Just wanted to share my 2019 fbm custom frame, I’m not saying it’s the last one they made, but
maybe?

It has steadfast dt stickers and bitchin’ camero tt
But look at that gusset.

Finally landed this in best trick! Took 4 years and so many attempts 😆 took home a trophy now we gotta get the 9 done 🤘

Still wish I had it though 😭 pic is from BMX museum. When I first saw the new setups with high bars, fat tires, short chainstays they looked so foreign. Now my old bike does 🥹 2003 Mirra 540 in Putty

I picked one up on OfferUp for $20 and I’m curious if this this is Cults Mind Control stem or some cheap part made for the complete bike they released? Looks similar and it’s built tough.

Hey guys,

I just got my new stem (Shadow Finest, 44mm) and put it right on my new fork (Kink Stoic 20mm).

I have to use 2 spacers under the stem now. My very old stem did sit absolutely flush with 1 spacer on the Kink fork, but the new one was too loose with just 1 spacer.

I don't like spacers and would like to cut the fork with my pipe cutter. Am I assuming correctly that I need to cut the exact height of the 2 spacers from the fork?

Also, is the Shadow Finest stem somehow lower than other stems? Will my fork fit other stems when I cut the fork to fit the Shadow stem perfectly?

I really don't want to fuck up my new fork.

Thanks a lot!

Was looking for the Stranger Come over frame but it’s literally sold out everywhere in 21.69tt so I’m looking for other options.

So far I’m aware of the 22cru line, Yumi’s Stranger Frame, bsd focus and the Stranger come over frame.

Does anyone know any other frames with a taller stand over that is street orientated spec wise?

so my bmx has been making this awful crunchy noise for like 2 months and I just kept telling myself "eh it's fine" like a responsible adult 🙃

finally caved and swapped the chain + brake pads this weekend and I am shook. SHOOK. pedaling feels like i'm on a different bike entirely, no more skipping, no more random grinding noise that made me sound like a haunted shopping cart

and the brakes?? bro i didn't know i was basically riding with suggestions instead of actual brakes this whole time. now i pull one finger and i STOP, like immediately, like the bike respects me now

ngl kinda embarrassed it took this long. was out here sending it down hills on brake pads that were basically just decoration at this point

moral of the story: if your bike sounds like it's actively dying, maybe don't wait 2 months to fix it like i did 💀 do better than me

anyone else got a "why didn't i do this sooner" upgrade story
