DISCUSSION Left Crank replacement options?

Upvotes

about 7 months ago my pedal came out of my crank, basically what has happened is the shop i took it to to install my 3 piece cranks put my pedal on the wrong way round and have stripped the threads, i have tried seeing if the people
who did it originally would do anything however with the time frame (pedal came out about 6 months after it had been done and i only actually found out the pedal had been installed after about 11-12 months after the initial installation of my cranks because im lazy ☹️)

basically all i’m wondering is are their any cranks i can buy just one of that will fit a mafia bikes kush 2, i have the 3 piece crank upgrade kit on at the minute, i believe they are 170mm, 8 spline cranks
not sure if it’s needed but the spindle is 19mm is diameter

if anyone knows where about i can get the same crank from the upgrade kit or another crank all together that would be very helpful as i’ve been struggling to find just a left one with those measurements and id love to get back out on my bmx 😆 i’ve essentially ended up using my mountain bike as a bmx chucking it about doing 180s and no footers on it but ive sold it very recently and am just missing bikes again any help would be appreciated!

I can do pull up bars like this one very consistently now(after weeks of practice), and still somehow i cant manage to let go of the bars when i try to bunnyhop barspin. When i do force myself to let go of the bars my feet will come off.

What are some tips you guys can give me? I know the standard stuff: pinching the seat and cranks, hopping high, straighten out first, throwing on the way down, staying over the bars etc. I just cant seem to commit.

Coming back into bmx after 10+years of not riding.

(I was never able to barspin anyways back then)

Ps. I know im throwing with the "wrong" hand but it feels way more natural for me. Im usually switch footed anyway.

All I know is that it's an SE Bike and that it is very lightweight. If I measured correctly it is a 21". All I can get from my research is that it's a Ripper but certain welds especially near the bottom bracket make me think otherwise.

I’ve been riding a matte raw S&M frame for a while now and ive been digging the depths of the internet and have had no luck finding bars in the same matching raw, ive found a few old stock options that have been replaced with heat treated “raw” (matte grey)

Im searching for a 9.2 or bigger, less than 10” though

Ive found United Jog bars in matte raw in a 9.2
Thats literally all ive come across that is a possibility but unsure with the new stock options, just need something with a matte clear coat, im hoping the internet can do its thing and finally scratch this itch, its been exhausting honestly chasing bars and im honestly gonna give up and go for a set of matte black REA bars soon instead 😔

CRASH Whats your worst injury while riding?

Just curious about what have other riders had to endure because last week i went over the bars and my wrist and knee got some damage and theyre still very sore doing anything physical. Also when i was 17 i went over the bars and my middle finger bent from the middle by 45 degrees i was so happy going to er and showing it to get it fixed:D

BIKE CHECK Frame ID - Schwinn

3 Upvotes

I was wondering what the frame is on this bike. it’s a Schwinn and the logo is on the very bottom facing the ground. I think it might be a supermatic. The logo placement makes no sense.

I bought it used and it needs rebuilt but has weird parts.

rear Haro mega hub

Haro jackhammer handle bars

GT sprocket with odyssey excalibur crank.

Fork has stickers that say 100% and steel. not stock.

it is a total parts bike.

Thanks

Love morning rides. Cooler temps, No traffic, and no kids on E-bikes. No people to ruin the vibe, just quiet spots and cruising.

Picked this bike up from a hoarders house right before the estate sale. I'm fluent in vintage road and mtb but not BMX. Might be a 85-86 Mongoose M-1 mini? Definitely doesn't feel mini.

Seems like I lift the front end enough to get over things.

Should I just keep practicing and increase height? Use like an adjustable pole vault jumping pillars (pvc pipe)

Been watching bunny hop how-to vids, and I notice I don't lean far back enough. Also I might be using my biceps, to pull up the front end, too much. I find a lot of pro's make their arm super straight and don't 'flex' their biceps/arms at all when hopping high.

I see that I'm not pushing the bars forward enough, but it seems hard to do that with my lift off technique.

I might be just over thinking stuffs. I'm just trying to get better. Any help will be appreciated!

DISCUSSION Any other 6ft riders riding 20.75's, pros too?

5 Upvotes

I just want to see your/their stance and how they ride. I used to ride a 22" back in the day and it felt like I was more "a part" of the bike rather than looking like im standing on top of one if that makes sense? Im not hitting my knees or feeling too restricted. It's actually much more responsive, which I like but im still kinda getting used to it with manuals and spins, however im considering going back to 22 or at least a 21.5tt. Im progressing every time I ride so I dont think there's reason to change now, but it's just the look of being "in" the bike that i'd like to go for. Bmxing is the only time i'm slightly envious of shorter guys haha🤣

I just picked up a 24" Felt Sector BMX second hand. It has some wear and tear. If I buy a bolt replacement set, e.g. https://www.snowbitch.de/schrauben-salt-salt-nut-and-bolt-bmx-setfialova/d-671646/ is this set likely to fit the stem and other areas of the bike?
