I can not stress how much this bmx mom needed to watch this video. Appreciate this on a whole new level thank you.

[@ytsejamytsejam2394]

I wish there was more bmx videos like this that I can find

[@ericparriswright4475]

That was such a clean straight forward definition_ bomb job!

[@gchowder]

Wow! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm about to build wheels... and you just cleared up so may questions I had! Not to mention saved me tons of time... and kept me from making a load of mistakes purchasing the components! :D

[@nik_evdokimov]

Great video - everything straightforward and on point, amazing explanation, thanks!

[@Jett125]

One of, if not the best KZbin BMX channel but would love to see a maintenance/how to playlist

[@rawmtb9822]

[@chriswilliams9421]

[@yurBihouse]

I got a question on my rear hub axle I recently stripped it and its a 19mm and its a male casset and I don't really know which axle to buy and was wondering if you can help me with that?

[@thediychannel4650]

is it ok to use rear hubs for front tires?

[@ryanace7914]

If you have rear hub and it include female axle , its enough to hold the grind tricks ?

[@giobennett1573]

Do you know where i should buy my hubs from

[@LiquidGold_Productions]

What about hubs that have 2 threaded sides (1 side being a smaller thread than the other?)

[@stevecabapolous1172]

If my dropouts measure 120mm width then do I need a 110mm hub or does it need to match or be greater than the width?

[@kiannlavarias1130]

please explain the internal parts of semi sealed cassettes :'(

[@Fll3VY]

so are cassettes a standard size or are they all diffrent dependant on wheel?

[@rastadpl]

From what he was explaining they are a pretty standard size. But you have to count your wheel spokes to get the correct flange... But don't hold me to it. Id hit up a bike shop. Hubs are more complicated than I expected.

[@fielreyes4668]

can you change a 14mm axle to a 10 mm?

[@windexbottle3537]

No.

[@Toothless69420]

I have a question so I bought a blueprint Sunday bike off of someone and it has a small sprocket I could change the sprocket but there isnt enough space so could I switch the freewheel to a coaster on the same rim?

[@dominicvirtudes6593]

I didn't get anything at all? I buy a bike worth $16 they said it's original or something but I don't know anything about bmx and now I have one I might be able to understand it. I'm currently disassembling the bike to remove the rust and paint to get new parts and fix some of it without even having an experience.

[@thrashtodeth9442]

Wait do wheels come with hubs?

[@Bmxicano2]

You probably already found the answer but yes. A complete wheel comes with the hub. You can order or build a custom wheel with different spokes, hubs, and rims.

[@thrashtodeth9442]

@@Bmxicano2 Thanks dude, I actually hadn't found the answer.

[@ChadTheLad]

I have loose ball bearings around my cassette and dont know how to put them back. Please help me I want to ride.

[@Pushyhog]

slow edit down, so screenshot can be taken. More pics of inside.

[@Create_o_raptor]

Are female hub axles weaker?

[@alexpop8945]

i am asking the same thing and nobody is answering

[@windexbottle3537]

Yeah they are.

[@edgardowong5935]

No they are stronger because they are much harder to strip threads

[@robertwest4299]

Edgardo Wong what about bending? Is female stronger than male when it comes to bending? I honestly miss the days of 14mm front and rear. I never had to worry about bending axles.

[@bighashgang1990]

He looks like he's sitting at this local spot in Gilbert AZ

[@bighashgang1990]

Holy shit he is! I grew up riding that spot in the early 00's! Gilbert born and raised! That's my neighborhood!

[@Bighotwheelhunter]

my hub makes a clicking noise

[@ryanholley7332]

Steven centeno your bearings are shot

[@Bighotwheelhunter]

Ryan Holley it's brand new

[@JUNEBUGLLC]

does it work lol or just the noise

[@Bighotwheelhunter]

Atrocious Desperado it works good but it makes a noise I don't like but could be my bottom bracket but everything is new

[@gabekrana1685]

Steven c hey bud still having issues?

[@DanOnStilts]

I'm too poor to get a new hub for BMX. It's my dream to go pro but I made the mistake of getting a bike with a Mission Function Semi-Sealed rear hub and for two weeks now I havn't been able to ride. If anyone can afford to send me one, it would mean the world. Nothing fancy or even new is neccesary, just functional. Hate to beg but I'm out of options and I'm turning to the community for help.

[@driftkid9800]

My rear are 19mm on the outside 😒

[@omarbojorquez7826]

drift kid yeah mine too I can't find one

[@windexbottle3537]

Your nuts are 19mm (thats what she said). The axle itself is 14mm

[@LukeExclusivity]

Don't forget you also get a 68 spoke hub
