Wanted 20" BMX bike

[jeeper]

I've been watching for 20"s, none here at the Centerville one or the 4500 S. SLC one in one week's time.

The DI's have a metal dumpster where they toss MANY bikes.. Get some of those. Just dont get caught pulling them out

Ok, so I am fairly serious about this now also..

Not to high jack your thread.. But..
-Why not use a 24" or 26" mountain bike front? The larger wheel looks a bit cooler on the vids I have seen, but does it hinder or help performance at all??
-Why are there soo many that have NO brakes on these??
-I would think these qualify about the same as a bicycle while on the road.. I doubt there is a law against them (yet) as its still a fairly new fad. How much trouble could one get in for riding them??

-bigger front tires are cool, but calf burns are not...
-the best brakes are your feet... You NEED sacrificial shoes. Most trikes only have a front brake if any... My current build has a live rear axle with a disc brake and will soon have a disc front. We'll see if 2 brakes is worth it.
-SLC cops are cool... Have even hung out and watched a couple times. Just have to follow traffic laws (like a bicycle) ....don't put a motor on it, then they can get ya.

These look pretty cool. I have a set of racing leathers that would prob be the bomb for body protection.

I can't imagine trying to drift one of those down Butterfield and surviving. Lots and lots of gravel and steep hills. Does look like fun though.

Are the rear wheels just Big Wheel type hard plastic?

too big of front wheel will hit your legs when turning.

James: What rake do I want on the front? I've heard 35* is that right?

you want something else to paint flames on then sell? :busted:

No, just something for a good, fun stress release!

30-35 degrees seems to be ideal
