Weight is not a problem, stop being a cissy and just ride.

What about the guy on road fools with his 50 lbs bike. He can still do rails and stuff on it

yeh your fine with your weight u have now

FitRider 921

That thing weighed more than 50 lbs... it was like solid metal. That was so sick.

eightdip

The wheels were solid and had spokes! Crazy

cwt341

wow well thanks for all you posting your worthless threads..your missing the whole point my bike is to heavy and the front sprocket is blown and the back is pretty close..something in the cranks is broke so it makes these popping noises sometimes...so i was looking at the DK charger 20" because my firend said it looked to be a good bike for the money and im just looking for opions on that bike or any othe light weight bike would be good

FitRider 921

If I remember correctly, that is a race bike. You just like it because it doesn't weigh that much. If you really want a new bike get the DK Six Pack and then just stop complaining. This same thing has been asked many times before, so just going up to the top and searching for it would be a lot easier, as it is in the rules of the forums... which I am sure you read.

cwt341

ok then i think ima go wit the DK charger 20" cause it seems to be a good all around bike for a good price

mude

lets break it down line by line.

1) no bike is too heavy, your just too weak.

2. front sprocket? you say it as if there is a back sprocket. It's called a freewheel or cassete (or freecoaster depedning on the bike i guess).

3. whats a firend?

4. what's an opion? and stop worry so much about weight, just buy a bike of dans. for your uses they'll all be good.

cwt341

it was suppose to be friend and im sorry that idk wat ever little part on the bikes called..its been awhile since ive BMX'ed and thats why i was looking into getting a new bike because i currently have a schwin predator trail bike from around the yr 2000..what you mean buy a bike of dans?

FuzzyRyder

Actully its a freewheel, or a driver, or a cog.

eightdip

Mude means a bike off danscomp, it's a bmx shop. Just get a DK 6 pack

cwt341

i figured it was danscomp ive bought tons of stuff from there and im not getting the six pack i rode this kids fit today and liked it a lot it had a reallly nice smooth ride to it and some one online told me they like there eastern..i dont really DK 4,6,8 pack bikes i only like a select few of them

FitRider 921

You realize I just told you all about the bike and why you shouldn't get it, right?

cwt341

yes i read it but the DK charger seems to be a strong bike but im also leaning towards the Eastern element to because it seems to be a nice bike and highly recommened

FitRider 921

It's not too terrible, but there have been a lot of problems with the back hub. If I were you, I would just get a DK Six Pack.

cwt341

which one had problems with the back hub..the element because i think thats the bike ima go after that or a FIT but those are a bit pricy

KinetikBiker

Get a Fit Flow or Integral Bel Air. Stay away from Eastern.

It's way worth the money. If you don't spend it now you're going to be spending it later so i'd just go for now and get a dialed bike out of the box.

cwt341

wats so bad about the easten element everyone ive tlked to who has rode them says there a great bike

FitRider 921

Eastern is just a sketchy company in general, and their hubs (especially that of those on the Element) are known to be a bit faulty.

eightdip

My friend has got an element and the rear hub is an unsealed cassete, it just screwed up completly. He bent the dropouts on the frame aswell from grinding.

KinetikBiker

My friend who is sketchy as hell has that Eastern cassette wheel that you can get on dans laced to some **** Alex rim. He's got the wheel bent to hell but that hub still runs really smooth. You can spin it and the driver will not move, just click. Butter smooth.

cwt341

well i think ima still go wit it and if nothing else once the cassete goes illl just replace the parts as they break
