I agree 100%...make sure you look up the model on google or something and be sure it has good/ at worst decent parts 1st.

Remember a Poverty G-ride isn't the best frame/fork/stem combo. But, the rest is dcent.

dude, HARO'S r pretty good, infact i have 1 and ther r the best

A Haro may be good for you, but not so good for someone else.

And please read the new members thread and follow the rules about grammer

See this thread: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=257558 They are far from the best, they mostly suck.

Bikes are bikes. Chase Hawk would still rule on a Haro. However, we are not Chase Hawk and you get what you pay for.

I have two, and they have zero gravitational pull.

Bikes are bikes, but some are better than others.
Fixed.

Thanks, I needed that laugh.:rolleyes:

We have one or two everyday.

Ok i bought it, Its a older haro frame. He cut the brakes. Im not sure what frame because he spray painted it black. I also know its a gyro, im trying to get ride of the gyro part, you know like below the headset that sticks out and connects the wires. How can i get that out, do i have to take the top part apart, or can i just like hit it off or something? I like it alot, its really light and i like the components. Its bassically like my project bike to get to know all the parts of a bmx, and have fun fixing it up. I bought it for $40. Ill get some pics up later. Someone please answer my question fast im working on it right now.

Your gyro can be taken off by loosing and removing the stem and disconecting the cables. then the parts will slide off. But i would take it to a bike shop if i were you and have them do it for you since they know what they are doing. Then you can learn from them and do it next time yourself.

Omg...People call me that too though lol. Ok I bought the bike and it use to have Gyro Brakes but he cut them. And now you know how there is those 2 big pieces between the headset and the stem im pretty sure between the headset and the stem. Im wondering how i can get those off, and if i have to take off my handlebars, and stem and all that and have to put like spacers, or if i can just get them off a different way with out taking that part apart.

Now can you answer my question

Thanks Kinetic will i have to pay money. But i sort-of want to do it tonight, is it hard to take off the stem. Also i dont have the cables up by my handlebars only like on the frame and through the stem and headset.

youll need spacers deffinatly

Pant - eeh - lise lol...ok can someone answer my question!
You have lice in your panteys?

hahha

Ok...That was pointless Fitrider 921...everyone always makes fun of my name at school its hella annoying! Kinetic, do you know around how much it will be to fix it?

Premium's post was also pointless... why didn't you say something about his? Take it out on the cripple. I'm calling Al Sharpton.

His was too i know. Does anyone know around how much to take off the gyro part and put spacers in would cost at a bike shop.

I want you to yell at him.
As to the second part... not much.

all my posts are pointless

Ok, Thanks hopefully i can take it in tommorow or something. Errrghh i need to cut the ****ty wires so i can ride it to school tommorow im gonna go take some pictures, how do i put pictures up here?

all my posts are pointless
So are mine... but why are mine pointed out above yours as being more pointless?

Wtf...whatever here is the website for the pictures, it has some of the Gyro Brakes i wanna cut off >>> ergghh how do i put pictures..there on my Kodakgallery.com account?

Click the little picture of a postcard above the quick reply box, and put the URL to your picture in there.

OK, OK, I'll tell you how to get them off.

First, you need to find a hacksaw. Or, better yet, a Dremel with a carbide grinding wheel.

Aight, ok i got some pictures there not very good cause im not a good photographer and a really crappy camera but here is the website flickr >>>http://flickr.com/photos/60115430@N00/?saved=1

If it rides decently, it's not too bad considering the price.

It does, except i got rid of the brake cables, but i cant figure out how to get this metal part off like connect those cables to the gyro thing. It sucks i just rode it for like 3 minutes and the metal kept going up and down and making a noise. Anyone know how i can get that off without taking off like the stem?

You'll have to take off the stem...
If you take the gyro off, the steer tube will be too long so you'll need either spacers or to cut the tube, spaces are probably easiest. All you need is an allen wrench set.

Tighten the top cap before you tighten the side bolts on the stem, btw.

Don't scratch mom's Camry either.

you didnt have to take off the rear brakes - although im sure the bike shope mechanic told you now you have no brakes. (which isnt good for a beginner) Since you have done so, which the mechanic somehow took the easy way out, now you have to live with it bouncing around or as you said the first bike to mess around with, trying taking off the stem. i use a bigass wrench, which you might not have.

Ok...i didnt take the brakes off, the person i bought it off cut them, which i think is really stupid. And plus i dont like gyro brakes ive ridden them before, i prefer the back brakes just like normal, or not riding with brakes. Ok sorry for asking this but what are spacers.

Little metal rings that go around the steer tube where the gyro was, to fill the space.

Cool, im going to go to the bike shop, in 2 days too see what i can fix..i found out a bit ago, what of the spokes broke so im going to buy a extra spoke to put in, then get spacers, and yea.
