[AznYoYoGuy2]

@ RandomMadness01 dude mongoose is a cheap bike brand

[thecastman97]

can you put chain tensioners on any bike frame? cause im thinking of buying a bianchi super pista frame (clearly not bmx) but in pictures on the website it has not tensioners

[Blix718]

You also have to keep in mind that there are high and low spots on a chain. Great vid for tech help.

I got the same rims on my MirraCo bike

[MendezGangsta1]

I have a diamonback a friend gave to me but it had two different kinds of tire sizes and crap. So i saved up money to get two of everything but i dont know about tires, rims and inner tubes. Can i put a 20x1.95 rim, tire, and inner tube on my bike?

-can yu please inbox me the answer? Thanks.

[BETTERBMX]

@MendezGangsta1 to be safe I would go no bigger than a 1.95 in the rear. If you slam your wheel all the way forward the tire may rub the chainstay if it is too big. It most cases a 2.0 can be run in the rear if your wheel is situated somewhat in the middle of the drop outs.

do you need to buy 2 chain adjusters or is it a pair

[chewties949]

i have been looking everywhere on the internet for this...How do you make your chain LOUDER...is the chain tensioner gonna make it do that?? what do i do

[SK8forever55]

@CrutialProductions you cant make your chain louder.. you can make your hub louder, to do that, take your hub apart and get all the grease out or buy a new hub, the loudest one i know of is the Shadow Raptor hub, its fucking awesome, i have the Primo Mix hub and its really loud too

[BETTERBMX]

Chians will stretch slightly at break in. I always ride my bike sitting down for the first 2 miles or so on a new chain to make sure the chain does not get stretched in any one parrticular spot by application of too much force in any one section. Quality chains reduce the amount of stretch that occurs over time. Your bike shop has measurement tools to let you know if your chain is too far gone to use. An overstretched chain will make your rear cog/free wheel and chainring/sprocket wear quicker.

@bigloc650 loosen ur cranks a tiny bit n put sum 3 in 1 oil in there they wont squeak anymore.. i used to have the same problem

[uzamaki022]

how many chain tensioners do u need?

[bom159]

@uzamaki022

just six

no i use two to center the wheel perfect

Randy S. won his most recent championship on a freeheel. Many pros use freewheels. No maintenance, no tune ups, no drag issues. Just a part that works. This particular freewheel has just many, and in most cases, more engagement points than most of the cassettes out today. Also no slop.

[ssurf30]

@BETTERBMX what are free wheels

[blasterkid101]

@ssurf30 a hub typically heavier than a cassette hub. the free wheel allows u move backwards with out pedaling backwards

[Niallsims666]

get with the times who still has freewheels

[BETTERBMX]

It's a Crupi with a White freewheel. Trials version. Check my others videos, there's of video of the freewheel getting loud.

[NeKoShinn666]
