The V bars would be awesome on that Redline. Best BMX channel on Utube. Thanks

[@michaelwhite9288]

Cleaned up, functional, and nice! Time to cruise

[@shaun8256]

Looks amazing. My rl540 has a lot of rust, that's a crazy awesome way to clean up the chrome.

[@douglasdauntless]

Im just starting to fix up my old 79' Redline its got 1st gen full wrap Flight Cranks, Bubble Chain ring, Red Torker neck, Uni hammerhead seat, KKT, Mx 1000, Araya on Suzie hubs. Not positive of which frame? 4" headtube, so...?

[@OH.A.M.]

The foil trick was just awesome. That is why I watch this channel.

[@midvalleymexicans4167]

Phu or anybody know where I can get a costume bike frame made?

[@THErickuss]

Wd40!is one of the best rust repellents (stands for water displacement 40) use at-205 reseal on all rubber or plastic parts.

[@vincentsantiago2gmai]

Do you do alot of redlines with 48” wheels peregrine

[@underpressurepressurewashi6688]

i have the same hubs the rear is kinda ruff i put new bearings but i think there may be something wrong with the threaded part the freewheel threads onto. i cant figure it out not sure if its damaged? also where can i get replacement dust covers that go over the bearings they press into the hub maybe they are rubbing? idk i restored my redline from a heap of dog shit so the hub might just be spent!

[@AlfredoMancuso]

I’d check eBay and BMXmuseum.com

[@underpressurepressurewashi6688]

@@AlfredoMancuso i want to know how to repair the hub? what is the threaded part called that the freewheel threads onto? is that supposed to move? mine moves and grinds. these hubs are different cuz most hubs that threaded part is milled onto the hub.

I got a similar redline cruiser with mtb fox forks hydro disc brake power bend bars. Reused spokes on back wheel and broke a spoke months later. Although they weren't stainless so I should of upgraded from the beginning. Lol no rust on frame because it's alluminum

[@flyinsaucer138]

tri flow and low grit sandpaper works too on rust, also I'm jealous of your spoke cutter

[@pedrorodriguez7122]

Simple green simple clean

[@kirstenspencer3630]

Simple green is acidic, the instructions say diluted to fifty to one ratio otherwise may attack aluminum or anodizing.

[@simonjandrell5897]

Question?? i bought a Mongoose Legion 500 recently and the spokes seem a little loose and wen i ride it the front wheel is making a funny noise (spokes make a pingin noise), my Mongoose Pro XL the spokes are AMAZING just so strong.. strange that the cheaper BMX is built way stronger.. any Tips as to what i do with the Legion 500 as its driving me Nuts (as its such a nice bike)

[@tommyjameslayton]

Yo, have you tried tightening up those spokes a quarter turn? Check on youtube, there's some good videos on this. I think a spoke key tool is less than 10$

[@simonjandrell5897]

@@tommyjameslayton i have purchased a spoke tensioner, tensioned every spoke front and back wheel and it now like new.. well pleased (a new skill set)

[@simonjandrell5897]

[@michaelmichalec8797]

i dont know what year redline this is but i had one similar in the late 90s. had a dyno compe before that got stolen. redline was the best bike i ever had. mine came with a a fatter tire than the other. i cant remember if it was front or rear. maybe someone here knows what im talking about. it was black and red. from what i found used ones go for over a 1000

There’s a even better way of keeping surface rust off of Crome & metal bike parts , buff all of them with a buffing wheel using Red Rouge , clean off the rouge & make sure you get it all cleaned off very good , then with a new buffing wheel buff all of your parts out with ZAM & clean all the ZAM off very good, Don’t leave any on any of your parts or your bike & you,ll never have surface rust on your bike again , it impregnates the metals with both buffing compounds & all you,ll have to do is use water on a towel & your good .i do this very thing to all my new bikes lightly of corse before I put any parts on my bikes or I,ll do this before I put my bikes together & very old school like back in the early 70s rider showed me this & it keeps your bike looking showroom fresh & all sparkly & it takes off any access oils & keeps them off .

Yo can you guys make a video on how to replace the rear freehwheel on a bmx bike? I swapped sprockets yesterday from a 25t to a 28t and i recently watched your video that if i run a 28t then i need a 10 tooth freewheel. im currently running a 9. Bikes a 2014 Salt. it was voted the fastest and lightest bike of that year. Jus tryna keep it alive cause it was my very first actual BMX bike i ever purchased. I've owned it since 2016. Edit: I Just came across y'alls channel and I been watching the vids like crazy. Keep them coming cause I'm 1 viewer you can count on to watch your content! :D

[@cfmechanic]

Black bars with the black wheels. Looks like this bike has 44/16

[@stewart4711]

Chain line for me . Dude want his bike set for looks . grind that chain

[@NickelEye.]

No confrontations?!

[@miked1165]

I had a redline pro line in like 97-98. It was one of my favorite bikes cause it weighed nothing! Got stolen, just like every other bike I owned as a kid. That was part of life in the late 80s and 90s! 🤬

[@lukasmueller2749]

Hello My names Luke. Im from Buffalo NY. We have a local shop that supportive in parts repair and aftermarket. By all means best to support the local. But me a novice wheel Builder. sourcing what hubs and rims I can new or second hand. Building wheels 12' to 29' it is always nice to save money. In your instance of reuse and relace. You seemed to be certain that you could reuse the spokes. What I would enjoy to see. if applicable. maybe a method you or coworkers have to relacing wheels. Not a tutorial of how to lace. But insight to. "do i measure my old rims ERD to match it to a new corresponding rim." or "is it necessary that spoke length matters." " do you the shop owner have a master bible of measuring spokes to a new rim?" Most hubs and rims all slightly differ in ERD and and hub flanges. Maybe talk any knowledge about spokes you know differentiate them characteristic, corresponding nipples to use. The spoke cutter and threader is a great tool many dont have. It would be interesting to see and hear more of it and past techniques you learned some you like some that shouldn't be used while measuring rims or cutting / selecting spokes. or when to and not to reuse a rim/hub/nip/or spokes. Maybe in this case you could wait until a customer bring in wheels they'd like redone. With either a new hub/rim/spokes. this could be a really long informational video that might be a bit much to cover ant once. In all Its a bicycle wheel, to some it a work of art others its just an advantage to life.
