Parts & Bikes / Re: Standard Bykes flatland frame!
« Last post by metalbmxer on June 01, 2023, 02:10:22 AM »Quote from: Standard Byke CompanyThis little flatland specific custom frame is off to Japan! This has to be the lowest stand over we have built at 4.6”! This little trans red rig also features a 17.7” top tube length, a 12.2” rear, extra low bb, 75 head angle, 73 seat tube angle, and plug style drop outs for a smooth transition from the stays. Check out the pics!
I like how they swaged the chainstays for a smooth junction into the dropout. I rode a modified 250 (reklamation frame) and while it did not have a nice junction, I remember JAmes McGraw legit modified his to be super tapered and out of the way

I'm almost certain it's the flatland frame that Varo has been testing for the past year.

Parts & Bikes / Re: Cheap generic cables vs name brand cables
« Last post by out~riding on May 28, 2023, 07:42:48 PM »A regular standard brake cable has a spiral housing and the cable will stretch and bind.
The curve around the fork leg is particularly where you get the sponginess with a regular cable.
"Linear" cables have linear stands for the housing so you get a much more solid pull even in tight curves.

Parts & Bikes / Cheap generic cables vs name brand cables
« Last post by bmxelement90 on May 28, 2023, 06:38:04 PM »Does anyone else notice a loss in braking power when using a cheap generic cable over say an odyssey cable? I had a quick slik and my front brakes were perfect. I changed to a generic rainbow brake cable for my daughter and now my brakes suck lol.

https://vimeo.com/829515584
In the worldwide BMX flatland scene it is common to see riders with similar styles and tricks. Every so often a trendy style will come along and result in copycat riders. Ultimately, being original or having your own style becomes one of the top priorities of most riders.
In the American scene the vast distances between riders creates a vast difference in riding styles. Being original is a goal and badge of honor for these riders. It can be an easy trap to fall for, to ride like someone else you admire. But be original. Be yourself. Don’t be a copycat. And, WATCH OUT FOR ROBOTS.
A film by Steven Lapsley featuring Lindsey Bode, Bobby Burge, Bobby Carter, Omari Cato, Joe Cicman, Mickey Gaidos, Pedro Melo and Art Thomason.
