See I don't know anything about U-brakes but it seems to me like they are on backwards, if that is even possible. The one that appears to have more clearance is much further from the tire than the...

There's also the possibility that these brakes were set up wrong too. I tried to get a picture here of them but my camera is pretty garbage.

Is the height of tread accounted for in tire size?

I have a Subrosa Malum 26" BMX that I've been wanting to play around with in the dirt and snow but I can't do that on the slick tires it came with. The tire size is 26x2.20 but because of the U-Brake...

Came in last week when I was on vacation. Only had a few chances to ride it so far but it's everything I was looking for. Feel like a little kid being on a single gear bike again! I can pick up a lot...

I was considering something with a coaster brake at first but I think I'd get sick of it real fast. Unrelated but were you a member of Rigamortis Tortoise? That was the best band name I'd ever seen...

I already bought the bike guys lol the only thing I'm a little upset about is they don't make skyway wheels in 26", the cruisers with skyway wheels hold a special place in my heart.

I bought the...

I managed to try out a few 24" cruisers but even they felt a little tiny to me. I ended up mail ordering a Subrosa Malum 26". It still saves me hundreds even with the shipping.

A BMX cruiser for cruising?

I'm in the market for a BMX cruiser, admittedly more for cruising and less for stunting (I may hop a curb or two, nothing over a ft for sure). There's really very few options where I live though,...

If they have the tools to get through the chain I doubt the U-Lock would stop them. I haven't found a video of anyone getting through the chain but you'd have to cut through both sides of it. They...

Thank you, you've pointed me in the right direction. I guess it's just called an aluminum swage sleeve.

The cable is just for the front tire. I should've clarified that I'm not living on campus, the college is about a 30min walk from me. The bike stays inside otherwise. The piece of metal they use on...

Cutting a cable lock and some general security questions

Hey everyone, I own a Raleigh Misceo 2.0 and when I purchased it I had never planned to leave it outside unattended. I'll be going to college in a month though and the parking fee's are so ridiculous...
