What pedals do you have on there? I want a pair :)!

1. How many of the coaster brake hubs are Komets? (I can never get the Perry hubs adjusted correctly for some reason). 2. Of those Komet hubs, how many have oil ports? Thanks!

Good call. I actually order through my LBS a lot, but usually I'm having them order stuff I have already discovered ahead of time online. I always forget about the catalog, though. Maybe it's because any time I attempt to look through the catalog the employees never just let me flip through...

My bad; I'm flipping through Niagara Cycle Works BMX selection and it looks like there quite a few choices that are close to what I'm looking for (though few (if any) list sweep measurements). I'd still be interested in hearing what people recommend, though :).

There are a number of people here that probably know BMX bars better than I do, and there are an overwhelming variety out of bars out there on the market (and few sites give you decent filters to sort them out). Plus I know there are a number of smaller distributors (Porkchop, Al's, etc.) that...

About to send you a message on this one :).

Definetely. Vertical clearance is what I always forget to take into account when planning out a bike build :D. Thanks for the measurements!

Looks like I got some misinformation; the bike is probably a later model after all. I'm still interested to see what information I can get out of these pictures, though: Thanks :)!

Hmm, Wal-Mart's website lists the frame as steel. There is next to no information out there on the bike, though, so who knows. And does that mean that Worksmans (Worksmen?) have more clearance for fatter tires than Summit (and, in turn, I'd presume, SHD's)? That's interesting to hear; I'd...

Thanks - I had watched that video back when it first came out, but I swear it was him converting from 1" to 1 1/8". Maybe he did a seperate video on that. Or maybe I'm just getting forgetful! Either way, thanks!

I don't know if they update the stickied thread in this forum of the best/most-useful "how-to" guides, but as far as I'm concerned this deserves to be up there. What a wealth of great of information. Even if I never do half of these conversions I just simply like knowing how they would be...

I don't want anyone to have to explain this procedure here; I'm sure it's been covered plenty elsewhere, but it's really difficult to search on google! Every result for converting is always about converting from 1" threaded to 1 1/8" threadless. So if anyone can link me to a good tutorial (or...

Hmm ... that is an interesting thought I had not considered. Admittedly, half of the appeal of Asylum Hank to me was the fact that it can fit up to 2.9" wide tires (although I've talked to the manufacturer and it sounds like it'd be closer to 2.7"). I'd much sooner trust riding a SHD/Summit...

I've never heard that rule of thumb before, but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing it :)! Also thanks for sharing the info on the cro-mo seat tube. I'm running a Wald 13/16 to 7/8 seatpost on my wife's bike, and there honestly is no reason for me to upgrade the seatpost at this time...

Sweet, I'll try to get the owner to send me a shot of the headbadge.

I cannot comment on the rest of their product line, but the WTB Devo is absolutely the most comfortable seat I have. It pains the aesthetic side of me, because I have gorgeous leather saddles that look so beautiful on my bikes ... but at the end of the day nothing touches the Devo for me. So I...

Just wanted to get some info on these bikes; I wasn't around when the early models were being released, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on them online. However ... whenever these bikes do pop up they always seem to command a (relatively) high price (around $200). I'm just...

I'm about to take this thread on a bit of a detour, and for that I apologize in advance :thumbsup:. First, thanks for introducing me to this bike! After researching a bit on the internet, about 99% of the discussion that has taken place over this bike has been on this forum, so I'm not sure...

:bigsmile: This is painfully true. Sometimes I'll finish up a build, and start thinking to myself that it wasn't really that much of an accomplishment (compared to, say, building a car or something), but then I remember just how much trivial information I had to know just to accomplish said...

Thanks, this is exactly the answer I needed. I really can't resist at least trying out 650B, though; if a test ride at a LBS turns out positive, that Nashbar Bees Knees might just be in my future. A *HUGE* thanks for pointing out those Schwalbe 590's, too. I really had just given up thinking...
