2019 Big Flyer with stock I think ACS freewheel. I am looking for better engagement (stock feels soft) but super quiet like stock. Sorry but just not a fan of the loud clicking freewheels.
Again great videos and keep up the great work.
@jrozz3
I honestly don't know what to suggest for high engagement / low spring noise. I'd shoot a message to @rideoutsupply and see if LJ has any suggestions. You can also try calling Phoenix Bike Company in Phoenix and asking Shaun if he has any ideas. Good luck!
@@BigBikeBMX Thanks for the quick response! Stay cool in that heat.
You coming up to New York for the everybody’s ride out “. ?
Did you change the pk too
John Doe great question. The PK has a cassette hub so it doesn’t have a traditional freewheel. The PK is stock.👍
Would this freewheel work on a gt dyno
It works with any hub that accepts a freewheel. Not sure if it has cassette hubs or not. Freewheels don’t work on cassette hubs
Whats the point of the chain tensioner if you just pull it back with your hand and tighten?
Probably peace of mind. I rode 20” BMX bikes and thrashed them without ever knowing what a chain tensioner does. Just ride it. If you want extra security or bling, add them🤘
@Big Bike BMX I bought some and then sat there staring at them like why do I need them? Lol I'm just a street cruiser. Ordered the freewheel tho. Glad I found this video before I ordered the one you took out bc of excess drag and way cheaper.
Important question: should I put waterproof grease on the freewheel or install it as is? Thanks for your videos and input man
I use Phil Wood grease on my bikes, but I don't add grease to the freewheel.
@@BigBikeBMX gotcha man . Would it be good to add 3 in one oil or some type of liquid lubricant to the freewheel periodically as maintenance?
@@andrewradom3772 You can add some but I never do. Just don't use WD40.
Hey bro. I’m looking for this freewheel can’t find it on website? Can u help me out? Or any others that will work on big ripper. Thanks bro
RideOutSupply.com might be out. Any freewheel will fit the Big Ripper hub. It'll ask for size but they're asking for chain size. You want the 1/8 freewheel for your stock chain to work. Look for high engagement. If you can wait, I've heard rumors that you might find them in your local bike shops in the near future. I don't know though - just bike gossip.
Question. What rear axle does this bike have?
What freewheel goes on a so cal flyer 24”
Head over to SE Bikes and look up your bike. In the Specifications section it will list your freewheel tooth size under wheels. 👍
And how did you get a ROS Freewheel? they are non existent.
WARZONE415 I ordered it a few months ago when they posted on their IG. I just now got around to upgrading it🤘
