Stay away from that P.O.S. and if at all possible get a new bike. Spend $350 and get a DK Helio that will last you a long time. Don't even think about that Eastern Torino and the Kink isn't much better.

I dont really like the chainwheel on the helio that doesnt seem that good for long distance/speed?
I know odds are I'd get a new one but how sturdy are they?

The gear on that bike is fine. It's just about the same as the standard 44/16. 25/9 is the new 44/16 for freestyle bikes.

No prob. If you look at most freestyle bikes now, they will come with a smaller gear. They're lighter, out of the way, and look better. But get that DK and I think you'll be happy.

The helio is the best bike out for the money.

my vote is for the cliff. or into a wood chipper. or jumping it into a lake might be kinda cool.

Next time you do that, let it sink to the bottom and forget about it.

Here is my bike..
http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp127/Faythfulkiss/SSPX0235.jpg
Its 42/16T love the speed.
Its a few years old. Been though good and bad with it.. its getting to the point where I sorta want a new one. I'm 5'10" 170 lbs been riding Dirt trails, distance and, some street for a while, and normally ride hard and and rough on most of my bikes.
I been looking at a few bikes over the past days and reading posts. I sorta want to spend $300 tops.
Any suggestions?
