1. Check your air in the tires (psi). 2. Check your spokes. 3. Check/lube your sprockets! 4. Check your brakes, lube em up. 5. Lube the gyro area.

Used to race in the late 70$ early 80s. After raising the kids I find myself getting seriously back into the whole BMX lifestyle; your vids and advice have been huge help. Thanks a ton you guys.

Phu is right the colder temp sauce prevents the sauce from really coating your tongue the more warmer the sauce the easier it's going to sleep in your tongue

For me tire pressure makes all the difference I'm with phu

Even if tightening the spokes gives your wheel THAT much of a wiggle you can pretty much eyeball it and look up a KZbin video on how spokes work.

Replace tyres, inner tubes, lube chain & and replace brake cable inner then see how it goes and the bike will tell you what else needs doing.

as road cyclist, love how you can squeeze the top tube on the stand 😂😂

[@iStiflock]

Damn that second tip though that's what i needed to hear because my spokes are noisy. But when I feel them they are really tight i am wondering if this fix will still work for me?

[@AlfredoMancuso]

Might need to get them just a hair tighter

[@MerchantOfDeath15]

Nipple lubricant. Just a drop on each spoke nipple, once a season. This will keep your spokes happy, and will prevent seizing.

[@robertlund5694]

Also where the spokes rub together can make noise if they are a bit older!

[@alans4281]

You could try rubbing a little candle wax on the spot that the spokes cross.

[@Mic420m]

Any advice on straightening bent frames? Is it worth it??

[@mowersandbmxbikes8831]

No it’s junk

[@motosapien2310]

Do not even try it..That frame has stress just like a helmet when you crash,even if you bend it back or can't see it,it already lost its integrity the metal is weakened

If it's an aluminum frame, forget it.

[@joelvideira5360]

[@ccgdrgreenthumb]

I feel like the cap Sason inside of the hot sauce at room temperature could potentially make the hot sauce seem hotter I’m not a professional but I’ve been growing extremely hot peppers out here in Las Vegas and people get back to me saying the hot sauce is not that hot after they’ve kept it in the fridge raider for more than 24 hours thank you for making these videos

Where is your bike shop located in California??

[@xavxnlx2915]

My bikes dialed almost but my rear tire keeps getting wobbly after I ride then I tighten it then it gets wobbly again

[@eatmysalt291]

Is it the hub/axle coming lose? Or the bolts on the outside of the dropout slots?

Might need a more thorough truiing

I leave my wheels to my bro at local bmx shop , but I break my bikes down and clean and re grease them all up …. Ah I do do my bearings and axles with my wheels just not spokes or build . I have a fleet of 6 , 5 mid school Hoffman’s, and a haro flair

[@kevintorres2274]

What do I do if my bike slows down real quick when I stop peddling? Sometimes it rides ok but most of the time it feels hard and doesn’t wna coast as much what can I do? It’s a fit bike 20”??

[@raw_si_siht]

Brakes catching the rim? Wheels tightened too much crushing the bearings?

How are some ways to make you chain quieter/remove poping, creaking. besides lubricating it. I've tried many times and nothing works

[@chumpy.]

if its like one of those cheaper 410 or 510 chains they're bound to making bad sounds n stuff without lube, the only solution I would know is buying a new chain, otherwise u may have to keep lubing it. Old 410 chains dry up extremely easily and stretch.

[@v4skunk739]

That can happen because the sprocket and crank are not aligned properly.

[@robertlund5694]

Chain specific video on here

[@courtneytuell4]

Lube it

[@thunderhorse6666]

I got a question... any idea why after peddling and im just coasting my rear rub makes a light grinding type sound? It's not to harsh of a grinding sound just more like metal on metal sound and i can make it stop by moving the cranks a little bit. Also keep in mind I'm brand new to bmx and all my knowledge has come from you guys and thank you guys for these video's!:) ps it's a standard cassette hub not one of those fancy pants hubs

[@raw_si_siht]

Crushed wheel bearing maybe.

I have a shadow optimized freecoaster and I tighten everything and there’s some weird sound when I drop test it

[@juliangaribay4711]

Free coasters have a ton of play and it also depends on what type of internals your fc has aswell try using Grease

[@rudylopez5541]

@@juliangaribay4711 I did grease it and the spokes are trued I don’t know why It sounds like i didn’t tighten the locknuts

[@juliangaribay4711]

@@rudylopez5541 it's most likely the internals they use some fc hubs come super loose stock out the box go to the shadow website for hub info and how to adjust slack or sometimes if the hub uses poly bushings they're probably blown out or wore out and making it loose that's why it makes that loose sound also sometimes if you're frame is warped on the drop outs when you drop your bike it'll make a creaking sound because the bolts shift on the dropouts But yeah fc hubs usually have alot of play in them because of the internals or slack adjustment most likely it's the clutch rattling inside of the hub ask others that have your hub ask them if they're hub has a ton of play or slack but typically all fc hubs have this problem aswell the planetary hub or bsd hub use similar internals just different dimensions or features these hubs are new and use different internals conpared to primo stranger bsd federal etc hubs that use like a khe fc internal style yeah these hubs do have differences but typically use similar internals because it worked and wasn't hard to understand the internals and back then fc hubs were still being developed and was kinda hard to really advance the engineering on fc hubs... always check specs and features before buying parts

[@rudylopez5541]

@@juliangaribay4711 everything’s tighten and then I get my bike and shake the wheel it’s nothing from the inside I think you probably just have to really crank down on the lock nuts because I watched a KZbinr talk about it

I always brake clean or carb clean my headset bearings when they start to creak or feel slow when they've been sitting I take the headset off clean the head tube top and bottom then take the dust shields off the headset spray em with brake clean/carb clean till all the grease is out let spin em and dry them then I put a bit of lube to coat the races first this prevents the bearings from worn down because some times grease is a bit thicker and is a bit slower to penetrate or coat the bearings then I grease em then put the shields back on and ever since it's kept my headsets fresh and smooth I always spray brake clean or lube on a paper towel then wipe the hub teeth then lube em up a bit then use grease This is important for Madera or profile hubs or any hub in general because the profile or Madera rear hubs come dry on the engagements and pawls and do have a bit of machining residue or lube they used for storage
