Buying a complete BMX bike can be a real hassle. If you are in the market for a new bike watch this video where we break down the main differences in BMX bikes and why they are different.
If you have any Questions please leave a comment
BMX has taken a technological boost in the last decade towards providing better quality materials which has kind of changed the market of hi tensile bmx bikes. At one time, bikes with a similar "low" side description were good but other materials and manufacture processes have affordably taken hold.
This has also made hi tensile bikes even more cheaper, since those cheaper materials are not widely used as much, you can no longer trust the quality of them. There isn't any demand for quality with those types of bikes so they don't have it anymore.
Thanks you all for watching & SUBSCRIBE for more BMX related content

my first bmx was high tensile steel and I learned 180, 360, barspins, grind tricks, and lots of other tricks worked fine for me
@BMXNEWSCHANNEL
@BMXNEWSCHANNEL 8 жыл бұрын
+LinkzTV That's what they are there for but it also depends on your style... Some people bail a lot as beginners and slam their bike down into grinds before they really learn them. I couldn't ride hi tensile when I was learning because I would bend frames like candy I was so rough. For me it was more beneficial to buy one chromoly bike that would last a couple years as opposed to going through 2 & 3 hi tensile frames a year.

My first bmx that i seriously rode was a wethepeople arcade 2014. It saw 540 s, barspins, gaps and sets too. After 5 years it only needed a rear rim replacement. Still i eventually upgraded with a better bmx aftermarket but still i ll keep the arcade for the sake of memories of what i started out woth

Well hi-ten steel is pretty strong and can handle just as much as chromolly but is very heavy so when you get a light bike made of hi-ten steel it's weak so combining the two is a pretty good idea because you can use thinner chromolly tubes and thicker steel tubes for about the same weight and full chromolly is the best there is because it's durable and lightweight
@BMXNEWSCHANNEL
@BMXNEWSCHANNEL 6 жыл бұрын
+ricky spanish Very educated comment. I've been trying explain to people that Hi tensile steel can be just as strong but not when made into a lighter weight bike such as chromoly. One thing I have noticed over the years is the weld combining both metals in a partial chromoly frame crack a lot soon than you should expect.

I don't know if you are still replying to comments on here but I have a question. I'm looking to make my bike lighter and the best thing I can think of is to go out and buy a full chromoly frame. I have a custom kink curb. I would be happy with my bike just losing two pounds from that. Anything lower than that, I'm not going to waste the effort. The frame I am looking at is cult hawk.

I think the late 90s was the best time for BMX. BMX was thought of as just fad of the 80s and it seemed that way since it was nearly dead by 1989. but after 1995 there was a BMX renaissance. This could have been due to the rapid technological development of the mountain bike during the 90s which brought attention to all bikes in general. This along with the X Games brought on a resurging popularity of BMX. The point I was trying to make is that it seems that today you don't really have BMX bikes in the mid range that are all that great. You just have high end or cheap stuff now. Back in the late 90s a mid quality bike would have a full cromoly or aluminum alloy frame but have a one piece crank and three piece cranks were on higher end bikes. You are better off putting a one piece crank on a better quality frame than a cheap frame with a three piece just to make it look good.

Sealed Mid BB Sealed 9T Cassette Hub in Low: Hi Tensile Steel Frame Single Wall Rims From what I've read and seen and heard it's more or less not bad for a starter and with a relatively affordable price (£250) It's not too bad in my opinion.

Haros arent horrible bikes, I started off on one personally. A tensile frame may be an issue, however its not actually a huge deal to replace, and if you can get a bike with some solid pieces (chromoly cranks, decent hub) it will work as a starting point, however if you want to be riding for a long time, its probably a good idea to look a bit more upmarket.

+Mitya bozhko There are a ton of choices. Between all the high end bikes the ones that are most expensive are kind of gimmicks. Don't get me wrong, they are some of the best bikes out there, but their jacked up prices are because they offer the most popular/expensive parts like custom bikes.. If you don't know exactly what you want in a bike than a $1000 bike is a waste. You can pick a bike like the Kink Whip or Mongoose R120 and have a legitimate high end spec bike but with out the exclusive name brand parts which jack the price up.

I know a shit ton more now than I used to know. The only thing you left out was the different styles of spokes and if it matters for strength? Are the plastic pedals as good as the aluminum ones? Do those metal discs that protect the hub and spokes, does that come as part of the frame?

+Shaun Kelly All though you & I know what that stuff is, they are not "common" things you see in sale descriptions. I left little stuff like that out to try and not confuse parents or beginners. We plan to have more videos soon that should help...Thank you so much for your feedback! - To answer your questions: Types of spokes are not a big deal. The backbone of any strong BMX wheel is a quality rim and proper truing regardless of what spokes you have.. With pedals it's more of a preference. I personally ride plastic after riding metal for a long time and they are similar in reliability. If you grind a lot a plastic pedal can wear down really quick though.. Metal is heavier and can knock your shins harder so it really preference... Those disks that protect hubs are called grind guards. They are not part of frames but they are sold and installed for hubs.. They slide over the axle or install onto the hub. We have a video that can give you a general idea of a plastic grind guard called "Merritt Tension BMX Hub Guard".

+Alejandro4891 Try looking into these sites: Https://www.danscomp.com Https://www.albes.com Https://www.chainreactioncycles.com I suggest a full Chromoly set up. But the size bike I recommend is at least a 21" Top Tube (TT). I am the same height as you and I ride a 21. The reason why I suggest spending the extra money for a full Chromoly is because non full chromoly set ups are more for teenage beginners.. At 25 fully grown I recommend full chromoly. It will last longer.

It's about time. Thank you for the rational version. I get the physics, now tell me why it makes sense for ME ... No Bullshit. ALUMINUM OR STEEL? If any part of your bike is steel, it's probably 4130. Easy to make and unbelievably cheap, it is a workhorse metal. For steels, the first two numbers indicate the principle alloying elements, a lot like the first number in aluminum alloys. 41 is the area code for chromium and molybdenum. You would probably never guess that all the 'chromoly' in your frame weighs less than the meat in a Big Mac. The last two numbers, 30, represent the carbon content of the steel in hundredths of a percent. So 4130 contains 0.30% carbon. This is a critical amount that represents a compromise between strength and ease of weldability. Steels with less carbon aren't as strong. Steels with more carbon don't join as well. Steel is usually used in the normalized condition. Normalizing increases strength a little and involves making the steel uniform by heating and allowing diffusion. Let's start by taking a look at a pile of numbers for aluminum and steel: ALUMINUM Alloy Tensile Proof Elongation Designation Strength (psi) Strength (psi) (%) 6061-0 18000 8000 25 6061-T6 45000 40000 12 7005-T6 51000 42000 13 7050-T6 83000 73000 11 7075-T6 83000 73000 11 STEEL Alloy Tensile Yield Elongation Designation Strength (psi) Strength (psi) (%) 4130 annealed 81250 52250 28 normalized 97000 63250 25 high T temper 118000 102000 22 low T temper 236000 212000 10 There is no photo.... thanks for playing - ride on
